Thanks for the words everyone. It’s complicated to really try and clarify. The way it looks is that if a judge grants her request, I’ll have to find a way to pay $2,000 within 48 hour, and the remaining $10,000 within 30 days or have a warrant placed. That’s a lot of money that I […]

I thought it was pretty easy to get into. Simple, informative, & the photos were very helpful. Simple solutions & (so far) great results.

Yeah, actually it is.

I went through an DIY e-book on home studio lighting a couple of months ago. We should compare…

Tim, since I moved, I’ve been mostly confined to the reaches of my own home, since I now live 8-10 miles out of town. And we only have one car that my fiance uses to go to work in the morning. So I’ve been practicing this extensively. Everything opens up. But not just that, I’ve […]

Excellent anecdote, @tomdinning. I knew you’d catch a hold of that. Don’t worry. I’m a 27 year old who has no problem whatsoever thinking about sex. And my passion for that is as great as my passion for photography. My lady wouldn’t have it any other way. If everyone’s not careful, they’ll get what I’ve […]

There are some great answers here. It’s the timeless question. I don’t know that I can possible come up with an answer that is different from what my friends here have added & make a reader nod their head in agreement. For me, it’s this: I DO consider myself a photographer. I practiced and improved […]

@tomdinning – you should aim a bit higher with your extortion demands. Make at least a case of chocolate bars.

New home (and the backyard that goes with it) A seemingly warm and vibrant sunshine (wink, wink) with the cold and bare dormant tree in our back yard. I wanted to make the sun out to be big & bad and strong because it’s how I imagine the sun being when I’m trying to stay […]

Last set from this shoot.

I think I’m really starting to get the technique down. Funny thing is that I didn’t think I’d be able to use any of the shots for HDR, because while I was bracketing three frames per shot, I was shooting handheld. My tripod still hasn’t made the trip yet. And with the sun waning on […]

More from Dogpatch, as promised.

I DO appreciate getting feedback from people here. No concerns about pageviews and kudos, and more focused on having dialogue and feedback over it.

Still waiting for @tomdinning & our @admin to offer any morsels for my latest contributions to the site. :PP

I’m doing that right now too, Tom. I’ve been reading and researching and learning so much more lately, but I’ve also been formulating my own perspectives based on it all, & I’m rebranding myself. I have a big soft spot for raw visual impact. And above everything else, that’s what I want my photography to […]
