Camping!

in , , , ,

So one of my passions that I don't get to do very often is go backpacking and I had the opportunity this past weekend to join a couple friends and get out of town for a couple days. I can't remember the last time I took some time off and it was so nice to relax. The last morning we were there it actually got down to 23 degrees. Thank God for a good sleeping bag! Here are just a couple from the trip! Blessings. Jason

These first couple shots were actually all reflection shots... The water in the creek was so still

For some reason I really love this shot... It was actually Kyle's first time camping which is always fun.

This last shot is probably my favorite from the weekend... I love how the warm glow of the sun comes off of the ridgeline..

Leica M8!

in , ,

So I had a little toy (Leica M8 + 50mm Summicron f2) come in the mail yesterday and I figured that I would post a couple photos from the new camera. So far I am really digging the camera and looking forward to shooting with it in the future. Here are just a couple. Blessings.

Lydia Florea Deroche Baptism!

in ,

You may have seen a couple images a while back from right after Lydia was born (literally just a couple hours old). Well... this past Sunday Jen and I joined Sarah and Kyle for her baptism. The whole time Jen was swatting my hands telling me to put down the camera, but I was able to fire off a couple in between. Here are just a couple from her big day! Blessings.

American Photo!!

in , ,

So I received a copy of American Photo yesterday and it just happened to have one of my images in it under the Images of the Year Competition. I actually didn't know that I was going to be one of the finalist in the magazine and I was extremely surprised when I got it in yesterday. If you get a chance pick up a copy of the magazine at your local bookstore! Blessings.

Clay Pots - and thoughts that have nothing to do with them

in ,

I was at a wedding this weekend talking with someone and they asked me, "tell me about a bridezilla that you have had." I immediately started going through my memory to see if I could remember any in particular, and quickly realized that I have had none.

I realized in that moment how fortunate I have been to have such awesome brides that have chosen to have me on their wedding day. I just wanted to write a little post to say thanks to all of my brides who have chosen me and allow me to continue to do what I love.

Blessings.
