senior film of Rachel...

this is the first senior film i've ever done.  it was wonderful, and Rachel's sister's joined us and got to observe the whole process. this was the same location of Rachel's senior fotos.  you can see her senior fotos here.  Rachel is a lovely, godly girl; it's been a blessing to become close friends her family and her over the past years.  i've included a bunch of film (like 35mm and medium format, aka still fotos, not to be confused with motion pictures). this was shot on a nikon d3s.  nikon still has some catching up to do with video to achieve canon quality as you'll notice some jumping within frames. to watch in HD, watch in the vimeo website.  music: Ray LaMontagne.

Zach is a very funny senior at Zionsville HS.  we had a blast walking around downtown making some fantastic fotos.  Zach witnessed that day my first encounter of being scolded for standing on "private property."  hey lady, we were only standing on the curb - it's not like we were gallivanting through your barn (yet).  anyway, we carried on with the picture making process and created the following. 

i don't get to do senior pictures often, but I'd like to more...

i met Brad at Ryan and Morgan Gill's wedding back in july.  Brad is Morgan's younger brother.  Brad just has that easy going and cool way about him.  nothing seems to phase him.  Brad, now a senior at hilliard darby, rocks in a heavy metal band as the bassist.  his music style and clothing style are a lot further ahead than my sense of style when i was in high school.  for instance, he has many a pair of some kickin nike shoes.  and i also just knew the session was going to be phenomenal when we both showed up wearing plaid/flanel shirts.  be sure to check out his band's music on myspace; their band is called legion and they play in the columbus, oh area.

side note one: we were pretty sure that SOMETHING very shady was going down at one of our locations.  we didn't stay long to find out if we guessed right or not...

side note two: bought my first mac computer today.  i've been a windows man up until this point.  but i believe it's just time, don't you think?  i leave to go pick it up now.
