I have been so intrigued by all aspects of photography lately. I thoroughly enjoy being creative and photography is my latest outlet for that. Recently, I offered some co-workers an opportunity to have their photos made with their kids, families, significant others, etc. I told them I would do it for free and if the prints were worth anything, they would only have to pay for the prints.
So, the past two weekends I have been doing these photo shoots. The first two shoots I did last weekend and the first one today were pretty quick and a bit sporadic. There really wasn’t any planning on my part for the poses, lighting, etc. I mean, come on, I am new at this and I have a lot to learn. Please also keep in mind that the two shoots I did today were done in 40° weather with either a light drizzle or steady rain. Not the best shooting conditions I can assure you.
So, here are some photos and some links to the shoots I have done over the past two weekends. I will start with the last one I did today, which I feel turned out pretty well. And, here goes…
Here’s a link to the full photo shoot the above images were pulled from.
The first shoot I did today was very cold and wet. We didn’t spend much time shooting but did come up with a few that were noteworthy (in my opinion). I am scheduling another shoot with this family since we didn’t get to shoot very long. Here are some pictures from that shoot:
A link to today’s first shoot is here.
Last weekend I did two shoots, also. Here are some photos and links from those shoots:
And, here is a link to this family’s shoot for all to see.
And, the last shoot I did last Saturday:
This couple’s full shoot can be seen here.
So, I’m learning, having a good time, and only wasting an hour or two of other people’s time. Not bad!
In other news, I dropped and watched my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens roll down the concrete embankment of the bridge we were shooting under for the last shoot of today (the first one listed here), through a mud puddle, and under a [parked] car . So far, it appears to still be in working order and no serious damage to the glass. There is a little squiggle in one of the glass elements within the lens but I haven’t seen it produce any artifacts in my photos. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Until next time…

Your photography is coming along nicely. I’m sorry to hear about the lens escapade. I’m glad to hear that everything seems to be okay so far!

Wow Jeff, I didn’t know you were such a great photographer too. Very nice, I should’ve had you shoot some pics of us @ TechMecca. Thanks for coming to my session and let’s stay in touch!
On another semi-work related note, what’s your email address again. I can’t find the card I got from you and want to send you an invite for Banktastic.com. Oops. Just email me. Thanks!

Take care,
