Niece, Niece, Nephew, aka the Triplets, with Studio Lighting

Niece, originally uploaded by SoLostAndFound / Bill Lindsay.

The Triplets. My Mother-In-Law got 5 new grandkids in less then 6 months when first the triplets were born and then our youngest daughter and a nephew was also born. It is great for them since they are all so close in age. I think that my youngest loves the visits just to see all the cousins. I really love the shot of them all together, I think that one came out really cute.

Thanks for looking.

Nephews with Studio Lighting

A few months back I had the garage studio up and when the family came to visit, the kids wanted thier pictures taken. Not all at first, but it turned into that. I will post them by family. These brothers have a cute sister, but I did not get to shoot her here. 

Thanks for looking.

Day 196, The Big Day, Los Angeles California Temple

Day 196, The Big Day, Los Angeles California Temple, originally uploaded by solostandfound.

Here are a few from the big day. I loved how this came out. I didn't love so much some of the others. I am doing a little dodge and burn to fix and some other small manipulations. I am such a perfectionist that these things really stress me out. Not in a bad way, I like shooting them, but it is so important for me to get them right. Not for the bride, I want to make them happy, but for me, they have to be really good for me. I want to be able to hand over shots that will look good for a long time.

Well that is why my wife loves me and sometimes can't stand me. I just can't let somethings go. I want them perfect.

Thanks for looking.

Day 179, Washington Monument

Day 179, Washington Monument, originally uploaded by solostandfound.

In an attempt to shoot things a little differently this time around, I decided to take up a spot by the Washington monument and wait and shoot pictures of people and how they interacted with the monument. These are three that I took. While I put up one in particular, I actually like them all about the same. 

I did just what they do, I shot pictures looking up (see tomorrows post) and touched the stone. I looked at it in a little bit of awe at the scale of it. I have never been around at a time when I could try to go see the inside or climb the stairs. I want to, I just have always been here for work and not for myself. I try to steal sometime to be here and they are open 24 hours. Just not always to go inside. 

Maybe next time.  Even better would be to come here with the family.  Definitely someday.

Thanks for looking.
