A mini (very mini) trip to Duluth where I haven’t been for years.  It was a good reminder to go more often.

This was a quick shot.  Standing under the bridge…not my favorite thing to do.

I’ll admit it, I’m kind of a shoot up the tree addict.

Long exposure with the very handy homemade rock tripod.  Yes, I did have to straighten it in photoshop.  The lake was AMAZING that night, wonderfully calm.

I’m excited to announce my 2011 Senior Model - representing Western/Northern Wisconsin.   For the juniors in this area, be sure to check out my fan page here  - Facebook - to keep up with specials and get notifications on when I’ll be offering these limited edition sessions.

I also have a couple opportunities for senior models in the Twin Cities area.  If you know of any high school juniors who may be interested, please pass along my information!  Have an amazing weekend. It looks like we’ll be able to enjoy a few rain free/wind free days!

A 50mm lens for portraits is amazing.  The clarity, the color and the tack sharp focus. Along with some pretty cool bokeh and photos that are as the human eye sees.  Mine had some focus issues and I just got it back so I had to play.

50mm 1.4

But I still love my 24-70mm when I need a little…different perspective.
