Door to Nowhere

dill_door_high_contrast_800hDillon and I went out to scout some “urban” photo locations the other day. One of the best places we found was this door. Instead of posing him, I told him to just do what he wanted. This is what I got. While editing the picture I added some high contract with the curves filter in Photoshop. I love how it looks.

Softbox Root Beer

Got my new small portable softbox today. It fits over my flash. Took a couple of shots to test it out. This was my favorite.

Summer Time

Summer is officially here. Dillon has his mohawk and is looking tough.

Waiting for Godot?

I was taking some random shots last night in the backyard. This is a pretty normal pose for Dusty most days. If he’s not chasing Rocky around, he’s sitting in front of the fence… like he’s waiting for something. Maybe it’s the ice cream man.

Truckin’

My wife makes cakes as a hobby. Last weekend she made an old Chevy truck for a groom’s cake. I think it looks awesome.

The Catcher & His Mask

We went to the Medievel Fair in Norman today. Lots of people dress up for this, so it’s a good place to get pictures. It was kind of cold today, so there weren’t as many people as usual. But these are my favorite pictures. For a couple of them I put the background in black [...]

Audition

Today Erickson is auditioning for the Sooner Theatre’s summer production of Beauty and the Beast. For the audition, he has to have a head shot. I think “normal” headshots are boring. So we shot a “normal” head shot, then 3 other “active” shots that we included as smaller shots at the bottom. These are the [...]

Big 12 Brackets

Someone gave me tickets to the first round of the men’s Big 12 Championship. So I pulled Erickson out of school to go watch Texas play Colorado. After the game, we stopped to watch this. This is one of the giant brackets on the Cox Center in OKC. When each game is over, a guy [...]
