Determination

What a sports filled weekend, 2 soccer games and football in the rain on Saturday. Baseball last night to round out the weekend.

I did make it to the Joe McNally Location Lighting seminar on Friday. It was upbeat and Joe covered many ways to use small and large flash units. Need to get the studio set to shoot some stock food this week.

Studio fun with Michael and Olivia

Redskins VS Rams

My good friend Shawn and his wife Amelia invited me to a Redskins game a couple weeks ago. We did the full tailgate experience, left at 8:30am, after Amelia put in a good word for us with the big man. We did bagels with smoked salmon, capers, red onion and cream cheese and Guiness for breakfast, Brats and peppers and onions and Yuengling for Lunch & Fajita's ala Smelson and a local micro brew for a snack before we went into the game. The pano is from his season tickets.

My Brother Jim and his Son

My brother and his family met me and the kids at Pumpkin Fest this weekend. Perfect Fall day on Sunday.

Break

I am taking a couple weeks off the blog, I might post here and there if I have something, but I need to get some work done on my website to promote my food photography better.
