Laura, my fiance’s good friend and my pal too, needed a few new head shots for her portfolio and asked me to photograph her this past weekend. We went out on Sunday morning and hit a few different locations and these turned out really nice. Plus, she was a good model to work with and her personality was easily captured.
I’ve wanted to make some pictures from this area before, but I haven’t had the chance until this morning. This is the Pennybacker bridge or aka the Austin 360 bridge, as it spans part of Lake Travis coming into town on highway 360. I want to go back and photograph it at night because there are no lights on the bridge and it looks very nice moonlight with the cars going across.
I was glad that I woke up early today on my day off and rode the motorcycle up to this cool spot. The tree image is from the viewpoint of the bridge photo as well.
And here it is at night:
Here is a photo essay of my trip to Portland, Maine this past weekend. I went to photograph a wedding, and these are the images from trekking around the city the day before the main event. It was over-cast and foggy much of the time I was there, but I like the way these images turned out with the soft light.
This is the view from my hotel window on the ninth floor. It looked like this every morning.
This a plate of apple fritters and a mimosa served for brunch after the rehearsal for the wedding Saturday morning. I also had a delicious spinach and goat cheese frittata.
All the rest of the images are from walking around and shooting the daily happenings of Memorial Day weekend in Portland.
And lastly, this is a view of the hotel I stayed in, the Eastland in downtown Portland. The circle is marking my room.
I’m in Portland, Maine for the Memorial Day weekend shooting the wedding of one of my former professors. It’s a nice change of pace, and it’s nice being on the coast. I love the east coast, and being able to have the local fare of sea food and brew I’m having a very nice time.
Here’s how far I am from home: More than 2,000 miles
More images to come!
I’ve wanted to put some of my wedding photography up here for some time now, and finally I’ve gotten to it. These are some shots from some weddings that I’ve shot from this summer and last. Every party is different, and I have to say that each one that I shoot I learn something new and can put to use a new technique or solution to a problem. This is the point I think, and I never want to stop feeling that there is always something to gain from new experiences.
So take a look!
Cheers!
