Erin Mantz Portrait

Here is Erin's Bio from her latest blog with Hybrid Mom.

Erin Mantz is a Washington, D.C. based writer and mom to two adventurous boys ages 7 and 3. A firm believer in moms having a life and saving their sanity, she frequently writes about parenting issues and work/life balance with a sense of humor and optimism. She serves as Editor-at-Large for Washington Parent Magazine and has appeared on NBC News 4 in Washington, DC. In addition to writing for Hybrid Mom, her work has appeared in Tango Magazine, Bethesda Magazine and Washington Woman. Her first book, Dads, Teach Your Child 2-6 About Computers, will be published in summer of 2008 by WonderDads Publishing. Visit her site at www.erinmantz.com.

Erin is a good friend of the family, and we are "bus stop buddies" with our sons. It was a great opportunity for me to be able to take a portrait of her. Thanks Erin. Go see her new blog at Hybrid Mom. She does share blog space with a couple other moms, so have a look or point your favorite mom there.

Strobist

My first attempt at manual strobe lighting - 1 sb800 shot into a white umbrella on the left, fill on the right, triggered with Elinchrome Skyport. The "are you done yet" look - Olivia

Also Weekly Photo Tips is requesting images for memorial day of veterans. He used a image that I made for Geographic Compositon. Speaking of Geographic Composition, Jason just posted the latest theme "Yellow".
