Sunday's Wedding at the Contemporary Fine Art Center

I shot two weddings this past weekend as a second shooter for friends Eric and Carrie Green. Both were a blast. Here are a few detail images from Sunday's bash, there were lots to be had...

JC projected by the bushes

This is a good one...Now, I'm no fanatic or lunatic, but there is something here to be seen...see for yourself, this image was shot in black and white and only edited for a minor contrast adjustment... My Uncle called and said he had something to definitely photograph, so at the party on Saturday....I photographed it.

More BlackNGray

I just finished setting up a cool action for creating these Black N Gray photos. One thing I really like is that they still have a "blown" look in the whites, but it's grey instead. Not like an underexposed photo, but a different look altogether. Here are three portraits with the treatment that I'm experimenting with. The third photo was one I shot while assisting David Schwartz at a wedding in Cape Charles earlier this year.

My Take on The Wisconsin

I'm sick of seeing the same old boring photos of the USS Wisconsin, so I decided to go down to the dock and create a few of my own...

Taking a new Black and ...Gray?......for a test drive

I really dig the look of this particular BW technique that I've been trying to work the kinks out of. I saw some images and was inspired to recreate the effect, and then to create my own effect out of it. Let me know what you think...
