Sometimes a photographer can experience a bit of a creative block. No matter what you do, you can’t think outside of the box. That’s where awkwardfamilyphotos.com comes in. When you need to take your photography to the next level, you don’t need to look any further for cutting egde inspiration. I highly recommend a visit to the site. If you see something you like, (and I know you will) let’s make some plans to make your next wedding, bar mitzvah, or family photo a memorable one.

Awkward Solo Photo: Roman Shade

So last week I visited the good folks at GAC in Portland for a press check of a catalog and magazine that featured some of my photos for Stampin’ Up. It was a good experience to see first hand the limitations and possible adjustments of an image on press. I was just as impressed with the city of Portland itself though. My favorite was this trike outside of Powell’s book store. I can’t even imagine taking my kid through downtown Portland on his trike, still I admire the parent that is patient and crazy enough to do it. I think you could only pull it off in a biker friendly city like Portland. I wouldn’t mind living there myself, being a bike commuter. Anyone have a good photo job for me in Portland?
