Photography, Leatherwork and Costuming
Yesterday was the first Nashville Roller Girls double header bout. Nashville won both bouts and it was a great time. Here are a couple of sample pictures.

The nice folks who run both MTAC and GMX have listed me as a recommended photographer for those needing shots for the ConKitty auditions. I am honored to be recommended and hope to be able to assist people with getting the photos that they need for their entries if I am able.
If you need assistance with photos for this, please don’t hesitate to contact me so that we can set something up.
This last weekend was the first convention of the year that I attended, Chattacon in Chattanooga, TN. I worked for part of the con at the beer booth, and also had a photographer badge, even though I didn’t snap that many shots over the weekend. This con is always a great time, and a good chance to catch up with people that you haven’t seen since Dragon*Con in many cases.
They had the band Arc Attack there and i was able to get some decent shots of their show that is conducted using singing Tesla coils.
Here are a couple of samples.

It has been a bit since I have updated, and I plan to work through some backlogged pictures that I have, but the holidays have taken up most of the extra time that I have had recently. I finally have my seamless paper set up in a permanent place at my house, so I hope to get some more people over to get some costume pictures as they are able.
Another thing that I would like to do this year is to get out on some trips where I focus solely on photography. I would like to do a couple of weekend trips on the motorcycle to try and find some nice remote spots to take some pictures. I need to get out the maps and see what kind of trips that I can plan.
One of the final things that I am working on is on using different off camera lighting where I am not shooting against the seamless paper. This involves quite a bit of trial and error, but the best way to get it right is by practicing. I also hope to acquire a new camera body later on in the year and maybe a new lens or two as money allows. As of now, I am thinking of a Canon 7D, but there is a chance that I will go with a full frame camera, but I have plenty of timeto research my options.
I hope everyone is off to a great start to the new year.
I had the pleasure of attending the annual Watertown, TN Veteran’s Day World War 2 reenactment this past Saturday. Each year they do a mock battle where the allies liberate the town from German occupation. They use blanks, and everything that they wear must be proper to the period. It was a great site to see. My friend Ivan started doing reenactments, and I am glad that he told me about this event.
