This photo:
I saw this photo while looking at entries to the diyphotography.net/portrait-professional-8-give-away. The photo was stuck in my head all day. I loved the curves and simplicity. I don't like my version of it as much as because I am scruffy faced guy, unlike the subject in the original photo.

One reason that I've taken photos with black background for the first two weeks is because nothing in my house works as a good backdrop for photos. I'll have to find some way to work around that.

I submitted my favorite portrait to the contest.

This week:
Went to the beach with my good friend Lisa. I got some really amazing photos that I'm excited to have time to edit and upload. I also went to see Jason Webley play his accordian at WOW Hall. The show was far better than I could've hoped. Partially because I was accompanied by lovley girl who I hope to see more of in the future. :)

I've been in touch with a local wedding photographer, Sherrlyn Borkgren, for the past month about being her assistant. I'm doing it for free to get an idea how real wedding photography works. We had a meeting today and confirmed that I'll be helping her with two weddings at the end of August. If all goes well, she'll hire me to be her assistant on all the weddings she does. It'd be nice to pay off all this camera gear I buy!

Peaked at #2 in explore for August 8th, 2008! What the heck! I didn't expect that!

Strobist: One SB-28 right behind my head. 1/8 power.

Frozen Leaves shawl in Colourmart 2/28NM laceweight cashmere/silk/merino blend

knitted for 10 shawls in 2010 and the Colourmart Lovers contest.

I am seeking a bride to gift this to. Let me know if you know somebody who would like to wear this on their special day

the details are here:

ravel.me/plumbum/fl

I'd like the shawl to go to a Cinderella bride if possible - somebody who otherwise would not have somehting pretty to wear - and I would like the person who claims it to make a donation to p/hop (or MSF directly) when they receive (and are happy with) the shawl

www.p-hop.co.uk/

Another "condition" is that I would like a photo of the happy bride with the shawl - for my blog

Applications, with wedding date, and some details of why the bride should have the shawl, will be adjudicated in some manner that I have yet to determine...
