October 31st - Spooky

This week's theme is "Spooky" in celebration of Halloween. I think this photo might fit - Chester is dressed up this year as an accident victim. Only problem is - it's real, not make believe. Yesterday he saw a deer or something over the back fence and he tore across the back yard at full speed, but didn't quite clear our kayaks which were laying on the lawn. The bow end of the kayak skewered him in the side and he had to go in for some surgery and stitches. This cut is about 4 inches (10 cm) long! If you want to see a close up of his wound, click the link below. Warning: Due to the graphic nature of the following image, viewer discretion is advised. You've been warned. Here it is.

October 30th - Brittany

This is Brittany who will be graduating at the end of this school year. We got some senior portraits of her at the fairgrounds and then down by the port docks. This was shot at the picnic shelter at Fairweather Park under some beautiful available light.

October 29th - X-Ray Screen

I was so impressed with the adjustments Lance made to his laptop screen, I thought I'd try it myself. So I did some searches on the internet for how to bump up the transparency on mine, but I think maybe I made my adjustments a bit too extreme...

October 28th - Les

Shannon's dad is staying with us for a few weeks. He is disabled and doesn't move very quickly so he couldn't run from my camera and strobes. Instead he was a really good sport and let me do some portrait practice on him while he shared some yarns about the good ol' days.

I really like this one too, so I decided to post 2 shots instead of just one...

October 27th - Salmon Sculpture

This is a sculpture carved out of translucent alabaster. It was created by local artist and attorney Bill Weissinger. Photo is lit with a single bare strobe behind the subject.

October 26th - Keyboard Again

Here's that laptop keyboard again. I did a shot similar to this once before, but I thought I'd do it again with the reflection on the screen this time. And show the whole keyboard instead of just a few of the keys. I guess I just really like this backlit keyboard...

October 25th - Stillness

Our theme for this week is "stillness". (Thanks, Eric), so at the end of the day, I looked out the window at my quiet little street. Not a whole lot going on other than a gentle rain. It seems pretty still out there tonight.
