More Portraits

my beautiful fiancee
Here is another shot of my beautiful Fiancèe, this time in my studio. We took this one over the weekend. She really enjoyed my white background.

On Halloween I did a photoshoot with Chris Clark, a local musician. Chris is a great guy who was very fun and easy to work with. This shot is one of the few serious ones we took that day. He said he was big fan of not looking “overly serious like most musicians do” in their promo photos. Chris sang in Unlimited, Seattle Pacific University’s premeir choir. Also, before Gabe graduated from SPU, he played bass for Unlimited.

the guts of a speedlite
A little while ago, my speedlite 430ex was broken at a wedding. It wasn’t a big deal because we had a back up and could continue on with no delay, but the repair shop wanted $75 to fix it. I told them I’d check out what other options were out there and get back to them. I called up Canon and it turns out the part actually costs only 3 dollars! And with my background in tinkering with electronics, I was able to repair it in under a half an hour.
