Kyra

Remember this girl? Well I usually go adventuring with her, but in the middle of January in Ohio, the weather isn't that great this time of year. It was about 5 degrees outside with some wind. Not your perfect picture weather, right? Well, that didn't stop us! Even though it was about 5 degrees out in the middle of the day when the suns all weird and stuff, we went to the covered bridge and took a few head shots for Kyra's camp that she will be counseling over the summer. She was so stunning and so ready for these pictures, we were done in about 10 minutes. Talk about fast! Well here's a few that I edited just so she could send them in for her profile.

So these pictures were taken in the very same place, just zoomed a little bit, but silly me forgot to edit out the red graffiti on the bottom picture. All well, it adds character!

The Thompson House

Last night I thought it would be fun to be adventurous and see an old friend's band. Sure they were going to be playing with a bunch of other bands, but all well. One of the bands happened to be one of my favorites, City Lights. Never heard of them, well here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNmm6Xug-vY  I actually didn't even get to hear them because it was late and we had an hour to drive home (the show was in Covington, Kentucky). But we stayed for four bands and they were all really good and loud.

I only edited a few pictures because I want to spend my good time editing them for my portfolio. But last night's show was the first time I shot live in over a year! How crazy is that? I think I did a pretty good job for taking a break of live stuff and I'm happy with the work I have. Sure my camera focused on the microphones instead of the faces or the cymbals instead of the drummers, but this is still a learning experience for me. I can say that I feel like I am getting better at live shots and improving at every session I have. Without further ado, here are some of the shots from last night!
