evidence of life photography

Practicing our light-painting techniques for the holiday. Oh, the things you can do with just a camera and light never cease to amaze me. Sure you can fake it in Photoshop, but it's not the same as standing outside in the cold, dressed in all black with your shutterspeed set to 20 seconds and writing in the air. The old fashioned way.

Our latest photobooth and Gramma Jean's Fabulous 80th Birthday Party. Yes, our gamblin',cat-lovin', facebookin', football fanatic Gramma truly is fabulous.

"Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Said the Cat "We're all mad here. I'm mad.You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have co...
