Happy Thanks Giving!
I hope you had a chance to stop the world and spend time with the people who are important to you. I did and I really needed it.
Things are always busy around here. Trying to balance two worlds and family is pretty difficult. I'm continuing to grow in photography. Lots of cool things happening these days. I recently did a series of portraits of some really great kids here in Brandon. Children are great, but they can be really challenging. Sometimes after a shoot like this I wonder what will work and what won't.
During the shoot I do my share of "chimping" to see how I'm doing, but the real proof comes
when I open the images in Adobe Bridge and start working on the RAW files. Have I mentioned I love RAW. I know a lot of people who think it's way too much hassle. Maybe it is. I still love the process and shooting jpeg feels way too risky. One of the side benefits I've found is that it forces me to slow down just a bit while I'm shooting to keep the buffer from getting filled too quickly. That change of pace helps me to be a little more introspective in what I capture.
Well, I have to run, but I wanted to put this out before I dive into another day. I'm hoping this can become a good habit for me.
