Sleeping Beauty

Here’s another image of our “furry child”, Mackenzie. She photographs so well in Black & White. I love the “texture” in this image. You’ve probably also noticed the “M” shaped thing in the logo I designed for her. It’s supposed to represent the shape that’s in her forehead. When her eyes are open and she’s sitting upright, it looks all the more like the one in the logo.

Onto another subject, but still about photography; I’ve read some great books on the subject lately that I want to pass on to you guys. “The Digital Photography Book” series, volumes one, two and three by Scott Kelby. If you want to make sure your photographic foundation is strong and take your skills to the next level, this series is a must read. Each page features a photo with a tip or technique. I devoured these books one after the other. I’ve known for years that Scott is a ninja in Photoshop, but recently discovered that he’s also a photographic ninja! The guy can photograph anything.

Another book I’ve enjoyed reading recently is “Within the Frame” by David duChemin. It’s another read that will inspire you and help you take your “photographic vision” to the next level.

I check out these two guys’ blogs as well as Joe McNally’s, a few times a week for inspiration.
