Well Hello....is there anybody out there? Springtime has begun and it's time to get serious about shooting again and posting to my photo blog. I've been dusting off the camera gear and working on tuning-up my multi-flash location lighting chops. It was another long and snowy winter in this corner of the Midwest and now at the last few days of March 2011, the snow is nearly gone from our yard and around town. The glimer of hope of green grass and blooming flowers helps make everyone's mood a bit lighter and happier, including yours truly! My wife and I have been in the Midwest now a full year. And we are now talking of establishing roots in her old hometown.
With that said, I have a renewed energy to develop new freelance photography relationships with agricultural, farming and regional publications. I've also begun a plan to establish a photography foothold into the community I live, offering my work for senior/athlete portraits, sports action and events. I already have one senior photo session on the books. I have a few personal photo projects on the list as well to keep the picture taking pulse pumping...that and a fresh pot of coffee!
One of the Springtime events farmers can count-on in the low lying river valley areas of the Midwest is flooding. In the local county, there a number of corn fields that are submerged with runoff from melting snow. But the up-side is very few farmers in this area have to use field irrigation during the growing season.
