The Obvious

Maney Avenue

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:53 -0500

Here is another photo from last Friday, when my friend Keith and I went out to take photos during the snow storm. We were both soaked (and so was our equipment) and were driving home when we decided to make one last stop in the middle of the intersection between Main Street and Maney Avenue. We both took a couple of shots, and this is the last...

Frozen Field

This is the third photo from our recent snow storm in Murfreesbooro, TN. It's taken somewhere close to the Stones River Artillery Monument, right off the Murfreesboro Greenway.
Keith and I were driving around looking for a way to take photos of the iced trees and plants on the Greenway, and he pointed out the field that was right next to...

Untitled Snow

The second photo from the recent snow storm in Murfreesboro. Not as striking at the previous one, but I still like it ;). If you visit The Obvious on Monday, I will be posting one of my favorite photos in a long time... very unique and certainly different. And since I gave a hint on the Facebook Page, I will say that it's got a lot of pink...

Yesterday afternoon it started snowing in Murfreesboro, and as opposed to what we had a couple of weeks ago (which I called "dandruff storm"), this was much more like real snow. Needless to say that I spent the whole day driving around with a friend of mine (Keith).
This photo was taken right after the snow started, at the Murfreesboro...

The Girl With Golden Hair

Although "The Lip" is our youngest daughter's signature pose, here is Sonia practicing it during a short visit at the studio yesterday.
Lighting info for the interested: two SB900 flashes - one left through an octodome, one right through an umbrella, and three white reflectors for highlighting the shadow areas.
On a different matter, we...

Every now and then I get to enjoy a quick visit from my wife at the studio... and today she stopped by with David (our youngest child). I had just a couple of minutes to setup my flashes and softbox, and took a few dozen photos of him while he was in a good mood.
I know this photo is very similar to the one I posted not too long ago... but...

Green House, Window, and Cat

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:50 -0500

For about two weeks now, I have been walking to and from work (about 2.5 miles each way). Working on the computer on various projects has taken a toll on my weight, and since I cannot stand the thought of working out, I decided to do that which I did all my life while I was in Romania: walk. Walking does miracles for me on a psychological level,...

Murfreesboro Snow

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:27 -0500

Murfreesboro doesn't get much snow... not even chances of snow. It seems like we have more tornado warnings than snow alerts :).
This is a photo of the second day of snow that we had in Murfreesboro, which is also the second time we had snow in one year. I couldn't resist the rare occasion, so I took the afternoon off from the...

This is our youngest child, and our only boy - David Augustin. He was born sometime in September (20th?) of this year. This photo depicts him exactly as he is... quiet, content, and quick to smile at anything.
You can see the original photo here. The only things I did in post processing were to lighten the photo, adjust the color balance, and...
