A boy and his dog, Smiles

My son had a conversation with our dog in our families back yard, then posed for a perfect portrait. 

Hazel & Jeremy - Engagement

I was lucky enough to shoot these two on one of the most beautiful afternoon/evening. At Craggy Gardens mother nature gave a gorgeous sunset, giving use great light.  Although it was about 20 degrees colder then it was back in town, these two's love kept them warm enough for the shoot.

Fuji Instant Film

For my birthday March 2013, I received a Polaroid Land Camera from my girlfriend wife. This is one of the most enjoyable camera's I have ever used. After shooting one pack of film, I immediately ordered a bunch more knowing I would be use this all the time And that I did, I brought it everywhere with me. Earlier this week Fuji announced that they will be discontinuing their Black and White instant film. This is sad news. The black and white instant film is so versatile, its high speed (ISO 3200) and grain free. It will be missed. Fuji will still make their color film which is nice so I will still be able to shoot with this camera, but not in a wide variety of shots. With the color film being ISO 100, It will pretty much be outside day time.  Here are a bunch of my favorite shots with this amazing camera.

Lens-less Camera

Last year for Christmas I got a Zero Image Pinhole Camera. Well almost a year later I finally developed some photos taken with it. This camera is magic! Its just a box with a pin prick of a hole in a plate of tin. Thats all.... But it works, and pretty well at that. I definitely have to get used to composing and getting correct exposure times. Cant wait to use this camera more.
