| Portraits: Donna and Sue |

|
8/1/04: I went down to Mom and Donna's house for a photoshoot. It was fun, and it was a pretty nice day, sunny but not too hot.
I find that, more often than not, people like really calm smiley pictures of themselves and they have problems with anything that shows personality. My theory is that they never get to see themselves that way. Really you'd have to spend your entire life in front of mirror in order to. But often their friends and family will prefer the shots that show more personality. Because of course they are familiar with it.
I really like getting more personal shots of people. So, as much as possible, I will be focusing on that in the future. And hopefully I'll be able to strike a balance where I can make myself happy as well as the people I'm taking pictures of. |

I find him to be very sweet and generous. A pleasure to read, and listen to. |

Here are some portraits that I took of Michael back on Feb. 1st. He was convinced then that he wanted to cut all his hair off before his birthday and so I squeezed in this second shoot, there are some lovely pictures here, but since it was only a week after the other one, I hadn't wanted to post them immediately. Now, I need to do another shoot with him and his short hair. We just have random snapshots so far. |

| Sept. trip to the zoo |

Went to the zoo a couple weeks ago with my Mom and Grandma. We went first thing in the morning and I saw a lot more animals then I usually do, in the afternoon. I'll have to remember this. It seems they get fed first thing and last thing during the zoos open hours and so they are more active then. In between they are more likely to be napping. |

The joys of having a sunset wedding at the beach even in Summer:

Once it gets dark, it gets really dark
