Here is a very small, happy, yellow taste of the trip. Much more to come soon. :)

I was in a sea of teenagers (about 100 to be exact) and was asked to capture photobooth-type photos for her dance party. We had a beautiful backdrop of pink and purple stripes and boy, did these kids get into it (especially the boys)! Afterwards, they got pumped up on sugar and hit the dance floor. I wish I had had one of these bashes when I turned 13!! It was a lot of fun. :)

Happy Birthday, Bryn!

This one was PH 171 – The Digital Darkroom. In this course, we learned (mainly) all about DAM (Digital Asset Management) software through Adobe Lightroom. Throughout the semester, were were given multiple assignments, and through them I found a love of photographing flowers.

But shooting flowers just to shoot flowers was not enough. I wanted to make them different  - unique. So, I took my newly developed skills and created this set, using only Lightroom and submitted it as my final for the class. I hope you like it. It was a wonderful project. I feel I truly blossomed. :)

It was a beautiful autumn day full of hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin picking, and even pumpkin slingshotting? We had a blast!

The colors are so wonderful in the Fall, aren’t they?!

Enjoy!

I was able to capture a few moments with my camera in between drinks. The colors of the lighting was just as bright and bold as James himself. James Jackson IS alive and well…. and beautful.

I hope you like.

Fish sticks, tater tots,
candy bars, baloney.
Ice cream, bubble gum,
cheesy macaroni.
This is all I ever eat.
Don’t knock it till you try it.
I haven’t lost a single pound,
but still I love my diet.

In this show, James will present “a concert of gender defying songs, ramblings from the pages of his diary, and an evening like no other. There will be worship, there will be fire, there will be living!”

Doors: 9:00pm/Show: 9:30pm and tickets are only $10.00. For more information and to reserve a ticket, visit DROMNYC. I guarantee that it will be a wonderful night!

Here are a few of my favorite images from my shoot with James.

This summer, my sister got married! Here are just a few shots from that special day. Even though I was not officially her photographer, she asked me if I would bring along my camera and snap a few shots. Here are some of those images.

Congratulations again Cristie and David!
