Well, today is the day!  Aubrey's baptism day is here and we are very, very excited.  I thought I might share once again the images I will never forget, as they left indelible impressions on my heart.  She is growing so quickly and becoming a young lady right before our eyes.

Another very informative film

I found this on You-Tube as well.  Although fairly brief, I find it to be very informative with regard to photographic history.  Another interesting film from the BBC, I wish the US networks had the same interest in these art documentaies.  Very well done, take a quick look and see what you think. There are 6 parts posted to You Tube.  Here is the link to part 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut00KGEwYL0

An excellent book for photographers....

You know, the Internet certainly does make things easier in many ways.  One of those happens to be the availability of information for both entertainment and education.  It is so simple to acquire information on ANY subject that we sometimes forget one of the prominent traditional methods through which we once gained knowledge, books. 

When browsing through our local Books A Million (a nice locale to burn some time) I once in a while come across a book which begs to be brought home.  One of my recent acquisitions is Joe McNally's "The Moment It Clicks".  I won't go into Joe's story or a review of the book, as I am not a great reviewer, and I typically find reviews to contain more information which does not affect my decision than does. 

That said, this book is amazing.  Joe practices the art of flash photography and has it down to a science.  I have always been fond of the term "available light", most define it as nothing but natural.  However, Joe considers "any" light (flash or otherwise) as available.  If you are truly interested in developing your lighting techniques get this book and read the WHOLE thing cover to cover.
