HAT TRICK! NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest

WooHoo!!! I cleaned up in the Illustration category for December’s NPPA: Monthly News Clip Contest.
mini Foodfolio

Food is surprisingly a challenging subject to photograph. Well, it is if you wanna keep your chops sharp. I’ve learned a bunch of tricks when it’s food shoot season. Natural light, as usual, can be your friend. That’s what I used with the Iron Bridge photos. A dark table and gorgeous, window-lit fall-off, gave an [...]
Light the Emotion!

Ben Bender linked to an article on Emotional Lighting when he commented on my recent post, Shoot the Emotion!
So, since I love to use lighting, I think it’s worth discussing.
Now, this may not be the best photo to describe emotional lighting, buuuut, it’s by far the most convenient. I shot it Saturday.

His New Heart, Part 2.

Halloween.
Dressed like a cheerleader, using his sister’s River Hill pom-pom uniform, Noah Thyberg, 11, goes trick-or-treating with more than a dozen friends around the River Hill neighborhood Saturday, October 31, 2009. The mask isn’t part of his costume, it’s a post-heart transplant operation preventative measure.
The written story is here and here is Part 1.
I knew, [...]
His New Heart, Part 1.
