Christian and Brittany were wed at The Aerie at Eagle Landing Saturday. While the day started out with gray skies by the time the ceremony started the skies had cleared and the sun was almost as radiant as the bride. Here is a brief sample.
OK, the kids want to try out son Mark’s new Canon 40D so I tagged along. Son Mark has also been reading about shooting with one light. (If you don’t count the sun, son). At any rate, between son and daughter they have a lovely group of targets….
The Nutter Foundation hosted Dozer Day again this year. And the skies cleared, the sun popped out, and it got blistering hot. But what fun - and all for a good cause. The kids were just so excited to get behind the controls of a big piece of machinery the could barely contain themselves. Great fun, fun day. More can be seen at Norwood Photos.
Every once in a while I haul the camera gear out (OK the camera gear is always out) and shoot some flowers around the house. I don’t do it too often because I generally am not happy with the images I get. This one I like. It was in a bunch of Mother’s Day flowers our darling daughter brought over for her mother.
I was asked to take some pictures for the Greater Portland Baptist Church Teen Banquet again this year. They have a great bunch of teens there and it’s always a fun night. The teens there are an exceptional bunch.
This year we went with a simple black background and ended up with some classic images I think. I sure hope they enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Here is an example of the classy, intelligent, attractive young ladies that were there. The dresses took on a wonderful Victorian look.
And one of the couples.
All the images can be viewed on my photo site - Norwood Photos
A couple of us photographers got together today and did some practice and experimental shooting. The models we hired were Grandchildren. What a patient bunch of troopers they were too. Some of the shots worked well…
Some didn’t -
And some should probably be left in the delete bucket…
My lovely, talented wife has just added to her array of art awards and ribbons with a 1st place blue ribbon in the Gresham, Oregon Eleventh Annual Juried Art Exhibition. The painting, The Anointing, can be seen during the remainder of the show at The City of Gresham Visual Arts Gallery, 1330 NW Eastman Pkwy, Gresham, Oregon between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Weekdays until May 29th 2008.
One of our favorite places to walk and explore is Catherine Creek, about 5 miles east of Bingen, Washington. Not only is it a great place to wander in the wild (well, semi-wild) but it is just on the dry side by a bit (doesn’t get any where near as much rain as Vancouver). On the way out on Highway 14 we had to pass Cape Horn, another great place to just look. The clouds here will give you an idea of the weather we had at the start of the day. It was drier at Catherine Creek.
Photography requires that you be constantly aware of the background. Strange things happen when your focus comes up to the subject and no further….nuff said.
