After the Joy of Lighting class

A couple of weeks ago I told you that I was headed to Minneapolis to attend the Joy of Lighting class sponsored by West Photo and held at the Mpls Photo Center. Tony Corbell, who has teamed up with Bowens at teambowens.com, is an amazing instructor. The first day of the class was mostly classroom slides and discussions about different lighting techniques. Tony also went over the Bowens Gemini 400Rx lights that we received and the equipment that came with them. The second day was almost all hands-on, using the lights and their modifiers to practice and getting used to them. Our model, Anna Maher, was wonderful and very patient with us! Below are a couple of images from the practice sessions. We had three lighting scenarios that we practiced on. One setup used a single strobe and a softbox, the second used a single strobe with just the reflector and the third used three strobes, all with reflectors. The two gentlemen were classmates of mine that were gracious enough to let me photograph them.

Santa is coming to the Duck in and Eat in Blackduck, MN!

Santa is coming to the Duck in and Eat in Blackduck, MN!

That’s right! You heard me! Can you believe it?

What kid doesn’t want to sit on Santa’s lap and have his picture taken? What parent wouldn’t want a priceless (and we do mean priceless cause it’s FREE!) memory of their child?

On Saturday, December 13th from Noon to 3, Santa will be at the Duck in and Eat Restaurant in Blackduck. Come meet Santa and have a blast! A free 4×6 inkjet print will be printed while you wait or/and you can order a lab quality timeless 4×6 print for the one-time-only low cost of  $11.81, including tax ($35 value). Larger prints may be ordered at the standard price in effect at the time of the order. Only one photo will be printed, with the exception that if you have more than one child, each child may be photographed with Santa by themselves and one photo may be taken of all the children together.

Santa’s visit is sponsored by Duck in and Eat, Anderson Fabrics, Blackduck Ambulance, Blackduck Theatre and Caddy Imaging. A $5 donation would be appreciated but is not necessary. All donation proceeds go the local Toys for Tots.

Last month I had the privilege of photographing the Martinez family. Here are a couple of shots that they loved from the session.
