I am honored to be a part of the #SpringIntoBlurb photo contest this month!  There are a lot of great prizes... including a Color Checker Display Pro from @Calibrite and of course from @BlurbBooks as well. I look forward to seeing your photos. https://blurb.com/blog/right-outside-your-door/
This set of images was shot with my daughter in a series I call “Playing with Dolls.” All shot around our home with the help of lights ( @profoto ) and a great camera ( @canonusa ). We had a lot of fun together and it goes to show you that you can get very creative and have a lot of fun right outside your front door.

This image comes from an album cover for @kevinburdick called 13 Weddings. Great Album. Getting the goat past security was a challenge.

Other than a great compositional addition to my photo, what is the purpose of a small section of fence on a beach?

I am posting this image shot in Iceland, edited on my iPad, put in a book and on my website from my desktop computer and no posting to Instagram from my phone. That’s the power and convenience of Lightroom. I’m on CreativeLIVE today with a new workshop called “Lightroom Desktop for the Photo Enthusiast.” In it, I show you everything you need to know in 2022 about using the Lightroom ecosystem in your photographic life. This new version of Lightroom has grown up and is now an incredibly powerful system. Plus you can still use it in connection with Lightroom Classic. So you might want to tune in. And if you watch today at 9AM pacific, it’s free.

Lighting Devin (the model) and the dog is a set Profoto B10 strobes with a soft box and a large translucent umbrella. But lighting the room in the background was just as important. All done with a few small Profoto A1 on camera strobes.  #profotoUSA #canonR5 @canonusa @profotousa @profoto

The very last light of the day with a little kiss of light from a #ProfotoB10.  Thanks to the local kids for a little extra interest in the photo.  I think they were trying to "photobomb" the image.  But I was happy to have them in it.  #photobomb #profotoUSA @profotoUSA #profotoB10 #canonUSA #canon5DMarkIV

One of my favorite shots from John and Darcy’s wedding.  It was a beautiful location but a little overcast and in need of some sunshine. So we made it with an extra Profoto B10 behind them, up the stairs and to the left. Shot with two Profoto B10s and a Canon R5. @canonusa #canonR5 @profotousa @profoto #profotoB10

Wide open shade offers the best opportunities for creating. #canonEOSR @canonusa @profotousa there’s a #profotoC1Plus in that lantern. I love that little flash.

Fort Jefferson can be reached by boat or by sea plane. As you might expect, the flight is not dangerous in the least. It is the landing that is a little questionable. It was an experience I will never forget. Especially from the co-pilot seat while the “captain” was blasting Marley on the radio and driving with his knee.  #canon5dmarkiii  @canonusa
