MTC Regionals: Day1
- December 27, 2008 -
After our bus broke down, we finally arrived in Michigan (a 12 hour tour). Since we arrived late, we came partway through the sessions, but here’s a sneak peak. (more commentary to follow, enjoy the images for now!)

I’m a bit of a people watcher. I find myself in an area, watching the subtleties of the interactions between people. What I see is not simply the kiss between the couple, but the shy smile and glance she gives him immediately afterward. It’s not the laughter of a child being thrown in the air by her father, but the look of anticipation right before she is lifted up. It’s these moments before and after ‘the moment’ that get my attention, and play a huge role in the story that I tell through my work.
Throughout the past year, I’ve had the honor and privilege of being asked to participate and document the important moments in the lives of many. Here’s a recap of 2008 (I also have done a handful of family sessions and events, but I wanted to keep these images more…couple-y… ;)).

A quick little Christmas message…stay warm everybody!
Like last year, I also made a couple of Christmas cards…and again, I have no wife or kids to put on it. So which one do you like better?
The clean and crisp…

…or the vintage?

Merry Christmas Everyone! Stay safe and warm!
