2013 Highlights in Images
A talented photojournalist acquaintance posted “2013 the Best of” his work and images Charlie Litchfield. It inspired me to go back and reflect on where my lens has taken me this year. I branched out this year and excepted any request that challenged me in a new direction. A military formal ball – prom style portable studio set-up, a High School Reunion – class of ’73, a triathlon, the usual “on going projects” and wedding cakes. Trying to make a living wage as a photographer in a small Idaho college town can be a challenge and rewarding. My photographs are not perfect but they reflect the relationships and images I strive to make. Happy New Year
Asked to shoot the ROTC Navy Ball… I was not content to stick with the formal script and tried to find the inner-Marine. I found it… and now have a better portable studio, blue mottled back drop and all.
I am always honored when asked to shoot a wedding, especially a destination wedding like Jess and Matt’s at the River Dance Lodge near the intersection of the Selway, Locsha, and Clearwater Rivers in Central Idaho. Melding with the families as a member and not just “the Photographer” is the only way to record reality. Non-wedding photography – photography. Thanks for allowing me the honor. more…
Having been Asked to shoot the Palouse Sprint Triathlon for several years I finally agreed, only I was schedule to river guide that day so I collaborated with a talented second shooter Colt Fetters , in this case he shot most of the images, I edited and distributed them. He said it was like shooting a soccer game, football game, and bike race at the same time.
Asked to do the group photos for Moscow High School 1973 class reunion and a few candids, I stayed around and enjoyed the energy that surrounds reunions.
A few more images of “on going projects”.
Looks like a photographer who has fun gets some good photos.
