This image is one that I made the morning that I left Jacksonville, Florida. I went to the beach to get some sunrise images, but it was very cloudy, and windy. There was no one on the beach but my self. This was a stark contrast from what I saw on the weekend when there was no place to park! This is one of the little walk ways that goes from the parking lot to the beach over some dunes.

This image is one that I captured at the resort I stayed at during my trip to Florida. We stayed at the Marriott Sawgrass Golf and Spa Resort. The resort is the home of the Players Championship. The resort is amazing, and we stayed near the historic number 17 island green. This waterfall is near that hole.

Today’s image is of our tulips more in bloom. They have finally mostly all opened now, but unfortunately, the frost we had last night may have hurt them. Hopefully I can get some more images out of them this year. This is one of the orange colored ones that we have. The plan is to plant a bunch more bulbs this fall of more different colors so I have even more to shoot next year!

Today’s image is from the wedding I shot in florida the previous weekend. It was a beach wedding, and these are the bride and groom’s shoes as they set them before they got married. I made the image feel like kind of an old style look and color.It was a great wedding and a great day to shoot. I am sure there will be more that I will be posting from the wedding as I can work through them.

This was my image from Saturday night. I had a 25th birthday party that I was hired to photograph at this restaurant called Black Forest. It is, as you can see, kind of a log cabin looking building. We were in the banquet room upstairs, and I thought it was really cool. There were just a couple of people there as this was just prior to the party starting. It was a good night, but late, so I didn’t get to post on Saturday. I am still trying to catch up from my Florida trip! I will get back on track here pretty quick though.

Today I had a business portrait session with Kelly. I think the image turned out pretty nice. I like doing the business sessions because I get to meet interesting people. Kelly has been with her company for 10 years, and every five years they have you get a portrait done. I think this is a really great idea, because, if nothing else, it makes you get a portrait done. It is important to have pictures done so that you can look back on your life and remember how great your life was. Too many people don’t get portraits done.

Today I am picking up my 365 project. I did create images over the last few days but the surprising lack of free internet access while I was on my trip, I could not post. So, I will pick up where I left off, and may use some of the images I created in Florida later. This image looks like I may be from Florida, but this was actually shot at Neshota Park in Two Rivers, WI. I was scouting locations for an upcoming engagement session.

My brother and I are in the process of driving down to Jacksonville Beach, FL to photograph a wedding on Sunday. so far it has been a pretty interesting and fun trip. The first surprising thing is that the Magelan GPS app that I downloaded for my iPhone works AMAZINGLY well! A lot better than the old Magellan GPS that is 2 years old. I also bought the MAgellan Cradle for that works with the GPS app, and together it is great! We decided to go against the GPS and not go through Nashville on the way down. The reason is that we are going to be stopping in Nashville on the way home, so we wanted some different scenery. Also, by taking a little alternate route, we get to go through North and South Carolina as well. In fact, I am writing this at a Red Roof Inn in Spartanburg, South Carolina right now. We ran into a little bit of trouble, because the route from Knoxville, TN to Asheville, NC was closed due a rock slide that closed the entire highway October 2009. So we ended up having to take this alternate route through these small little towns. Took forever! But we got to see some cool countryside. We also got to see a mountain on fire. They must have been dong a controlled burn on the mountain, but you could see it burning. Was kind of cool. I also saw a couple of Black Bears in Tennessee, so that was pretty cool. The Red Roof Inn is alright for a quick overnight stop, but it was free thanks to my good friend Kendra who won a free stay during a radio contest. She said, she probably wouldn’t use it and gave it to me. Luckily, the south is riddled with Red Roof Inns. That and Waffle Houses. Seems like every exit ramp has a Waffle House. We ate at one last night in Asheville, NC to see how it was. Not too bad actually. Today we will finish the drive to our hotel near Jacksonville Beach, FL. looking forward to more fun times today. We both got to go through states we have never been to before, and now today we will hit Georgia and Florida. Unfortunately, I did take a picture, just a quick snap of me and my brother driving, but I don’t have time to post it till later maybe. But I am hoping to more than make up for it later.

Today I saw that some of our tulips had finally started to bloom. I snapped this image quick when it was trying to rain. This is going to be a short post because I am getting ready to go down to Florida to shoot a wedding on Sunday. I will be driving down and back, but I am still planning to keep up my 365 project. The posts just might not be that day. Well, I am off to bed now that I FINALLY got everything packed and ready.

Today we had Buffalo Wild Wings for supper. They were running a special where any wing was $.50 in honor of tax day being tomorrow. I got the Asian Zing and man were they good! I shot this with natural light and the Lensbaby Composer again. Still trying to play with it to get better.
