Notes from the Studio

Before I had kids I would take time to go out and photograph for myself. The joy of this was I had lots of time and no pressure. Now that I have kids, it’s really hard to find the time to shoot for myself. I see lots of things that I want to stop and photograph but with kids, I have other agendas. The other day, we were at a fair and I wanted to spend the time walking around photographing but I had to be a dad and enjoy the rides with my kids. Don’t get me wrong, I love the rides! We found one roller coaster with no lines and no adults allowed so the kids rode it over and over again. This gave me about 15 minutes to photograph the things right in front of me. It wasn’t what I was hoping for but I was still happy with the results.

try to have a camera w/ you at all times, a small pocket-sized point and shoot always gets the job done and allows you the freedom to document w/ your camera

I always take my Canon 1Ds mark III with me. It’s big and heavy but I want the quality so I put up with it. My main problem is finding the time.

These are great. I have two girls and i took my camera with me to a recent fair. I loved the pictures I got of their hair blowing through the wind on one of those fast rides and the enjoyment in their faces. I have a 1DS Mark II and love taking it around. Heavy at times but like you said, it’s worth the image quality. Thanks for sharing. I’m about 30 min south of you in San Jose :)

I can relate to this; they sure do change your life don’t they!
