Obviously, still learning about non-ambient lighting… but TDS is about practice.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that I’ve forgotten this place.

Misty bribed me with dinner to come take photos of the kids near sundown.  I think the results came out pretty well.

No, I haven’t completely forgotten about this place …

Happy birthday, Lizabug!!! 

I was a NASA Space Flight Awareness Launch Honoree for STS-122. I didn’t get to see STS-122 actually launch, due to ECO sensor cutoff problems, but it was still a great trip.

Exposure Data: f/19, ISO 100, 1/500sec exposure. It was a bright, sunshiny day.

This is one of my five most favorite photos I’ve ever taken.  Totally worth sitting on the floor at the Radio Cafe and not being able to feel my legs for a couple of hours to get all the shots that I got that night.  Great concert, too.  There’s a freely available recording if you’re interested.

Matthew Perryman Jones wrote one of my top five albums of 2006, <i>Throwing Punches in the Dark</i>.

I am admittedly really happy with a number of photos I’ve taken of my buddy Andrew Osenga.  This was taken in Dyersburg, Tennessee at a Caedmon’s Call concert.  Andy ripped a couple killer guitar solos at this show.  He rocked my face right off.  I like the original photo, but it’s way too big to put here, so I cropped it down.

Data: f/2.5, 85mm, ISO 100, 1/20sec exposure.

Sandra McCracken is a joy to know.  I took this photo at 3rd & Lindsley Bar & Grill in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday night.  Sandra and her husband, Derek, co-headlined a show with Chelsey Scott opening.

Data: f/1.8, 85mm lens, 1/60sec exposure, ISO 800.
