After taking some time to read a xmas gift/book that my good friend Eleise Theuer purchased for me, Annie Leibovitz at Work, I thought of a good idea. I am going to attempt to document life for a year. I am going to post some of my favorite images weekly to the blog. I also came up with Parameters to live by. If you see me with a camera, you will know why. I don't plan on using any wedding images when culling my favorites down. Those get their own posts :)

1) Everything will be shot with natural light

2) I will only use my 50 f1.4 or 28 f1.4

3) Very little photoshop corrections to skin, etc.

4) The majority of the images will be toned to emulate a look I love with grain added in

5) All images shot through the D3 at JPEG fine. I shoot all my wedding work RAW, so this is a departure from the norm

6) Be diligent about posting my faves to the blog even when things get nuts during the summer

7) Create an artbook at the end of the year and give it to my family as a XMAS gift.

You ready for week one's faves. MERRY XMAS EVERYONE.....:
