The best prop are their hands.
Last night, I struggled. And, I mean "really" struggled. As in wanting to call it quits two frames into this engagement session.
The sad thing was....I was sooo looking forward to this one. I thought I was going to nail it. Unfortantualely, it did not go quite as well as I had planned. Due to multiple factors. Which, I will just save you all the details.
Seriously, in the last few months, I have had to endure weather at a wedding with an unexpected snowfall of 8 inches, chased around two year olds in their back yard to capture them, endured hours with crying newborns, survied yet another wedding on one of the world's hottest days ever with a temps of 103 degrees, and, yet, what I thought was going to be a wonderful and simple engagement shoot....failed.
So much failure, because I know I am my own worse enemy, that I actually have thought about throwing my hands in the air and calling it quits. Sometimes what started out as a mad hobby of mine, somewhere along the lines has turned into a full time job. A full time job that is now not so much enjoyable.
I am thinking I should just call it quits and start shooting just for me. For what photography really means for me.
But, at the end of the day, as much as I struggled...I came across this one and it proved to me all over again why I LOVE what I do. And, even though it may not be my best work ever...I am hoping that I still was able to capture the true them.
The thing is, I want to be perfect...and perfection is not always going to be there. I get that. But I still want to be good at it. And, yet, it frustrates me.
So, I am left once again, chalking it up to yet another experience and lesson learned.
I hope anyway.
the camera almost does it justice...my favorite japanese maple is at the peak of it's color, just in time for thanksgiving...life is good... :-)
wishing you and yours many blessings and much to be thankful for...xo

"Hmmm... how should i start this piece of work ?" It is quite tedious jobs really. If you able to spot the statement on the photos, that's exactly describe the feeling when I am working on this one.
" WHEN LIFE HAS MEET
THE BORDER OF ITS BOTTLENECK
STEP OUT AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH
THE WORLD, ALWAYS IS THE BETTER PLACE ... "
Allow me to summary the sequence to make this effects.
1. Desaturate (b&w)
The floor always been too colorful, so make it mono and easy to fade out the color later.
2. Healing Brush
Selectively stress on the part i wanted to, and fade out the floor colors.
3. Enhance colors
Even had the healing brush is powerful, but again colors still need to boost up a bit.
4. Crop
The crop part is taking much time as i still need to improve and preserve the feeling after crop the image.
5. Frame (Rounded Edge)
This is not really tricky part, you can do it in the flickr app's itself or photoshop CS3.
6. Text (statement)
This can be done in flickr app's or photoshop CS3.
7. Color Balance
I purposely come out with 3 version of it, simply not quite sure which one to choose. Since the warm effect always my favorite, Thus, this time i decided the cold to be the chosen one.

I'm not a stamp collector.
But, I love doing weddings. Working with the couple in sessions leading up to the ceremony, celebrating with their family, receiving the honor of being invited into a very personal event. I get passionate about weddings.
Sometimes, stamps fit who I am!
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel
Turn my head
Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two
You will wait
See me go
I don't care, when you're head turned
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do

London, Chapman and Hall, 1864. 2v.
“It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.”
Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway is a favored spot. It has views in many directions and is a relatively quick to get to spot from Maggie, Waynesville, Cherokee area.
The evening was going to be overcast but it's usually worth a trip to see what will happen at a higher elevation. The clouds extended to the horizon but it looked as though the sum might pop into sight just before dropping below the horizon.
That would have a stunning effect on the cloud layer. But not this time. Sometimes you get subtle but it's always worth the effort.
