Man and Abandoned Cafe

I'm so far behind doing my photo-a-day, sheesh.

My friend and I went on a field trip to one of the small towns about an hour away from Abilene.  There were several deserted/abandoned structures along the Main Street.

This is one of them, once-upon-a-time a Cafe.  The roof, as you can see, has collapsed into the building and there was nothing else to see except the "Cafe" sign.   One can only imagine what a cute place it must have been in its day.

The mural on the outside was dated and is only a couple of years old.  

My friend offered to pose to give the building some perspective.

My heart is grateful for: 

the beautiful weather we had that day

Model Photography

The person leading the session for my photo club tonight decided to do some lessons on model photography and lighting.  This girl is from one of the local colleges in town.  She and another girl were so kind to come and be models for the class.

I don't have a studio, nor do I have lights, but it was interesting and a refresher course is always a good thing.

My heart is grateful:

that there is a photo group in my town and I can get together once a month with people who have the same interest as I do

Model

Several years ago I had the opportunity to participate in a model shoot-out.  The models and aspiring models needed the photos and we needed the practice.  I didn't take this today obviously, it was in my files.  I like it so I decided to use it today.

Grateful heart today for:

Having lunch with some new friends today at a cute little coffee shop.

Fun portrait session

Several months ago I had the pleasure of working with these kids on a portrait session. The little kids were tricky but I finally got some images I like.  I think the parents will love these.

 

A New Experience

I had the chance to photograph another tattoo today. The entire shoot was a new experience for me, but what fun. The model was a dream to work with and the weather totally cooperated. The tattoo is a secret...you'll have to wait for the book to come out.
