Photos of the Week: I am excited to announce that I proposed to my girlfriend last Friday May 11, 2012 and am now engaged. I really like these two pictures that I took with my softbox. The lighting is nice and soft. I think the results turned out beautifully.

Photo of the Week: I was lucky enough to be able to photograph the Acro Cats & The Rock Cats at Cosmic Charlie’s this week. They put on a great show. Be sure to check out their website here: http://circuscats.com/
This was one of the most difficult events I have ever tried to photograph because of how dark the room was. I was dependent on my flash the entire show but I still think I got some cool shots.
