Gone Again

Finally got a chance to put together some collages from the pictures taken from Gone in Sixty Seconds.

Here’s one based on a comic strip theme.

The American Harp Journal

blog — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:08:23 +0000

Back in October, I blogged about Rhett and his Atlanta Harp Center. Today as I was working, Julianne rushed in and said “wait right here, I have to show you something.” Minutes later, she showed me the American Harp Journal. In it, near the front cover is a picture I took of Rhett’s harp used as an advertisement for the Atlanta Harp Center. Here’s what it looks like.

It looks so good on a full size magazine.

July 4th in Orlando

blog — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:10:52 +0000

This year, we headed down to Orlando for Independence Day. We were running late to attend the fire works show at Avalon Park in south east Orlando. But everything worked out and we got there just in time for what turned out to be a great show.

One thing I noticed about the show this year, the fire works looks so much like flowers.

Annika

Quiet. That pretty much describes Annika when we met. Fortunately, I had my kids with me that day they got along just fine. Annika didn’t say much to me that day, but she was nice enough to let me snap a few shots. Here’s a few. To see the rest of the pictures, click here.

KA

blog — Sat, 17 May 2008 05:57:48 +0000

No, we don’t call her KA. In the fast pace of online communication, it’s just easier to use her initials. So in the online world, she’s known as KA… at least to me. I wouldn’t doubt it if that’s how her friends type her name when they’re text messaging. One of the things we wanted to accomplish in this session is to take KA’s “senior portraits”. She’s going to be a senior in just a short week. So first, we headed out to KA’s high school.

But this session isn’t really just about KA, it’s also about little sis, A.

And Mom, M.

And Dad, T.

OK, let’s get back to the “senior portraits”. Here’s KA again, with her prom dress on the rail road tracks next to their subdivision.

And about half way through our shoot, here comes the train.

Betsy

blog — Sat, 03 May 2008 05:19:50 +0000

Today is Betsy’s Senior Prom with South Forsyth High School. The weather forecast for today was rain, rain, and more rain. As I was preparing to go to photograph Betsy, I was thinking what a terrible weather day it would be for her. But no, the skies opened up by the time I got to her house.

Here she is on her porch.

John came over shortly to pick up his date.

Here’s a quick fun moment.

And a few headshots of Betsy before they’re off to the party.

The rest of the photos can be view here. Special thanks to Austin and Jacob for assisting with the lights.

Katie

I first post about Katie here. Today is her Prom with South Forsyth High School. I also found out, today is her first day of job training. Poor Katie, it must have been quite a day to remember. Below are two of my favorites, but you can view them all here. Special thanks to Austin and Jacob for assisting with the lights.

Gone in Sixty Seconds

blog — Fri, 02 May 2008 05:38:42 +0000

What guy doesn’t love this movie, Gone in Sixty Seconds? Well, here’s the mustang inspired by the movie’s Shelby Mustang GT, nicknamed Eleanor. The Ronaele is Eleanor spelled backwards. You can see all the pictures here.

I’ve photographed a few cars in the past while it’s revving. But the Ronaele just plain ROARS. There’s no way to hold a camera steady with that kind of power under the hood. That’s why the picture isn’t tack sharp, the vibration of the Ronaele is just too intense. But I like it that way, it kinda represents the real life feeling.

Unlike the movie, this mustang is red. Yes, the black paint seems to be missing in some letters of the badge in the picture below. I like to think it’s because the acceleration blew off the paint.

I love the exhaust here. And what’s not to like about those 285/30ZR20’s.

OK, enough of the static detail shots. This 450R horse was built to be driven.

Pure Fashion Show 2008

blog — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:49:23 +0000

Today was the 9th Annual Pure Fashion Show. This is the second year that I’ve had the privilege to photograph the fashion show under Ben Vigil Photography. I’ve posted about Pure Fashion before here and here, so I don’t want to be repetitive. This year, it was another great show.

Lindee Link opened the show with a wonderful performance.

And Carried Away performed a great set of Christian music.

Through the help of Make-A-Wish Foundation, Heather Holtry was able to showcase her own design that will be auctioned off for charity after the show. Heather is battling chronic, disseminated, late-stage Lyme Disease and her wish is to have her design shown in a Pure Fashion Show. Below is Heather.

And here are two of her own designs of modest gowns.

The Atlanta Ballet and Pure Fashion presented a special performance by premiere dancer Mary Kate McCarthy in honor of Heather.

And finally, the 2008 Pure Fashion Models.

Unfortunately, I can only show a small number of models. The entire show was amazing.
