December has arrived!

Greetings again, much has happened...

I have a new nephew, Conrad Edward was welcomed into the world November 13th [I like that date!].

I have finished and delivered the wedding photos to my friend of many years, Andy, she was very excited to see them [As any Bride usually is...].
Dan & Tegan


I look forward to seeing how she assembles them for an album....

I am also still spending as much time as I can in front of my computer, learning to use my new tablet. I have been picking up the magazine ImagineFX as a learning tool for a while, and the stylus of the tablet has helped out immeasurably in implementing the many things I have learned thus far...

I have started working this sketch into a colored image.












The hair thus far...

Busy With Photos & Weddings

I have been busy the past few weekends. My cousin got married[She's so young!], and I took a lot of photos. I also got to be the 'official' wedding photographer for a long & dear friend of mine [I hope to live up to her expectations]. Both were fun for me, and being a guest/photographer was interesting. I love to take pictures, but now have a bit more pressure to be exceptional instead of ordinary[Not that I have ever been anywhere near 'ordinary']. I am currently processing 700+ pictures, some of which will most likely not make the final cut, which may be more like 450-500. I'm picking up speed in tweaking the color/brightness on each photo, and learning even more as I go. Forcing myself to learn a familiar program which has many tools.

With any luck this may lead to a more steady side income. Any takers?

I've even had an inquiry for a Senior photo, which I am a bit excited about.

More soon...
