Just the ramblings and musings from a Photographer and Artist
I had the greatest pleasure yesterday of shooting a Senior Portrait Session with the lovely Amanda, and with her Mom Linda!
A couple of weeks previously, we had decided upon using Holley Canal Park and Falls for our venue, and set the date. Weather can be a huge factor with these outdoor sessions, and it seems like whenever you plan something like this, Mother Nature derives pleasure in ruining things. But as it turned out – the day was gorgeous!

[Read more…]Last Sunday marked the end of the 2019 Mariah Meadows Horse Show Season. Yes, other shows do continue on through out the entire year at various locations, but for me, after shooting through the winter months for one season, I decided to take winters off for a break from it all.

[Read more…]I’ve been messing around with video hosting services as of late. Self hosting on Zenfolio, Youtube, and Vimeo.
The self hosted solution would be ideal, simple because I’m already paying for the service to host my photos. The problem there however, it that the interface is a bit wonky – I.E. I don’t like it!

Something that I have discovered about myself when it comes to nude photography, is just how much of it I’m not really fond of. All to often I see photos that, to me, don’t really offer the viewer much – other than a naked female. In other words, if the model had been fully clothed, the photo wouldn’t be much of anything to look at.
I realize that art is extremely subjective, and one person’s masterpiece, is just another photo to someone else. In other words – “to each their own”
During my short time on MeWe, I have joined a few photography groups, and have started sharing some of my work. MeWe really is a great social network, especially for those of us who are photography oriented, and it has allowed me to meet some really great people – photographers and models – during my short time there!
A couple of the photography groups that I am a member of, “IFD MeWe”, and “IFD Non-Nude Model Photography” were created by a young lady, and model, Jenifer Sutter.
This past Saturday (Sept 22nd) marked the successful conclusion of the 2018 Mariah Meadows Fun Show series season. Technically, there is still one more show to go – the awards / fun game show, where they present the awards for this seasons winners, plus a series of “just for fun” patterns for the riders to compete in. Hence the use of the words “sort of” in the title. 😊
[Read more…]Modeling isn’t extraordinarily difficult, doesn’t require a vast wardrobe, and it is a lot of fun! You get to try something different and new, and you acquire a bunch of new, professional, photos of yourself – and you become featured in my websites! 😁
