the Elliotts are wonderful.  a beautiful family.  taking pictures of families is very rewarding.  i'm able to see family members interact with one another, how they look after each other, love-on, and even pick-on one another.  families are the Lord's provision; they're little communities housing intimate fellowship for it's citizens.  it encourages me to love and pray for my family even more.

if i could dream in black and white, i would. i thought about what it would be like to see in black and white and then i realized there's a name for that.  many of these images are in black and white because color could not tell the story well enough.  desaturation alone (plus a few color ones).

little did i know that on this particular day every photographer in indianapolis would decide to show up at this location as well.  that's the last time i take any client where i know that there might be even the slightest chance of another photographer being there as well, the last time.  my advice to myself: be original.

new pictures which are a part of my 365 days of posting a picture.  scenes from san diego.  i am debating whether or not to continue posting them on the blog, flickr, or on facebook, only because i want to keep the blog free from clutter (i.e., not full of one picture posts).  obviously i'll keep y'all posted (ha, 'posted', get it...i'm a dork).
