These guys are constructing a sign in a gas station parking lot. It looks like the sign is going to be larger then the convenience store part of the station.

Lacy got a new stuffed animal to play with. She ran around with it for a little bit, but then we had to put it in a safe place so she could not turn it into cotton balls.

Today I decided to play with water and hot sauce. Timing was key, I had to let the drop start to fall then click the camera shutter just as it hit the water in the glass. I like the red drop at the top of the little water fountain.

While photographing a marriage retreat today I noticed a card on one of the tables with the question, “If you could sit down with God and ask one question, what would it be?”

I decide to play with a little flash today. I used a few hot shoe flashes to light Mr.Red Hat here. One flash to camera left shot through an umbrella, one to camera right snooted with a red gel, and one with a blue gel to light the background.

Below is the same shot using only the ambient light of the room.

I like the first photograph much better. Oh yea and just in case you were wondering, both photos are straight out of camera.
