I took my car to have the oil changed and the tires rotated and balanced.  While the car was in the shop Bob Haines and I went on a little photo outing and ended up in Bell Buckle, TN.  It was a fun afternoon.  We got there right in time for lunch and ate at [...]

Today I was on assignment for Bloomberg News covering the grand opening of the new Nissan North America Headquarters. It was an interesting shoot and a lot of fun. I enjoy doing this kind of thing, it used to be all I did, news photography. Now I find myself a little slow on it though [...]

Todays shoot was nice.  I was on assignment for Woman’s World magazine and was to photograph Jena Sims, a young lady who won the National Teen USA title in 2005.  She now is 19 and a student at Belmont University.  She has a Non-profit organization that hosts beauty pageants for kids with cancer.  She was [...]

Just a relaxing weekend around the house. We did not even go swimming!  On Sunday we went to the Brentwood Hills Church of Christ to visit and see how we liked it.  Several of Lily’s patients go there and they had been asking us to come for a long time so we went.  It is [...]

I spent all day today working on photos of antiques for a store who I shoto for regularly.  I do photos of various pieces for advertisements for his company.  It is challenging to get good photos of the pieces and make them look like the owner wants them to look.  Every time I learn something [...]

Today Ashleigh went to the Young Chef’s academy for summer camp.  When I picked her up she said she wanted to cook supper so we went to Kroger and got the stuff and came home and she prepared a side dish of tomatoes and a desert.  It all was very good.

Just several days of working in the office editing photos, going shopping with Lily and Rachel and going to the pool. Shopping for stuff for Rachel to decorate her locker at school: Then supper at a Vietnamese place: Then shopping again the next day: and finally swimming:

Today I had a big shoot at Nissan’s new USA Headquarters building in Franklin.  I was working on photos of the security instalations on the doors and such things for a corporate brochure for the company that installs this stuff.  It was a very fun and interesting shoot.  I put in about 7 hours non [...]
