This is my neighbors 8 month old son. My neighbor wanted me to shoot her son for a Valentine’s gift for her husband.
I thought this was a unusual shot. While trying to keep this little guy happy and focused, I picked up his teething ring and shot through it.
I shot this in my home studio:
Studio Setup:
2 Calumet Genesis 200 Strobes
Calumet NOVA 32 softbox
45″ Calumet Shoot thru Umbrella
Pocket Wizard II
107″ White Seamless Backdrop
The 32″ Softbox was set low to the ground. The Umbrella was pointed at the backdrop for the High-Key.

The other day I woke up and I saw these sitting on top of the of the closed dumpster. I guess someones romantic night went horrible wrong.
After several days these roses were still on the dumpster, so I took a photo of them before I tossed them in the compost been. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

I cooked some Spicy BBQ Ribs in the slow cooker. It required for them to be in the cooker for 6-8 hours. If I would have left them in their for 8 hours, the meat would have been totally off the bone. As it was all you had to do is pick up the end and the meat slid off.

I really think I should have named this where’s Waldo. My wife and her sister went into San Francisco to see the Play Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre. I was there only to meet them for dinner.
I snapped this image as I saw my wife, she is the short blonde that is looking at me.

My wife is a 3/4 grade teacher. This term they are doing a study of the local indians that lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the things they do is create a piece of art from a “Oak Gall” or “Wasp Gall”. These were the best among and my wife asked me if I would photograph them.
