Christmas Pumpkin carving
This is my FIRST picture of 2012, and I`ve decided I`m going to do a project 365. This means I will have to take a different photo of something different each day.
I can take more than one photo each day but only one is allowed from a day, meaning I have to go out each day and think.

words on Roof
Every time it snows out, this house in the neighborhood has letters appear on it. It usually spells out S H U R K.
Don`t know what a shurk is?
bum hole
Back alley graffiti .
One of my favorite pastimes is walking down back alleys to see what I can see. And the dog loves this pastime too! :-)

Mother of the Bride
I figured since I would already be at the wedding, and would already be carrying my "Good" camera (the DSLR CANON) that I would practice something that I wanted to try, it`s called a second shooter.
For a wedding, a photographer is hired as usual to get "THE" shots,( you know, the ones that everyone insists on), well the second hired photographer can look for other great shots, freeing up the main photographer to get even BETTER shots of the main players.
The second shooter gets, well, the secondary shots. At this wedding I tried to play that role but I wish I had asserted myself more when getting the shots. I have so many could be great shots with someones back of head in the shot. I needed to be able to walk around freely.
Communication on this shoot was horrible, but then I didn`t press anything either because I was not actualy hired or formally asked to shoot anything until JUST before the wedding. And then that threw me too, being asked to shoot something that soon I realized I had no time to research anything and weather also threw a sudden storm at us that I think messed up getting people organized and I`m sure this is all just part of the job.
I would LOVE to try this again as a hired pro. I would have better access and freedoms than that of a guest just pretending to shoot a wedding.....lol.

Siamese Connection
Saw this out and about, I always carry a camera or 2 or 3 sometimes 4 cameras with me lol.... this one was a Point and Shoot Canon camera. Not my favorite camera.
I tried to keep my shadow out of the shot and not pay attention to the store worker starring at me right beside this. lol. I saw him look over to try and figure out what I was taking a picture of.

Photo was taken summer of 2011 at a wedding. I was asked to take some pics, this one was for me though.
After taking these pictures at the wedding I realized I like the style of "second shooter" at a wedding, so I am researching and learning more so I may attempt this again I hope!
