More Char…and a Movie Rant
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011
Wow, there must be a lot of Char Rose fans out there. I don’t follow all that closely how many people visit my blog, but I couldn’t help noticing that visitors almost doubled after I posted that last photo of Char. Since I’m not really saying anything of note here, it has to be Char […]
Statuesque
Monday, April 4th, 2011
Here’s another studio photo of Char Rose. I don’t shoot this sort of thing in the studio very often because, in general, I’m just not interested in this kind of classical figure study photography.

Softness
Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Fisheye lenses have very limited usefulness. I’ve often said that each photographer has only 6-10 fisheye photos that he or she can […]
All New Except for the Old
Saturday, January 29th, 2011
I finally got to do a shoot with my new Nikon D7000. And I ended up doing that shoot with a “new” model, at least new to me. Char Rose and I had been trying for a long time to set up a first “get acquainted” shoot, and finally managed to do that yesterday. Based on […]
