So I Met This Girl….

05.25.2013 by James // 1 Comment

If you have been wondering what happened to me, it is simple. I met this girl, and a surprising and wonderful thing happened….

A short whirlwind of dating and sharing adventures from the Great Plains to the Gulf of Mexico to the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada to the New England coast, and I knew I had found who I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. After a proposal in Death Valley last year, we decided to have a quick wedding rather than spend a year planning the event. So several weeks later and on stage of an outdoor festival, we exchanged vows and rings and my story changed to something filled with much more laughter and light.

Since then, I have moved and flourished in life and in my technical consulting, photography, and love of nature – even thinking a few thoughts and making a few images. So you can expect to hear much about my world in the future.

Strobist 101 at the Houston MugtoMug

I have been asked to speak and give demonstrations of off-camera lighting at the January 19, 2010 meeting of Houston MugtoMug at The Coffee Groundz from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. So if you have ever wanted to know how to add light to a portrait or other photograph besides the harsh, flat light of the flash mounted on the camera, then please come.

As an example of what I have been able to do since I started on the Strobist journey, please consider these Senior Portraits and other images:

Photographing Dinosaurs

Q: How do you light a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
A: Anyway he wants you to

I have been impressed with the way the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) has taken to social media with their blog and twitter access and reached out to photographers. Some time ago, Erin at HMNS and I had a phone call and HMNS is doing something that I am so excited and jazzed about. On Sunday, March 8, 2009, HMNS will open its doors to those of us in the Houston Strobist group for four hours of after-hours lighting and fun.
