So my cousin Jeffrey is visiting from Australia and it turned out to be a perfect photo opp. Here's Jeff chillin' at Cafe Bianco in SF. Then I decided to try using a couple of textures on it. Which one do you prefer?

OCF Self Portrait - Week 3

It wasn't freezing out this week so I decided to try and take advantage of the warmer weather and try to find some Christmas lights outside for this weeks image. Well, turns out downtown San Mateo is pretty weak when it comes to holiday lights. But Jason and I found this tree that was pretty well lit. Two flashes here, key light on camera left and a little rim light directly behind. Next time, I'm making a note to make sure the pose doesn't make it look like I have a big belly. It's the lighting, I swear...

So, I know its been a while since I was actually at the workshop. But I've maxed out on my laptop's hdd capacity and going through some old stuff when I realized I didn't really look at any of the images I took during our last day in Los Angeles. So here's one that I liked. Below is Angela, she's one of photographers in the workshop and graciously posed for several of us that final day. You can see blog here.

Same photo, but with a filter effect applied. I just wanted to try it out and kinda like this one

Both side-by-side. Which one do you prefer???
