EXCELLENT.

canon repairing your camera’s broken pixels and autofocus issues in 7-10 days instead of 7-10 weeks + my family visiting this weekend + my birthday + NO RAIN now on saturday for the U2 concert = EXCELLENT.

man some days are just good. it would be better if goodberry’s had their pumpkin flavor again today (highly recommended), but alas, it was last night.

here come the edits of my lovely friend abigail and her fantastic boyfriend matt! it was so fun to shoot these guys. abby was a teacher friend from my teaching days and i hadn’t seen her in a long time. these two met us out at west point on the eno park in durham which turns out to be a fantastic place to shoot. there’s a bunch of creepy old barn houses, water, and plenty of wildlife.

and by “plenty of wildlife” i mean that we saw “do not disturb the snakes” signs, almost had abby and matt accidentally sit next to a gigantic spider hiding in the grass, and i got bitten and/or stung by an unidentified bug… a bite/sting that pursued its painful, itchy course for several days until i had to go to the doctor. hmm.

this is one of those places that, once again, is beautiful to shoot at if you’re all into the wildlife and are wearing rubber pants. unfortunately, abby was wearing a dress way before we saw the giant spider and “do not disturb the snakes” sign. thankfully her and matt escaped unscathed and geoff and i have now decided to put a first aid kit and wet wipe containers in with our gear. :)

i’ll continue to edit these next week, but for now here’s a preview of the adorable couple:

have a great weekend!! :)

it’s been a busy 1.5 weeks and it will continue for several more… but all good exciting! consulting this afternoon, editing, etc. i have to go get my car inspected sometime this week which, although not expensive, is just a general pain. i then i have to re-register it w/ the state of north carolina, blah blah blah. we are finally approved to shoot at American Tobacco in durham this friday for our trash the dress session! i can’t wait to have some of those up here and in the portfolio. my friend steve from florida is also coming up on friday to hang out w/ us over the weekend here in raleigh. steve is a friend of mine from college (point park university in pittsburgh) who recently moved from  pittsburgh to the orlando area. we’re excited to show him around raleigh this weekend. :)

here’s some more photographs from the jennifer and travis shoot!

camping was awesome! more to come on that later. however, being in the woods for 2.5 days can get really old really fast as you get continually rained on, swat hornets away from your fire-burnt food, and run up an incredible sleep debt due to all the shuffling noises outside your small overheated tent at night. we had a great time, but boy… i’m glad to be back in the world of showers, internet access, and microwaves. i’ll be posting pictures from our journey later this week.

here’s some photos from my session with travis and jennifer – a really adorable couple who were great to work with. they let me put them in all sorts of perilous jungle-gym situations while being gawked at by a bunch of 5-10 year olds manning the playground. you guys are awesome! :)
