Dining Page

More food photos from the weekly dining review page. Since the last food posting I've messed around a little more with composition and made more use of the setting in some of the shots. I've been told that we've covered almost every restaurant in Vero at this point so I've photographed quite a few plates in the last few months.

OK, Look Right In Here.

I shoot a lot of portraits. Half of my time is spent trying to keep from shooting posed photos. I'm a big fan of photographing people doing things. When I get an assignment to shoot a portrait I always try first to figure out if the subject has any upcoming plans to do something relevant to the story that I can just show up to and actually document. Upon arriving I often hear "What do you want me to do?" To which I respond, "Just pretend I'm not here. Do whatever you would be doing if I weren't here. I'll do the rest. That's what I do." Sometimes it works. Sometimes I'm left with no choice but to do a standard portrait. Honestly, neither situation is easier than the other to shoot anyways. Here is a small selection of portraits from the last few months. I've been wanting to post some of these for awhile now but haven't been able to force myself to decide which ones to show. Here's just a random handful to get something of my portrait shooting up on the photo blog. There are so many more. Maybe they'll make it into a future post.

Birds and a Bug

No people in this post. Just some birds on an old abandoned dock in Sebastian, Fla., a couple of shots of birds on power lines on an overcast day, and a white bug I found camouflaging itself on a white door frame. The third photo reminds me of musical notation.
