I was in an odd humor this afternoon. I took my camera out, which I have not done in a while, to try and capture the mood, so to speak. As usual, it did not work out as planned. My tripod and light stand were in the parking lot at my wife’s work in...

This past summer, I shot a fund-raiser for a local school. The assignment was for my local paper and I had four shots published, including this one. The fund-raiser consisted of an auction, which I skipped, and a fiddling contest, which was my focus. I arrived a bit early, so spent a while shooting...
