If you missed the photos from yesterdays post - here's the slideshow
.... from yesterday's engagement photo shoot.
Kathryn and Duane - a lovely young couple. She is in the medical field and he is in farming. They remind me very much of my engagement shoot with Amanda and Jason. Same professions, same young love. :)

Engagement Session
Young Love....
There are some real perks to being a photographer. :)
This is Kathryn and Duane.
Love getting to know and working with a young couple in love. David and Duane talked farming - inoculants and such....
Kathryn and Duane are getting married in October - which is a perfect time of year to get married.
David and I will celebrate 32 years on October 6th this year.

Cards
I have been designing my own greeting cards with my photos.
I can put any print on any of the cards.
Or they can be printed onto canvas.

More Eva
... because she is so much fun to photograph and because I didn't get to the chapter on B&W in CS5 as I had hoped. You can only read/study so much at a time. The brain didn't get much of a rest this weekend from my work week. And with that cake I ate on Friday - well......
Plus I was distracted by a wedding portraiture DVD that also arrived Friday. For the photographers out there - Doug Gordons Bride and Groom Glamour Flow Posing. The jury is out on whether it was worth what I paid for it. I will give it all a try with my shoot next weekend and let you know.
So I feel like I have been in class all weekend - I did get the laundry done. And ate too much.

Beacon Hill Park
Last night I picked up Scott Kelbys "the Adobe Photoshop CS5 book for digital photographers"
Scott is known for his long titles.
I have read a few of his books. Lightroom 2 and Digital Photography. I love his style of writing - I stay awake! I also love to read the last paragraph of his acknowledgments page. :)
Anyways, it is a BIG book and will take me about six ~ 12 hr days to get through. So far I have been at it for 5 hrs and the book is worth every penny it cost me because now I can use Adobe Bridge with proficiency. YAhoo! CS5 is no longer a stranger. We have met and are getting to know each other. I tell it my favorite things and it remembers every one of them. :) Unfortunately I don't remember everything it tells me. Also learning to understand Adobe Camera Raw - normally I use Lightroom to process all my Raw photos.
Here are some of the photos I worked on today as I plodded thru Adobe Bridge. No photoshop stuff here - just minor white balance adjustments in Camera Raw.
These are from our trip to Victoria this month following my fathers death. On this day, David and I walked through Beacon Hill park with my Mom and brother and just enjoyed all the nature and new life around us.
A Blue Heron - if you want to see his beady little eyes just click on the photo. Click your back browser to return - it may not open in a separate tab/window.

Stay tuned. I will be working on photos of Tanis soon. Hoping to perfect B&W's by Sunday evening.

The Dead are Still Alive
“Let us settle it in our minds, that the dead are in one sense still alive. From our eyes they have passed away, and their place knows them no more. But in the eyes of God they live, and will one day come forth from their graves to receive an everlasting sentence. There is no such thing as annihilation. The idea is a miserable delusion. The sun, moon, and stars – the solid mountains, and deep sea, will one day come to nothing. But the weakest babe of the poorest man shall live for evermore, in another world. May we never forget this!”
