Welcme back to Foto Friday my friends.
And I better get this in early because if yesterday was any indication I won't have time to breathe today at work.
Deep work load, ragged deadlines and little cooperation from the people who are to sign off on the graphic work I do for them, it all makes for a really stressful time.
But today should be...

Removing this blog to re-edit
Good morning and welcome to Foto Friday for 9/15.
Last week I alluded to a story about photographing these dilapidated headstones. I live in North Carolina which was a pivotal state in the Civil War and we have many dead from that era buried here. I came up with the idea for this series of neglected graves and the second time I went out to...

Hmmmm, thanks folks, but I now realize I need to put a caveat on what I am posting here. The straight photography is 100% mine. However, the Photoshop efforts are not always totally, or even any, of my phtography.
Before I started shooting again I started competing in these Photoshop contests and I used photos off the web, from free photo banks. After a while this got to be too time consuming and there were often times I could not find the perfectly right picture to use, so I started uisng my pocket digital. Well, one thing lead to another and now I am shooting seriously again. (With a better camera of course)
I just wanted to make sure I was not giving you good people a false impression. For the most part, the photoshop pictures are displayed for the Photoshopping in them. The exceptons would be this one:
this one:
and this one:
which are all original work including all photographs incocrporated into the final image.

Good morning and welcome to Foto Friday.
I hope everyone's week has been good, well, I know for some it hasn't, but the wish is still there.
I am rather jazzed since yesterday a new set of studio strobes arrived. New toys are always fun and when the toys help you do your work it's especially fun. The system is a three head set which...

Sorry I missed Foto Friday.
I love the church one. I can't place it, but that is a magnificent picture.
As always, I love your photoshop wizardry. The Butterphant never forgets, yet he only lives 30 days...

Hello sweets, thank you for checking out my blog!! I hope the link will help. Yes, his photos are very erotic. And speaking of photos, I am absolutely delighted by your "rescue" birdhouse picture. That is adorable. By looking at your work and reading your notes I am learning more about how Photoshop works... Thank you.
Much love... Peace.

Thanks all. Labor Day was spent . . . er . . . laboring on a special photographic project. But it was certainly a labor of love. I hope everyone else had a grand day whether you had it off or not.
Cheers,

Howdy folks. Is been a week since last post. Not in time, maybe, but certainly in intensity. The new client is . . . well, frankly, a lot of work and very little turn around time. Ah, but that's all part of the glamor of the graphics industry.
"If we had wanted it tomorrow we would have TOLD you tomorrow . ....

Stand by, having a technical issue here.
Hello all.
Very busy time just now. School starting and a brand new exremely demanding free lance client too, but it is, after all, Foto Friday so I at least wanted to post another few for you good people.
Taken in the hospital, I used a very slow shutter speed to obtain the movement blur of the woman leaving the elevator since it seems like...

Greetings and happy Tuesday all.
Just a quick note today as this week is move in at the university and with the kids and their families all trying to squeeze onto campus at the same time things are crazier than normal here.
The shoot Sunday went just fine and I am starting on the post-processing which will be lengthy and involved, but things are working...

cute comment about the '60s. 
Good morning and welcome to foto Friday.
I think I'd like to post a couple of actual photos in addition to a chop for a bit of variety. It will also serve to get my motor revved for a shoot I am doing Sunday. This should jump start a long anticipated (by ME anyway) project I will be working on over the next year or...
