Cleaning

Last night was Grace's first night back to work since returning from WPPI in Las Vegas. When she got in, she noticed that Ron had spilled coffee on his desk. Grace volunteered, very excitedly, to clean Ron’s desk and reorganize everything.

Once she got it clean and whipped down she took a moment to rest.

Working Hard

Grace was helping Shellee with trying to pick three shots from the same photo shoot where the setup stayed the same but the lighting would change between the shoots. Something must have gone wrong since the lighting would change, like it was suppose to, but the angle of the camera would also change.

Christmas

I went down to San Diego and spent Christmas break with Shawna, Bret, Josephine and the family. It was great seeing everyone down there again. It has been over a year since I had gone down that way to see everybody. Josie is growing up quick. When Shawna took me with her to pick up Josie I wasn’t sure she would remember me. To my surprise, once she saw me her eyes lit up and she ran around excited. On the 24th Shawna’s birthday we went out to a great meat market/restaurant to celebrate. Her usual birthday meal of lobster was missed this year since there is going to be a new addition to the family in March. So instead this year she had a good sized steak wrapped in bacon. Later that day Bret brought out Shawna’s birthday cake.

Thanks to Bret, Shawna was able to have her lobster on her birthday after all.
The rest of the images are an assortment from the 24th and the 25th.

Family Photo

Taking a family photo is almost impossible since my brother hate anyone taking his picture. I have no idea how my mom talked my brother into it, but he did not disappoint with his inability to try to have fun in the picture. He would not smile and made it fairly clear that he did not want to be there. After a while he loosened up some, but was still a pain.

I would like to thank Krista for helping to take the pictures.

Faculty Dance Concert

This was the last of the events that I shot for the Theater Department this year. The lighting in this show is what I was really looking forward to seeing. I was in the Lighting Design Class this semester and as a finial project most of the students designed the lighting for the dance pieces. The lighting and the dances all looked great.

Happy Birthday Cliff

Hanging Out

After the Wedding Class got out a few of us went out with Greg to go shooting. We went over shooting for someone that is backlit and a few other techniques. While we were out there I wound up getting these shots.

Greg also gave a couple of us a chance to play with the new Lensbaby Composer. It is a fun lens but still hard to get something in focus once you finally look at it on your computer.

There where also some other photos from that day which I have decided not to post. Next time Chris wants Greg to give him a lesion on how to pose someone “romantically” he needs to have models that are not us.
