RB Photo and Design

Today I got reminded why I love photography so much. A friend of mine lost her son yesterday. I didnt know him to well, but he was a really good kid. 19 years old, way to early to go. Anyhow, he graduated this past spring from High School with  Jeannie's nephew and half brother so I got some shots of my friends son getting his diploma and walking off stage. I took them over to her today on a disk, and she was very thankful to get them. I was so glad to be able to give her something to help her remember her son by. This is what I love about being a photographer, being able to capture and preserve these special memories for people. It is a very fulfilling and rewarding profession.

Had a wonderful Christmas with the family. Got a chance to get pictures of everyone and sit around and catch up a little. My sister got us Colts tickets, so next Sunday we will be going to the last regular season game of the year to watch the Colts play the Titans. Should be a lot of fun! Anyhow, here are a few pics from my family's Christmas get together.

Merry Christmas everyone, we hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season!.

So last night we went to  Jeannie's aunt Betty's house for our first Christmas get together this year. We had a great time seeing a lot of Jeannie's family. Good food, great company and a little football talk makes for a great evening. While we were there I took some pictures for Jeannie's family, wish I had brought more than just my 18-50 lens and a 430ex flash...used some nice light coming in from the window for my main light and bounced the flash in manual to balance with the ambient...could have done better with my triggers and an umbrella, but part of being a good photographer is being able to produce shots in less than optimal conditions.

Looks like a late might, watching the weather as reports come in...forecasted snow totals just keep going up...as of right now the last report was 5-9" expected in my area with up to 3/4" of ice expected south of here in Louisville KY. Soon as there is anything to take a picture of I will post some up!

So after weeks of putting it off I finally broke down and reworked my logo into something I feel is more professional and that I hope will go a long way in building brand recognition. What do you think?

Problem is I have never been able to find a grid that was made just for hot shoe flashes that were affordable. Well, I happened to stumble across these guys, Honeycomb Grids , and they have the perfect products to use for your hot shoe flash... you can but them ready made or DIY, in addition to grids for flashes they have grids for beauty dishes and strobes, as well as gobos, snoots and wraps. So if your in the market for a quick, cheap grid solution check these guys out.
