Lighting can be used to add mood and drama to a shot, but it’s overriding function is to describe 3D objects onto a 2D area, be that a computer monitor, a print out or a cinema screen. To put it another way, the light is used to “model” the objects so that on a flat surface we can tell what shape they are, and how one object relates to another.

I met Chantal and Denis through work many years ago. They are wonderful people and I was honored when they chose me to shoot their wedding. Chantal says she’s a big fan of my photography. So she trusted my work and that made the whole experience really wonderful.

For those who don’t know what geocaching is, you should definitely check it out at
geocaching.com. One of the reasons I enjoy it so much besides getting out for fresh air, is that it brings me to locations I’ve never been before. I get to see things I never noticed before even in my own city. Sometimes I’ll be sitting on the couch trying to figure out what do to enjoy a nice sunny day. Well geocaching is the perfect hobby to get you out of the house and go for a walk.

I just spent a week at the Catalonia Bavaro Resort in Punta Cana, Republic Dominican. We were a group of 6 and we all had a GREAT time. It was a great opportunity for me to try the video feature on my Canon 5d Mark II. I used iMovie ‘09 to edit the montage. It’s a great software and very easy to use. It took a long time to put together but with time and experience I think the editing will become easier.

I just got back from a very nice vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Catalonia Bavaro resort. I had every intention to go on excursions and take shots outside the resort, but once I got there I turned into relaxation mode and it just didn’t happen. That didn’t stop me from taking a few photos. It was a really nice resort and I would recommend it to anyone. Me and my wife did go for a long walk outside the resort along the beach. We saw a small town, a few locals and fishermen.
