Well today I was supposed to host my Tasty Light Seminar, but was not able to do so, due to some of the photographers not being able to make it. I still hooked up with a few photographers to do the photo shoot, as I still wanted to get out and play a little. Jackie Blair, Rachael Brinton, and Lauren came downtown Ann Arbor to do a couple hours of shooting. It was fun, but not the best photographically in my opinion. I don’t know why….maybe it was the light or wind or something, but I wasn’t necessarily ‘feeling’ it today. I got a few shots that are ok and I’m cool with that…I was just happy to be able to get together with some people and shoot for the sake of shooting. Lauren and Rachael also got a few of me jumping and shooting and whatnot and I gotta say, even though I think I look a little heavy, I like being in front of the camera sometimes. My sister Jen, and her husband Tony modeled for us…thanks you two!
My sister…ain’t she purdy!?!
Me in action…
Me really in action…thanks to Lauren for this sequence! Yes, that’s $6k in my hand…Mike Larson throws his camera in the air, so….
A better example of my ‘ups’…this white boy can jump! I held my high school long jump record for 7 years (22′ 1″…the previous record, 21′ 8″, was set the year before I was born) as well as a few others and I also cleared 6′ 3″ in the high jump when I myself was only 5’7″. I gotta say, I do miss jumping…
Jackie Blair - i like the butt shot & the texture on it. I was feeling the shoot, especially once I got going a little but maybe you were a little more used to the location & models. ps….the pic of you shooting says “shes a lady” behind you on the wall…hah. I will post a sneak peak soon…I meant to do it Saturday but I ended up driving all the way to port huron after my second shoot, ….I needed a break. =)
Wendy - You do got ups, D! I only jumped 5’4″!!! Cool shots! Where are you?? Love the sequence shots and use of color- very cool! Looking forward to the real Tasty Light!
Amy - Hi Dustin,
I came across your blog and website from a flickr thread (I was searching for reviews on Kubota’s actions)and thought I’d check it out–love seeing other photoblogs! I love love love your images! They are crisp, fresh and very eye catching! I’m trying to break into the business (wedding and family portraiture) and am slowly building up a portfolio–need more people to practice on!
Anyways, just saying hello–I’m going to add this to my blog and check back periodically! Thanks for the inspiratation!
