Early tomorrow morning I head out for Nashville, Tennessee again. A buddy of mine who lives in the area are going to attend a Model Mayhem “Meet & Greet” type gig tomorrow afternoon and do a little shooting. Then, on Sunday we’re going to be shooting about 8 models in a studio type setup. It’s a pretty good clip to Nashville, Tennessee from Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas but it will be well worth it. I hope to come back with some knowledge in my pocket from the “meet & greet” and some spectacular photos to share with you all as well from the shoot(s).

I haven’t posted in a while but I hope everyone is having a wonderful new year. I hope you’re off to a great start and that things continue in the positive for you and yours from this point forward. I really feel some big things are going to transpire related to my photographic work this year. I also think some things are going to change for me personally, for the better of course! I think it’s fair to say that 2010 is our year!

Stay tuned for more posts and photos. Soon, yes soon, I will have more than a blog up and you’ll be able to see more of my recent work. I’ve been working on my web site since the end of August 2008 and still don’t have it up… Can you say “busy”?! But, if you’ll be patient with me, I promise that the new site will be up soon as well as my promised Model Discovery site which will allow you to put your name in the hat to work with me on future projects.

Big things coming! Remember, 2010 is –OUR– year!

Until next time…

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to shoot with Anni Bishop, a young lady I had previously worked with for Appeal Magazine. I shot Anni on one of my seamless backgrounds that I haven’t had the opportunity to use yet. I don’t normally shoot in a “studio” environment as I prefer to shoot on location, out in the field, or whatever you want to call “outdoors and/or not against a backdrop“. I like creating a scene or image rather than just a photo of an individual on a plain backdrop.

But, yesterday may have changed my mind, if only a little bit. Maybe “changed my mind” isn’t the correct way to phrase it, but it has at least given me the confidence to at least shoot in a studio environment if the need arises. I am very happy with my results from shooting on the seamless, as well as the performance by Anni throughout the shoot.

I’ve been out of the game for a while lately, or so it may seem. In reality, I’m actually playing a different game and started on September 1st of 2009. I’ve reinvented myself. Not only as a person, but also in the way I approach my creative outlet that most call “photography”. While my outlet may be called or thought of as “photography” to some, to me it is yet another means of artistic expression for me. A means of internal expression and relaxation, if you will.

I shut down my Web site in the latter part of August, 2009. I pulled my portfolio, pricing, services offered, and my contact information. I began turning down potential clients. I was in the process of being repurposed internally which also meant putting things on hold externally. To put it bluntly, I shut the doors on my photography “business”.
