Although they are posing I took a candid photo just a few seconds before. They caught me and asked me to take another photo so they can keep it and I gave them my card. They have yet to contact me for the photo! Maybe its just not that good. If you know them – let them know. Obviously, the candid did not come out as that would be what I would have displayed here.
Not really an outtake, but I like the way it came out. I used Sony NEX-5 with Leica Summicron 50mm lens to shoot this photo. She is due in January of 2012 and is naming her daughter Sasha (same as my daughter).
From a photowalk near downtown. This is Brian Rose from Google+ wife, I never got her name. The entire walk she was staying in the peripherals of the group. Sniping shots here and there and then checking them. I just happen to snipe one of her. 
A photographer is in deep thought on a photowalk in downtown Los Angeles, California. Her name is Christi Nielsen and her G+ page is located here. Always a good rule to follow think first, act second. From one of the walk near Little Tokyo.
An outtake from a portrait shoot with Nickey Collier in Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory. The Collier family was very fun to photograph and wanted something special to mark an important milestone in their life. Los Angeles downtown is makes for a great background and we got lucky with the weather and sunset colors.
Out for a Photowalk with some Google+ photogs. There are a few people in the Los Angeles area who love to shoot at night. Hooking up with them has been very helpful in both meeting new people and in practicing long exposures and getting out of the comfort zone. This particular night had some of the fastest winds ever in Pasadena. We walked around until past midnight – photographing, chatting.. I had a great time!
From a family portrait session in Griffith Park Observatory. I had so much fun working wit them. There is so much love in this family! Not only that, but they were so funny and I hardly had to pose them. The portraits turned out great – there were so many to choose from and I had a tough time deciding on the keepers.
I have realized that when I re-size images for the web especially for this site I do not do any additional sharpening causing the images to look compressed and un-sharp.
