All Work and No Play
I don’t make it a habit of posting client work here on my daily journal because as a general rule I like to use this venue as a place to display assorted personal work that I do for my own enjoyment. As I write this entry though I am at the point where except for the image I made in the rain yesterday I haven’t shot anything personal in a while. Shooting for clients has been keeping me more than busy and my calendar is heavily booked for some time into the future as well. This image is one that I was assigned to shoot for a magazine cover yesterday. It’s also the first shot that I’ve made with a new 7 foot diameter parabolic umbrella that I just had shipped in. I think I like the result.
Cover Proof
The only photos I’ve been working on between teaching and speaking engagements the last couple of days are for the featured home for the next issue of Luxury Home magazine. This shot is the current leading candidate for the front cover of the issue.
Waterfront Property
I’m in a rush right now so for today’s post I simply grabbed a shot that I liked from yesterday’s shoot.
A Peaceful Place… Now
The chapel of Our Lady of La Leche stands at the place where the first Catholic mass was held in the Americas in 1565. The current incarnation of the chapel was restored in 1914. Prior structures that stood here were subjected at various times to cannon fire, torching by pirates, accidental fires, and hurricanes.
Southern Living
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to give up modern conveniences and the complications of life that go along with them. What would I do with all the time that I now spend at the computer? Maybe I could just sit in a rocking chair on the porch and contemplate. Maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.
The Garden Shed
Interior of the garden shed that houses the well for the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Estate in Cross Creek, FL.
Sanctuary
I wanted to compose an image that highlighted the stained glass windows in the sanctuary of the Cathedral Basilica. It took quite a while to actually get the shot. There were some people who came in to pray and out of respect I waited patiently for a moment when the sanctuary was empty to shoot.
Cathedral Basilica Interior
This is one of several views that I expect to post here. I really enjoy it when I have the opportunity to photograph beautiful interiors like this.
Bright Spot
Inside the Cathedral Basilica in St Augustine a beam of light streaming through a window was striking the end of these pews and illuminating them in warm contrast to the somber interior of this part of the church.
Colorful Corridor
This narrow corridor in the inn where I stayed in St. Augustine was an irresistible subject to photograph.
Home Base
I spent last week in St. Augustine and this place pretty much served as headquarters. It was a very good trip.
Old Sugar Mill
A bit of steam powered Florida history sits on the side of the road in the quiet little town of Homosassa.
The Old Fishing Shack
I got to take some time for myself the other day and do a bit of exploring mixed with a bit of photography. This is an old fishing shack on the banks of a creek that I took several photos of, both inside and out.
