.014 October

First I'd like to apologize for the 2 month gap! September and October are normally the busiest months of the year for me since I take school pictures. A lot of waking up early, driving several hours, and working 13+ hour days doesn't leave much room for blogging, but I have taken pictures!

I took this one day after work. My brother had a fire going in the burning barrel in the backyard, and it was just perfect fall weather.

This is my fill light for my setup when I took pictures at a Rhode Island high school. It was the creepiest environment ever, the back corner of a stage. I thought it was pretty funny, though!

This was in a pizza shop I was getting lunch in when I took pictures in North Adams, MA. I thought the poster was really interesting. A little story for you about that North Adams school, we were set up in the hallway and my set up was next to a door, so I had it propped open to let a breeze in since it was warm in the building. Next thing I know, a DOG runs right in the door, hopes over all of our set ups, and takes off down the hall. So there I was, behind my camera with a line of 200+ high school freshmen and I just let an animal into the school. I decided to go after the dog and shoosh it out the door. It was young yellow lab. One of my favorite stories from that job, haha!

I have to say, though, I like this poster a lot better than the last one! I found it on the stage at a school in Westfield, MA. There was nothing around it that could be destroyed, really, so I'm wondering what it's original purpose was, or if the kids were geniunly worried that I was going to destroy their stage!

That's all for now, I'll try to be more diligent as the season slows down! Take care, everyone.
