Found her in passing the other day. While trying to understand what happened to her it dawned on me that I never really thought about the fact that birds die just like everything else.

They have always seemed ethereal to me, and free, like death himself could never catch them. Perhaps that perception is fueled by the fact that I very rarely see dead birds lying around. Whatever the cause of this line of thinking is for me is really no matter. The point is more about what it brought to mind upon further contemplation:

That even the freest of us can fall.

and also

Does anyone have a parachute for sale?

Well, I said I would and here they are!

Our lovely model from last week’s post has a few more images I’d like to show you so let’s get right down to business.

I’m working on a few more bookings, and there are a few commercial shoots coming up in early August. I might not be able to post those images right away, but I might be able to ninja some shots of the shoot while it’s in progress. Either way, you know I’ll do my best to keep you all updated.

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a safe, fun Fourth of July.

Life is busy as ever over here. I’ve been so swamped with photo and design work I’ve barely had time to think about writing, much less do it.

Google Alerts has become my new best friend, every day I get an email telling me what new stuff google has found with whatever search term I decide. Naturally, I decided that my own name would be the first thing I wanted to know about. Since I’ve started using this service, I’ve discovered that there are a hell of a lot of people that have my name. I did find something cool though.

I was interviewed several months back about my use of flickr.com for photography. The author didn’t know if the article was going to be published or not, so I just forgot about it. Well, it did get published and google let me know. How cool is that?

In other news, another out of state model made the long trek to shoot with me. Although we only shot for about an hour she was an all-star and we got a ton of great shots in that short amount of time.

There are several more images, but I can’t decide on my favorites yet…so you’ll have to wait a bit for the rest.

Hope you are all doing well!
