Home of Dave Cohen

One of my goals this year is to get better at taking pictures of people.  One of the hardest things for me is the ability to get my “subject” lighted correctly.  Last night Meg was kind enough to spend a few minutes posing.  I like the results.  Much better than my first try with her when she first came home from Africa.

Thanks for taking the time honey!

Its been over 6 weeks, but finally Meg comes home today.  I took a quick break from trying to get the apartment in some sort of order to do a little playing in the studio.  I gotta say that its quite a pain in the arse trying to focus the camera when there’s nothing to focus on till you run around and get in front of it.
