Picking up my son from pottery class tonight I took the time to walk around the studio with my 50mm lens on. I didn’t bring my strobe in with me so working with the available light, and not repositioning anything, created a few challenges with the shadows. This scale, however, seemed to be good position [...]

Took my first stab at creating a bokeh shape effect last night. I simply used a business card, cutout the heart shape, and taped it t the end of my 50mm lens. (Not bad for a first try.) Worked with a few ornaments from the tree, but it’s this photo with the kids’ Buzz toy [...]
Quick shot with a few of the grab-bag toys our kids brought home from a party.
This morning I noticed that the flowers in front of our house have begun to bloom. (OK, they’re probably a few days old… I don’t get out much) Taken with natural light and my wonderful "nifty fifty" lens.
An Old Acquaintance – 055/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. A little something I pulled out of the closet… a Canon Rebel G 35mm camera that a friend had given me. It’s been a long time since I used a film camera, and even then I’m sure I never had a 35mm film SLR. This [...]
Piggin Out – 043/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. A random shot that came out fairly well. One of the kids left their piggy bank in the kitchen, and while I was talking to my wife I kicked off a few photos of it where it stood. I was able to blow out the background [...]

Tap Tap – 027/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. An old fashion telegraph actuator from the desk of a co-worker. I borrowed it for a night and played around with a few different ideas. It seemed to me that doing some abstract photos with a narrow DoF would be kind of interesting. In the end [...]
Game On – 025/365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. Monday was a busy day… not a lot of time for planning a daily photo. I did, however, bring my camera with me while I ran out to get haircuts with my son. After our cuts we played a game of checkers in the barber’s lobby. [...]
Red Wooden Box – 024-365, originally uploaded by JMaz Photo. Sunday at my wife father’s house. There are so many nick-nacks and patty-wacks around his house that it was almost difficult to decide what to shoot. This old red wooden box called to me, with it’s Chinese text liner and shiny domino cargo it really [...]
