My Cute

As I delve further into the whole prospect of paid photography, I have been collecting all kinds of knowledge from all kinds of sources. Books, publications, websites, basically anything that will feed my hunger for more information. As most of you know, I have a really hard time sitting still and focusing on one thing at a time. If I'm not doing something to expand on a skill or on my existing knowledge base, I get bored. This whole idea of wedding photography is quenching my desire for more knowledge.

I know, she won't have a wedding for a while. Not for a long while if I have anything to say about it. Hence, this is far from a wedding picture, but I thought it was a decent picture, especially given it was taken with my el-cheapo stock Canon lens that came with the camera. Imagine what I could do with an unlimited budget!!! Anyway, this was at the family reunion as Jade was sitting quietly on a bale of straw waiting for the next hay ride.

I thought this one was pretty cute, too. So to all of you out there (I think you're out there), put the word out... anyone who needs an event photographed (not only a wedding), I am needing some "stock" pictures to start up a portfolio. I did get a new toy today. My first semi-pro lens. That was one of the things I convinced Brian would really improve my documentation of his fireworks shows. That really is the case, as this is a super big wide angle lens. What makes it cool is that it doesn't "distort" much like some wide angle lenses do. I can't wait to get some shots with it. Keep checking back for more of my creative productions!
