It’s fun to see how people are using my images that they buy from my iStockphoto portfolio. I like what they’ve done to this image by adding the blue sky, the original here.
Friends
A few months ago Nate Marx and I got together to do a autumn style photo shoot around a school theme. The image above was one of my favorites from the day. It turns out it was the one that required the most photoshop work in order to get accepted into my iStockphoto portfolio. With a full time day job, family and other responsibilities my time is limited so when I have an image like this one that requires more than average time spent in photoshop it usually gets put on the back burner. I enjoy doing location photo shoots and have quite a backlog of themes that I’m planning on doing this year.
I’m hopeful that it will be a good seller, I’ve had several others from the day that are doing quite well.

Project[52] – fifty two (it’s a wrap)
Well, this is the final post in my Project[52] project that I started 52 weeks ago. The idea was to post a photo each week that was taken during that week. I’m happy to report that I was able to do that for all 52 weeks. I don’t know how people can take on a 365 project where they post daily, it’s a big commitment that I’m not sure I would be able to do.
I have a few things in the works for this year for a new project but will be continuing to post to this blog as regular as I can. I appreciate all the comments. I’m a big believer in personal projects and will continue to do them to keep the creative juices flowing.
Update: I just noticed this post did not auto publish, it should have posted two weeks ago.

Project[52] – fifty one
My wife and I sat through regional swimming competition for my daughter last Saturday. I enjoy watching her do the breast stroke, it takes a lot of coordination. I was able to time it just right as she brought her elbows together lifting her up out of the water to start another stroke.

‘N’ contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I’d be willing to photograph her son’s 2nd birthday party, I of course said yes. They were also celebrating their anniversary so they reserved a reception hall and invited all their friends. I had a great time with them and their friends. I took this photograph at the end of the party, it turns out it’s one of my favorite from the evening.
I’m looking forward to the last two posts of my Project[52]. If you want to read about what my Project[52] is you can visit my first post that explains it here.

Winter Cabin
We spent a few days at our family cabin in Wyoming over the holidays. I was able get out just before sunset to capture a few images of the cabins.

Project[52] – forty nine
My wife has a difficult time shopping for me at Christmas time. I had asked for a few books and magazines related to photography (I told her which ones) but she was able to pull off a big surprise this year with an iPad 2. I have quite a few eBooks that I’ve been wanting to read and find it hard to do on my MacBook Pro. Since Christmas I’ve finished two books and have a few more to go. So far I’m liking the iPad 2 and have a few projects in mind for this year that will involve it.

Project[52] – forty seven
I’m finally caught up on my posts for my Project[52], with five weeks left I can say it’s been a fun project. My wife and I put a twist on decorating our gingerbread house this year. Her and I had a competition against our daughters to see who could come up the most creative design. We of course thought we did and they liked theirs(below) better so it came out as a tie. We will have to settle it next year. In case you missed it, the piece of gingerbread under the front tire is Mr. Snowman’s head. His body is at the far left and the poor family didn’t survive. If they had been wearing their seat belt it may have turned out for the better.
