Photo Shoot at Forest Park

My husband is slowing turning out to be a good sport...I'm continually wanting him to be a subject.  Except for the glasses (he likes his glasses) that I couldn't get him to remove, these shots turned out great.  And, yeah, maybe even the ones with the glasses are kind of cool. 








Looking For Barns

Beki and I did a drive around some of the rural areas trying to find old barns to photograph.  We didn't have as much luck as I had hoped, but we discovered a couple along the way.  It was fun spending the day together.  We walked through an old cemetary.  I know some may say a little creepy, but I think they are intriguing and Beki thought it fascinating how old some of the tombstones were.

Mini Photo Shoot at the Gardens

John and I went for a walk out at the Botanical Gardens.  I had to talk him into a couple shots.  He's not one for getting pictures taken...go figure, he's married to a photographer.

Lesson in Digital Art

I just had to share Beki's first lesson in digital composition.  She took the photo and decided what she wanted in it.  She also decided how to layer the textures and what kind of lighting to give it.  I thought it turned out beautiful and tells a story.  Maybe there is something that she will follow in my footsteps in.  Seems my kids didn't take much after me in the "wanting to create side" of things.  There's still hope! 

I hope she doesn't mind, but I thought a good name might be..

After the Harvest

Sure beats "Birds and Tree", doesn't it Beki?  Haha!
