Assignment: Showing Motion

As you may know, this year we’ve been busy as a family with a lot of Ultimate Frisbee.

For this shot I wanted to freeze the frame of motion, to show motion.

I also wanted to do it in daylight, to set the scene.

I used my single strobe, a trampoline, a Frisbee, and my daughter.

Assignment: Self-portrait, using light and shadow, showing emotion.

I did a series of self-portraits for this assignment and chose this one.

It has always been hard to show positive emotions, especially in a photo.

This image depicts my joy as a father.

Being a dad is hard and challenging, but it brings me great joy.

I love being a dad to my daughters.

Salute to the Fallen

I was privileged to offer my photography services

to a great cause.

While my focus isn't event photograph—

this was an event I wanted to support however I could.

Last weekend there was a series of events

to support and honor families of fallen heroes.

It was a moving experience.

Note to my future self

To end here's a quote from myself 10 years ago.

It ties in to my late night scroll stopper notes.

The lateness of the hour begs for a return to my bed.

Yet, in this very hour I sit and write.

I write for the slumbering giant, who lost his only giant-sized pencil.

I write for the glorious and magnificent clouds with which he calls home.

And yet I linger without substance.
