The Photo Walk

Uncategorized


A real stress reliever for me, the photo walk, combines a bit of exercise, photographic exploration and for me the challenge of limiting myself to one theme and lens choice. I think of a subject to shoot and attempt to keep myself within those bounds. People that know me well are aware of my ability to become distracted and photograph in one small spot for an extended period of time!
Yesterday, I went on a photo walk through town to capture a few shots of the emerging spring flowers. I took my 18-70 f/3.5 lens and my close-up filters. (I’ve come to discover that the filters aren’t of the best quality and they make me want an f/1.4 lens) The following pics are a few of my favorites from the walk.

A busy spring

spring update

Spring is finally here and it is shaping up to be a great photography season. I’m quickly approaching my booking limit for weddings and there are no shortages in other areas of photo work. I’m really excited about this wedding season. I’ve got a ton of wonderful couples booked in a variety of amazing locations. Look for some selections from upcoming engagement shoots to be posted soon! I’m also planning on a shoot with a local band (and dear friends), Lady & the Tramps to update and add to their marketing materials. Needless to say, it is going to be a busy time.

Springtime Treat

After meeting with new clients about wedding photography, I had some time to kill before a second meeting in the city. It was a lovely evening and I decided to have a walk around and give Pittsburgh a portrait session. I wanted to shoot the city from an angle that was different from my usual haunts. I chose to have a walk across the 16th street bridge and see what I could see. I shot a while from the bridge and decided to venture downstream along a bike/walking trail. After nearly falling into the Allegheny while balanced on the edge of a sewer runover outlet I found a sweet patch of daffodils…. a sure sign of spring’s arrival. One more precarious near tumble later I called it a night and headed off to my meeting. Here are some of the images captured that evening.
