Life in Color Photography

Reid (with the spiders) and her boyfriend Eric (the vampire with his arm around Bj). I also enjoyed Martin’s ‘dot com explosion"


(that would be Tex, bent over and laughing so hard at Bj, who kept playing up the part). And now I need to do some last minuet things to get V’s costume ready then it’s sleepover time up in Portland so I can trick or treat with her. I’m so excited!

Oh and if you sent me an email before Tuesday I can’t respond to it because we installed Leopard (um, amazing!) and there is no plug in for hotmail for Mail yet. So all my messages are stuck in the computer. Boo Hoo. I’m not ignoring you, I just can’t get to them! Hopefully soon. Hotmail sucks and I would ditch it all together but I’ve had the same email address for 11 years. I tend to like to hold on to things like that.

Look at me, I’m a grown up with a brand new car!

It’s one of those CR-V‘s (but 2007 kind). I know, I know, you’re shocked and a half that I didn’t get the green one. The thing is I love the color of the green element, but the green CR-V didn’t hold my heart as much, and I wasn’t really that thrilled with the beige interior. So since they had this on, I got it! Yeah! I’ve never had a new car before.

The inside is so nice.


I picked it up, and then picked up Emilie from school, as per usual. She loves it. Then I had to go get grandpa to take him to a doctor’s appointment. He thought it was very nice, so much easier to get in and out of than a normal car (which is what we were going for). I still miss my car, but I think this will help ease the pain (hehehe). Now I just have to wait for the crater lake license plates. Also there is a new Bones tonight, whoo hoo I love that show. It’s the simple things that really make me happy.

oh my yummy goodness. My dad hired me to take pictures for a condo project he is involved in. He wanted me to take shots at what is going to be the third, forth, and fifth floors from a lift so that people can get an idea of the view from their balconies. Um, okay! 1. I got to go up on lift 2. take pictures on the nicest fall day in history 3. I got to use this amazing 12-24mm lens. Oh heaven. Have you seen these things?

It’s a mess, try and ignore that, but it’s my whole studio; floor, ceiling, both walls, crazy. One more fun shot:


Those were right in front of the lens. Okay I need some one to take a picture of me taking a picture so you can get a good idea. The only bad thing is the lens is kinda a light hog (maximum opening is 4), and you can’t use an on camera flash because of the shadow, but I have the 600 speedlight, so it’s not a big problem for me. Now what I was "hired" for:


View to the north east.


View to the west.


View to the south east.
 

Mmmm. Oh and also my first time doing a portrait session (for the company website):


What do you think? No, please tell me. There was severe sunny overhead light so I opted to walk around a bit and took this in a shaded alley with my 50mm. I think it worked out well. Thoughts?

Now what to take pictures of before I have to give the wide angle lens back? Hmmm everything!
