Julia and Ben part two
Julia and Ben
For a while, Julia and Ben have been the first thing you see when you go to my website. The image was taken when we were shooting their engagement pictures way back when.
They’ve now been married six years and look as young and beautiful as they did back then. I was thrilled to hear we were in the same town for the holidays and even more thrilled to be able to shoot some more photos of them. Julia and Ben revisited. Let me tell you, Julia and Ben are so on the ball. After you hang out with them for a while, you’ll want to exercise more, eat right, and do something great, like sky dive or learn how to drive a race car. Thanks, Julia and Ben. It was sure great to see you and catch up. I’ll be posting a few more from our shoot, shortly. In the mean time, enjoy this one.

Portrait – Bruce Howell
When Bruce went to the hospital they told him he had cancer. They told him that he had one month to live if he didn’t take the treatment, eight months if he did. That was nearly two years ago.
After the doctors told him the news he kept working for another year. Retiring early was difficult for him. He sold his airplane and his work equipment. He told me it was harder selling his equipment than his plane. He and his wife still have the Harleys.
Four or five years after he graduated from high school he got a job doing what he loved, what he was good at, and where he could make a lot of money. Bruce spent his life as a drilling engineer and has traveled all over the world on account of his profession. Next month, he’ll be sixty years old. Merry Christmas, Bruce. It was great to see you.

Talking about photography
Here is a really great article about the challenge of talking about photography to people that don’t know all that much about it. This is written by a photo editor at a well known publication (although he doesn’t say which publication). His challenge is to convince the magazine editor which photo will best serve the accompanying article. One of the challenges for wedding photographers is to help their potential clients see the difference between a skilled photographer and an untrained weekend shooter. You might think people would be able to see the difference, but you’d be surprised.
Here’s a quote from the article. “The first place to look is the fine art world, because they have shattered any preconception that focus, exposure and subject matter have anything to do with what makes a photograph great.”

Bridal shot from the archives
I’m going through some older images from the archives, stuff I shot on a film a while ago. I’m making some high res scans to find some images to print for the new office. Here’s a gem I think turned out nice. This is Paula. Lovely.
Family Portraits – the Zrno Family
Angela is one of my favorite people of all time. But big deal, because anyone that knows her would say the same thing.
