Adventure Log: DC Cherry Blossoms

Because yes, even though it's kind a normal thing to do around here, you never quite know what will happen when you brave the springtime crowds at the DC tidal basin. I guess I was lucky in that perhaps the only thing of note that happened was that I lost my hat. It was super beautiful though.

Rangers-Inspired Costumed Shoot

The Rangers is an independent film being made this summer, by some friends of friends of mine, from which Robin and I took our inspiration this almost-spring day in March!

It's almost as if we need an excuse to dress up and play outside with swords and cameras.

Goodbye, Snow

See you next winter, snow!

April 2014 Check-in

It's April and I feel the cabin fever setting in.

As such, I have a good handful of personal and professional goals.

-Start running. Which is a terribly strange thing for me to want to do, because running hurts my joints like mad, and that generally means I hate it. I've had an itch to run recently, though, and instead of fighting it I think I will simply invest in a decent pair of shoes.
-Spring cleaning. I'm moving in a couple of months and will have less space for all the things, so I've got to start getting rid of what I don't need!
-Upgrade equipment. It's time to get ready for the shooting season, and that means getting my hands on some better glass. Super excited.
-Experiment. With photography. I want to start prisming and freelensing a bit more. I will also remember to set my damn white balance before every setup. I will, I promise.

And here's my favorite frame from this week's fun times with Robin, dressing up and playing ranger/elven swordmaiden, inspired by The Rangers, an independent film being made this summer.

More garbed shoots, please.
