op pretends to be doyle

Our first day up in North Carolina shooting. Sherry had to bury herself in the leaves. And OP had to get low and get the shot. The weather wasn't great so we created our own photo ops.

The Tampa Bay History Museum is some interesting architecture. Ihe windows face south and west so need some protection from the sun.

map lover

We were ready to leave for our portrait session. Then Ryan said he needed his maps. OK. But he can't find his maps. We found 3 street guides but none was the right one or didn't have the right pages. We ended up upset with me yelling. It was not a good start to the start. In the end, Ryan didn't need his map as there were plenty of guides in the area. And yes, we had to stop at them all.

andy in the alley

After our portrait session, the boys wanted to walk around Ybor. I took them through the alley to show them the graffiti. Only Andy let me take more photos of him.

just sitting around

Doyle & I rented some studio time and took the boys on their day off of school. (Teacher planning day.) We wanted to get familiar with the studio and their lights. I pretty much let the boys be themselves.

oaklawn

We went to Oaklawn on Friday the Thirteenth. It was so hot and humid that we didn't even last an hour. The cemetery is the oldest in Tampa and quite full of character.

[monday mosaic] home goods

I haven't done a monday mosaic in a while. I finally got my taxes out of the way so I good play with photos without (much) guilt. We had a photo walk last Friday at Patti's house. They have loads of of fun stuff to shoot. I shot enough for several mosaics but I'll only post one today.

engine block planter

Not really a planter. But weeds can find a home anywhere. This was taken at Patti's house. They have old cars, motorcycles and lots to shoot.

skim boarding at sunset

I like the sunset photo walks but it is difficult to go. Ryan likes me to be home for bed time. I did manage to get to this one once my dad came back after his trip to Michigan. I did some hdr shots but they didn't come out so good. even the architecture seemed to be ghosting and I did use tripod. I think the simgle images with topaz-adjust are better.

like father, like son

I was at a photo walk at Clearwater Beach. I couldn't believe that I was seeing matching father & son outfits. Poor kid probably gets beat up at school.
