This precious little one came in for headshots recently… absolute doll to work with, takes instructions amazingly well. Producers out there should hire this one.

This is Melissa, a talented young lady who came to me for headshots recently. Great kid.. watch for this one in the future.
Photography info: Natural light, open shade, with a Vivtar 285HV in a brolly box to camera left for fill. Strobist style.
Was shooting at Strokers Dallas with a photography group and I got to talking to a couple of the customers. This bike belonged to this guy’s wife and he asked if I’d do a shot of it for her, too… he rolled it into the perfect spot where I could set up my strobes to light the motorcycle and the sunlight coming in the skylight was perfectly spotlighting the trailer in the background.
I will probably share more of this as the week continues.
Snow Days
Feb 16
Our crazy winter weather this season continued last week. I’ve lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for 25 winters now and its rare for us to have more than 2 winter events (ice or snow) in a season. Snowfall itself is rare, usually only falling after a sheet of ice falls first – and even then, its only a dusting – maybe as much as an inch. The last real snow (before this season) we had was on Valentine’s Day in 2004 – the same year as The Fish Creek Project where we had 3 or 4 inches.
I’ve lost count of how many times its snowed .. real snow, not ice .. this season. Last Thursday, we had 9 1/2 inches in one day. The total for the storm (Thursday into Friday morning) was 12 inches. Both numbers shattered previous records, making the totals the highest ever recorded for a single day and a single storm. I hear tell we are only a little bit shy of an all time winter record as well.
Of course, you want to see pictures… that’s why you’re here. All of these except the Fish Creek Trail were done in the morning after it had been snowing for only 5 hours. I had no idea at the time how much we were going to get before it was over. The Fish Creek Trail image was done after 12 hours of snow.
This one was also shot in the morning. I almost didn’t shoot it because I had made an image of the same scene in 2004, but I’m glad I did. The 2010 shot is first, followed by the 2004 shot. Its kind of cool to compare….
