Baby in a Lightbox

Putting a baby in a lightbox may sound like a very unconventional way to photograph an infant less than 6 months old, but it worked perfectly. If that was not strange enough, we put little Dani in a salad bowl too. This is the age where babies are just starting to sit up for seconds at a time. The bowl gave her just enough support to sit up straight, and it will be a wonderful reminder of how tiny she is now. Our plan is to photograph her every few months for the first few years to record her growth.

Atlanta Photographer's Guild

I finally made it to the popular biweekly APG meetings where I met some very interesting and nice photographers. The models are provided and everyone gets a chance to practice their technique and learn from others. For more info, check out their Flickr Group.

Here are some photos that I took that night:

BugBand New Catalog for 2009

I gave BugBand Geraniol Insect Repellent a facelift during the redesign of their catalog and retail product line. The packaging and displays were made to emphasize the fact that the repellent is made from naturally-derived ingredients, not pesticides.

Mother's Day Baby Portrait of Dani

Michelle came by my office today wanting to get a quick photo to give all her "mothers" for Mother's Day. Caught off guard, what was I supposed to do? I ended up throwing the kid in a box of packing peanuts so she could sit up and making something out of nothing.

Sun N Fun 2009 Airshow

This year I was able to attend Sun N Fun Fly-In and Air Show in Lakeland Florida. My client and friend, Dan Ritter, flew us down in his Barron twin engine airplane. That turned a 7 hour drive into a 2 hour flight. I could get used to this.

I was there to take as many photos as possible of airplanes, especially war birds. I met up with an ace aviation photographer, Jo Hunter, who was kind enough to share some of her vast knowledge of aviation photography with me. She is definitely worth checking out at www.futurshox.net.

Happy Birthday Justinas

You only turn 29 a few times in your life, so my friend Justinas decided to celebrate his birthday in fine Russian fashion. It seems that he and many of his friends lived in countries that once were part of the USSR. They are glad to be in America, but they get nostalgic for their comrades, the crazy food and customs. I have to say, it was a lot of fun.

As I present, I made him a KGB photo ID. This might help him get out of speeding tickets or it could get him arrested. We'll just have to wait and see. Justinas is a gifted photographer too. You can check out his work at www.EuroFotoVideo.com.
