RB Photo and Design

Doesn't happen very often, because Jeannie and I like to do everything together, but this weekend she took off with her boss and went to D.C. leaving me home alone.... SO now I sit here bored out of my mind watching the Discovery channel and nodding off. What to do what to do? I could head down to the bar and hang out with some friends who are playing tonight and take some pics, or I can stay home and be bored...not sure which will win out. I used to love hitting up the bars on the weekend, but anymore I would rather sit at home. Is that a sign of getting old? lol...

Sort of related to my previous post, not sure who made this video but its funny and so accurate of how the photography business is anymore. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7414705/

In my opinion there are 3 types of photographers. There are those who are hobbyists, they shoot with a point and shoot or a nice DSLR, but never learn what all the settings are for, they just stick it in auto and click away...these are parents, aunts and uncles for the most part that just want pictures for the family photo album. They dont charge for their images because they do it for fun and there is no implied level of quality expected.

So yesterday started off a little slow as most weekend mornings do around here. I got up and fixed breakfast and then we went out on the front porch and carved a couple pumpkins. I carved one with skulls in it and Chrissy done one with a cat...After that we went down to the Falls of Ohio and done a shoot for my friend Heather and her fiancee' and his sister and her fiancee'..hope you were able to follow that..lol. We had a beautiful overcast day with an awesome sunset. I was able to get a lot of beautiful pictures, I am sure they will love them. Pictures after the break

Its almost the weekend and we have a portrait shoot this Saturday at the Falls of the Ohio. Should be a lot of fun, I have known one of the girls for a very long time and she has always been fun to be around. I am also currently looking for a mini truck to shoot for a possible feature in a magazine. I have been wanting to break into doing car show coverage for the magazines for a long time. Recently one of them had a staff change and I got in touch with the new editor and sent him some images of trucks I had shot recently and he liked my work and gave me the go ahead to shoot something for the mag. problem is, in this part of the country its getting cold and nasty so everyone has their trucks put away for the winter...lol..just my luck...Hopefully I will find something soon...

The day has finally come! My brothers Chihuahua had her pups. We were hoping she would have one that was similar in color to our Charlie, but our hopes didnt pan out. She had 3 pups, 2 boys and 1 girl. All of them white with brown spots.

Went to Montgomery Farms on Saturday as I said we would on a previous post, and surprisingly had a really good time...lol. Not that I don't enjoy seeing my nieces and nephews and spending time with them, its just usually I am around them in a house with them going crazy running everywhere. It doesn't take long for my nerves to be fried. and the older I get, the less  it takes to get me frazzeled...lol
