a wider view of the world

A lot of people aren't comfortable with being shot with the wide angle lens because of the distortion. But once they see some shots, many come to love it. Personally, the Canon wide-angle 10-22mm is one of my favorite lenses. It was made for dogs, and people.

It's also great for architectural shots. :)

the most wonderful time of the year?

This time of year seems to come sooner and sooner every year. I'm speaking, of course, about the holidays. I first spotted Halloween decorations in a store about 3 weeks ago (maybe more). I freaked out! It's still the first week of October, but there are houses in my neighborhood already decorated and decked out for Halloween.

Holiday cards, portraits, gifts ... that's what people will be thinking about soon. Yay.

It's getting colder outside too; time to move much of the shooting indoors. This is a test shot of me and my husband in the studio. It's very "fall" looking. :) But today, it was about 80 degrees.

Thanks goodness for Los Angeles and its bland, warm weather.
