10.30.09 - Minnow

Time for a little bit of local scenery.

I thought it was hilarious that this weather-worn, overturned canoe was named the S.S. Minnow.  Someone's got a sense of humor!  (or HUMOUR, for my Canadian friend!)

10.29.09 - Orangyna T-shirt Product Shoot

10.29.09 - Orangyna T-shirt Product Shoot

Took a quick trip downtown to do some product shots of my friend Alex's t-shirts that she's going to sell on Etsy.

After we got done with the "serious" shots, she decided she wanted some shots on the ground. Far be it from me to disagree.

Oh, and for those who are curious, "Orangyna" is the name she goes by when skating for roller derby.

Talk about UNLUCKY!

I had another model shoot this afternoon and photographed a 4+ hour-long doubleheader roller derby bout tonight.

In between, I saw and shot this. No particular reason other than it caught my eye.

10.15.09 - Richmond, Virginia Is For Lovers

10.15.09 - Richmond, Virginia Is For Lovers

Okay, so I'm again behind putting up my vacation shots. I'll get to them; I promise!!

Richmond is such a picturesque city in my opinion, but it's the lesser-known areas such as the back alleys and hidden-away spots that draw my attention. This alley in particular is a popular spot among local "urban artists" as a place to showcase their abilities or simply let their creative spirit run wild.

I have submitted this to another site, dpchallenge.com, for their "Your Corner of the World III" challenge. Voting will be held 10/21-10/27. Unfortunately I cannot unhide the image on that site until voting begins.

I'm BAAAaaaaack!

Okay, so I've been gone awhile, but it was for a good reason. I spent 9 days driving across the southwestern part of the United States along Historic Route 66 and Interstate 40, from Amarillo, TX to Los Angeles, CA.

I'm going to start putting up some photos from this amazing trip. My goal is to put up one post a day's worth of pictures, one day for each day of the trip, for a week. The trick will be to see how well I get them all into single posts per day.
