Getting ready for 2009!

It has snowed enough in Ohio that I got to use my 4-wheel drive today. Whoohoo! The thought of a snow day blows my mind since it was not that bad in Tennessee the last several years. With the move I had a chance to do a major "Pre-Spring Cleaning" and getting ready for 2009! It has been an intense four months since I moved to Ohio, but with understanding friends, family, and clients I have been catching up leaps and bounds. Now that things are put away and sorted I am starting to enjoy working on some personal photography and as always pushing myself to grow as an artist. Later this year I am very excited about putting more time and effort into using dramatic lighting on location. Until then I want to post a few photography non-sequiturs so to speak of shots I see along the way. Soon I would like to introduce some of the new talent that will be assisting me this year at weddings, portrait shoots, and behind the scenes. I can't introduce them without some fun/embarrassing images, so I will save that until later. Here is a silly one of me for you to laugh at until I can get them on here.

Wallace & then some...

Wallace is a friend of mine's dog that is 5'11" and 6'4" with his hair. He is a handful and reminds me of the dog in Marley & Me. He is so smart that I bet he will be driving when he turns 16. Wallace is lucky enough to have Paula Willmot Kraus as his owner. She is an amazing photographer and currently is showing her work in Ohio. Be sure to check out her work at paulawillmotkraus.com. While I was visiting Wallace I took a few images of my surroundings just for fun.
