And the final session of this week (the wedding this weekend notwithstanding!) was a very fun session with Lisa and Ryan down on 14th Street! In one of those serendipitous life moments it turns out that we suggested a location that was less than a block from the apartment that they just moved out of. Perfect! The weather was building towards a pretty severe rainstorm and as a result produced some very warm, dramatic lighting.

So here’s a random thing that I’ve been learning about my photography lately. I take better pictures when I climb on things. Besides doing the obvious of changing the perspective of the camera it also gets my brain that much more engaged in the session. I was one of those kids who, if he found a narrow hallway, used opposing pressure to shimmy up to the roof. Actually, my penchant for climbing (and consequently falling) had my parents skeptical about my odds of reaching the ripe old age of 10. This holds true for other areas of my life as well – I once did a phone interview for a summer job in University and was bombing until I got up and started pacing. Call it nervous energy, call it whatever, I just operate better when I am moving. So with regards to my photography, I figured – why fight that? So if you happen to see me on a photoshoot you might see me climbing a tree or balancing somewhat precariously on something (concrete partition, fire hydrant, or hand railings). Don’t be alarmed – I’m just having fun!

Anyway, you came to see pictures right? Not listen to me blather. Without further adieu:

Thanks for being so much fun guys! We’ll see you in August!
