Nikon service saves the shoot!

Posted by eB on April 24th, 2009 filed in art, photo, thoughts

I am floored. So was my favorite lens.
During a shoot in an old theater’s projector booth, I accidentally pulled a lens of a table when my camera strap caught it. While in a moment of inspiration, I changed lenses and grabbed my D300 off the table after arranging lighting and props. The camera decided to [...]

Creative Sara and the Super Macaroni

A few days back Sara made up a tasty and colorful dish for lunch. I call it Super Macaroni. The colorful dish begged to be photographed before devoured.
I saw her creative side years before we ran around with cameras together. She has an uncanny knack of making art out of just about anything she finds, [...]

Craving Retro

While in Indy last weekend I drove by the Children’s Museum and reminisced the last museum I could remember visiting was the Chicago Museum of Art in 2004. Yes, over 4 years ago in the dating days. It was one of my favorite trips with Sara.

If you’ve looked at a photography magazine or seen any photo-centric websites or forums you know there’s been a tidal wave of new digital SLR cameras flooding the lineup of already pretty awesome cameras out there. Newer, faster, shinier, a couple extra megapixels… it’s crazy how quickly new cameras are being introduced!
This summer it was [...]

This was our undisputed favorite poster print at Art Beat.
You’ve seen and probably made snow angels – this is a water angel.

So many more photos to come from this fantastic 2-day shoot. Patience.
