Sample from Firefighter Shoot; August 25, 2009

I will be photographing four of our local firefighters for the 2009 Austin Firefighters Calendar, a fund raising effort for the AF Relief and Outreach Fund. The fund provides assistance to firefighters and their families impacted by injury, illness, or death, as well as aid to other citizens in need.

Here are a couple of samples of firefighter Todd Heiser of Engine 11. Our session was at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. I extend my thanks to Todd and his three colleagues who I have worked with this week (don't worry, the others will be represented in my blog in turn). We are lucky to have such folks protecting us and our homes!

Photo for Tuesday, March 31: Reflections & angles

Reflections in a roadside retaining pond, Parmer Lane; Austin, TX. I spied this scene while out for a bike ride. I'm attracted (like many photographers) to reflections as well as geometric and graphic patterns. Who knew a drainage pond could be beautiful?

Photo for March 20: High school senior portrait

High school senior portrait. No big styrofoam grad year in my senior portraits!
