Halloween

This year for Halloween I decided to work on something that I'm not very good at, portraits. This is the perfect time to practice something like portraits. I get to work with flash and lighting kits and try to work with setting something up. Here are some of the portraits I like.

Maybe I'm finally understanding the game. Maybe it was just a good game. Either way I done good.

Shy-Drager Syndrome

Shy Drager Syndrome is a degenerative disease that causes severe drops in blood pressure, vision loss, and increased risk of infections. James Jefferys was diagnosed in 2008 and his wife Rhoda is his care giver.

HS sports

In non terror related photos, I've begun to shoot lots of high school sports. Regionals and state tournaments are approaching so it's only going to get more sports intense.
