It has been a busy last couple of weeks.
I will be posting images shortly from the party. It is late, I need so try and get some beauty rest before the family gathering on Saturday.
I meet with Randy at the Pros and the are going to have me on as a photographer on a trail basis! I have to do some second shootings for a few wedding and them I will be on my own!
Most people complain that today's photographers "cheat" by using photoshop. I would have to disagree. With photoshop you can adjust contrast, levels, burn and dodge without wasting chemical, paper and time. People have always played with their work. Ansel Adams moonrise hernandez new mexico was one of his most corrected image. It took him untold amount of time to "correct" that image.
Another image that I saw of Admas was on a valley in the Rockies. (Sorry I do not remeber the name of the print but I saw it at the MFA in 2006) He was UNHAPPY that the beautiful valley had a parking lot so he took it out. If you did that in photoshop today people would get all upset.
Outdoor Photographer stated some of the same things in this article

Can you find me? I am on the right side of the picture!
This is one of my images from Sunday. I just love the new 50 mm 1.8 lens! Yes, you cannon folk, they make the same lens for you too. It was the best $110 lens that your money can buy.
After a long hard day of work, I grabbed my camera and went into Boston to take pictures to help clear my head. It did wonders! It was one of the first times I took out my 50 mm lens out and loved it. It was hard to use a fixed focal lens at first but it was kind of fun after a while.
