Beautiful Calamity

This last week I had the opportunity to do a shoot for a some guys from Crawfordsville, In. that have started their own Christian band. They call themselves “Beautiful Calamity”.  I had a great time hanging out with these guys and we got some great shots! Two of the guys are still in highschool. They are fun, creative, full of life and they love to use their music to honor God. I don’t know about you but that all sounds great in my book. If you want to hear some music from their recently released demo you can check it out here. Thanks guys for the opportunity to create some awesome images for you….I had a blast. Oh yeah, and thanks for the CD!!!

Megan’s Senior Pictures

Last week I had the privilege to take Megan’s senior pictures. It was extra special for me because years ago when we lived in Anderson Julie and I were Megan’s youth pastors. I remember when she was in 5th grade standing outside our youth center sneaking a peek inside to see what all the “Big Kids” were doing. Well, now Megan is the “Big Kid” and she graduates in a 9 short months. Thanks Megan for allowing me to help create these memories for you. Make sure your senior year is your best year!!!

My boys at the Colts Camp

Last monday I had a photo shoot over in Anderson, In. Well it just so happens that the Indianapolis Colts are holding their training camp in Anderson. So, we got up extra early and the whole family headed over to watch the “Boys in Blue” practice. Both of my sons are HUGE Colts fans and even BIGGER Peyton Manning fans. They had a great time at the camp. They got to see the team practice and to see Peyton throwing the football. They were on cloud nine. The only down side was that we stood in the autograph line for about an hour and just when there were about 10 people ahead of us until our turn they shut the line down. The boys were a bit bummed but it was a great lesson in attitude for them…(and me) Ha! Now hopefully I can get them to a game this year. If I can pull that off I’ll offically be “SUPER DAD!!!”  Hear are a few pics from our day.

A visit to the Eye Doctor

I did a shoot for Zionsville Eye Center yesterday. I shot portraits of all the staff and some enviromental portraits for their new website and promotional material. The shoot went well and I had a great time because the whole staff were so much fun. Thanks Dr. Haines you’ve got a great team. Here is a shot of Dr. Nick Garn. Nick is a great guy and happens to be a friend. If you live in the Zionsville area make sure to stop by and give him a visit.

Project 52…”Hidden Surprise”

Okay, I know I just posted a Project 52 pic but I shot this on the same night that I shot the Versus pic.  The title of image is “Hidden Surprise”. I don’t have a long back story on this shot I was just looking for a fun concept. I love shooting different concepts. I love creating “art” with my camera.

Now for some technical stuff for all my photog friends. I shot this with three flashes, all off camera. There are two flashes on the right and left of me pointing toward my shoulders. I have home made snoots on the flashes. The idea was to create some seperation from the background causing me to stand out a bit more. The third flash is inside the box and has a yellow gell on it. All three flashes were set to 1/8th power. The camera was set at 1/60th of a sec at f 5.6 and iso 100. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
