Wedding 1

2005-08-01T12:34:00.000-05:00

I shot my first full-fledged wedding this weekend. I loved this cake topper. I converted the picture to sepia tone in photoshop to give it a little more character.

Chasing Hummingbirds

2005-07-26T21:24:00.000-05:00

Hummingbirds are even more difficult to shoot than the bumblebee was. It took about 8 or 10 shots to get a couple decent ones.

Champagne Anyone?

2005-07-07T08:52:00.000-05:00

I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend. Didn't take too many pictures; I didn't want to get in the way of the guy they were paying to take pictures. This turned out to be on of my favorites from the evening.

Summertime Fun

2005-07-01T22:55:00.000-05:00

He looks like he's having fun. Although he loves to play in the water, he's not quite sure what to think of the sprinkler. Instead of jumping through it like I did as a kid, he tends to run away from the water.

Rav

2005-05-24T21:07:00.000-05:00

Shot this at the Renaissance Faire at the Castle of Muskogee. This was my second year to go to the festival, and this guy is one of my favorite characters. I caught this one as he turned his head toward me. The next one I shot, he noticed the camera and really started posing.

Bumble Bee

2005-05-02T21:28:00.000-05:00

This was the hardest shot I have ever taken. It took about fifteen minutes to get this one shot. Everytime I would get focused in, the bee would fly off and I would have to start again. It was also taken at Honor Heights Park in Muskogee. This was also the first print I made in the darkroom.
This one was taken with a Canon EOS 35mm Camera.

Colors That Don't Run

2005-05-02T21:26:00.000-05:00

This is another shot from my portfolio. The flag had a very strong backlight with the afternoon sun, which washed out the background and gave the flag a brighter tint. This was taken outside the administration building of Northeastern State University.
This one was taken with a Canon EOS 35mm Camera.

B&W Tulips

2005-05-02T21:24:00.000-05:00

I shot this shot with my sister-in-law's film camera. I had to shoot black&white 35mm for my class and then make my own prints...This shot from Honor Heights is one that I used in my portfolio.

Chillin'

2005-04-19T22:50:00.000-05:00

As I was walking around the OU Campus (I'm still a Cowboy fan...I was there for a convention) this shot just caught my eye. The statue is half-way sunk into the ground. I thought it was pretty cool, so I took a picture.

Rejuvenation

2005-04-19T22:47:00.000-05:00

I was impressed walking around the campus. I hadn't been to OU in about 10 years, and the last time I was there it looked like it was about to fall down. They've really done a lot of work...I guess having a National Championship Football team is incentive enough to fix up the campus.

2005-04-14T12:02:00.000-05:00

I went and saw Cody Canada & Stoney LaRue do an acoustic show at the Wormy Dog in OKC last night. They played from 9:30 to 1:45 and put on a great show. This shot is of Cody Canada that I took after I just walked backstage. It's amazing what you can get away with when you are carrying around a nice camera.
