They're a deeper look into the soul of these future leaders and a tribute to all the men and women working as volunteers in Scouting. ]]> http://www.gradportraits.com/blog/art_of_eagle_scouts_beyond_pic.shtml http://www.gradportraits.com/blog/art_of_eagle_scouts_beyond_pic.shtml Blog angeles bill commencement council county eagle empire gradportraits graduates high hodge inland los los angeles orange photos pictures portrait school scouts senior studio william Fri, 02 Apr 2010 07:52:16 -0800 Cal Poly Pomona Times like these should not be left to memory alone!

Yet this year springtime blended into summer bringing us many weather fronts. It gave this photographer a show of color, shape & light - simple parts of nature that came together to give us a show of beauty and visual delight. We only needed to remember to stop from our daily tasks, responsibilities and work, and look up to enjoy the beauty. In this two minute MP4 video you'll see some of these images. More are certain to come. Check in occasionally for more visual treats.

So I spent an hour creating portraits in my backyard. Portraits of carnations, plumeria, henna and the other plants around my home. And, my exercise was limited to the use of a small point-and-shoot consumer camera. No professional camera was used here. No professional lens. Just a small Canon SD1200. The lesson here is: 'The camera is only as good as the person using it to create images.' As an example, since I have a word processor, am I a better writer than Steinbeck, Conrad, Tolkien or Wolfe? No. My mind doesn't put words together like they did. But my mind does see the patterns of light, shape and color you'll see in this video. Enjoy. Come back occasionally for new installments.

As a professional photographer it's important to grow professionally and artistically everyday, every month, every year. That's why in the past two years I've spent five solid weeks in weeklong seminars learning from some of the more creative portrait photographers in our business. I've spent a week each with Arthur Rainville & Jennifer Hudson, Tony Korbel, Joseph & Louise Simone, Trevon Baker and Carl Caylor, all disciples of Don Blair (you'll notice, I'm vicariously learning his styles through others, since he's no longer with us.) ]]> http://www.gradportraits.com/blog/born_anew_as_a_photographer_ar.shtml http://www.gradportraits.com/blog/born_anew_as_a_photographer_ar.shtml Blog arthur coast diego graduation high hudson jennifer picture portraits professsional rainville san school senior studio west Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:32:05 -0800
