Road Trip

I've been back from my road trip for a couple weeks and like life, things just pass. I wanted to get my trip pics up long ago, but finally I've found a bit of time to get them processed and posted.

I had such a good time exploring the Western side of Indiana from Shades State Park up to Lake Michigan, South Bend, the farmland betwixt Indy and all other points.

I had the pleasure of playing a round of Golf @ Rock Hollow Golf Course in Peru and enjoyed the course and the beauty of it as you'll see. I'll probably continue to put more photos as I find time. I couldn't help but take lots of photos as that was pretty much my goal and in the process discovered Alamo Indiana, Nevada Indiana and of course Peru. All such fun names aren't they! Kokomo was cool to see, however, of course the Beach Boys got it all wrong, but that's the oldest joke in the book and I won't go there any further, but I had a great time and enjoyed my time thoroughly.

I hope you enjoy the photos and if you want to see them larger, just click on them and take a closer look!

Thanks for checking up on what I'm doing!

Legacy House Assignment

Over the past couple years I've had the opportunity to offer my services for a few non-profit organizations in Indy. One of my favorites is the Legacy House which is a free victims of violence service that provides an all encompassing service to all victims of violence, both men and women which is a very unique service in Indy.

I have created a few photographic pieces including last year's annual report and was hired this season to create 6 themed images which help put a face and idea to who really is affected by violence and abuse.

My first couple sets were done with an amazing young man, Devin Large. Devin, as you see has a great look and can really take directions well. I am so very very pleased to show off these images and OH, I did something I haven't done in years for a job, I took pics with film! I know Iknow, just for fun, I can't wait to see how they come out. But here's a good look at my favorite bakers dozen so far.

Stay tuned....

Looking Better Online

I had the opportunity to photograph Larry Weiland today. Larry found me through my affiliation with IndyLock&Key's event at Sub-Terra Lounge this weekend.
I always am flattered when people go out of their way to find me and I'm especially glad when a professional guy thinks outside the dots a little to help himself get better results in his online pursuit of a great friend and relationship.

After having photographed about 6000 singles in Indy, I guess I'm really, "the guy" to help you look better online. A picture's worth at least a thousand words. The strategy for men doing online dating need to put their best foot forward and project the look they want and do it authentically. For women, it's just simple. Men are visual creatures, so look as good as you can so men will click on your profile.

My New Toy

I found this 7x magnifier for $30 and had to buy it. Who knows what kind of applications it will have in my business, but the very idea of having a 20x30 inch magnifier seems kind of cool and absurd. It weighs like 25 lbs and is awkward. I'm going to have to wear steel toed boots to maneuver, but I'm thinking seriously about using this for some of my Legacy House ad shots coming up soon. Click on any and all photos to see them bigger! Thanks for looking :)

Melissa's Headshots

I had a great time photographing a counselor referred to me by JHDJ Law. I LOVE referrals! Thanks to Amber for the referral and thanks for Melissa for choosing me to provide headshots for her business. If you're a professional and want a good look to go with your great name, please get in touch.

I've had the opportunity over the past 5 years to photograph over 6000 people for composites and headshots. Doing the math, it seems like that's a half a percent of the city! How cool is that?! I love what I do! Can you tell???

All In The Family...

I had a great time back in K.C. MO. hanging out with my family this past week. My folks flew in from Nevada. My brother came in from Ft. Worth, my cousin Sarah and husband Michael had us at their place while my folks stayed with my Uncle and Aunt across the street. Total blast! Bob, my uncle and the newest Grandpa Johnson turned 60 so we helped him celebrate the big day and it was my first chance to see my newest cousin, Giada Bella... precious little girl that she is. Sarah and Michael gave her each of their best genes and you can tell just in looking at her.

Yesterday was my Folks' 40th anniversary and as I was going through these pictures, I realized over the decades of my photography that I've never done a real nice portrait of them. I so wish I could have thought about that when I had them hostage here in Indy for the day that they were here.... Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!! I love you tons.
