Studio lighting is finally HERE!!!
So I got my stuff last week and I realized something, since my excitement level was so high ordering the light and the box, I FOR-GOT to order a stand (or better yet) order the stuff as a package so the light has something to sit on. DOH!!! So, to feed the addiction I ran to a local used camera store and bought a cheap stand for the light. As soon as I got home and ripped everything apart like a 5 year old on Christmas day I realized something else... my beautiful and expensive Pocket Wizards don't have a connection for the light. Double DOH!!! Luckily though, I could do it it the old fashoined and ghetto fashion of connecting the light directly into my camera.
So after the glitches in the 'matrix' were figured out, I decided to test some subjects... and what better subject that, you know it, KAMI!!!
First, got his Halloween costume on since I didn't get any decent shots of it... and as soon as he got a bit hot and fussy we took it off and went to plain clothes!

I just can't control myself sometimes.
Its crazy. The more photography equipment I buy, the more I want. These days, its not so much the cameras and lenses as it is lighting and studio stuff. I just can't seem to get enough of this hobby. If its not one thing, its always another. So last night, I ordered an Alien Bees light with a medium Softbox so I can learn about studio photography... and then some. But of course, you can't have the lights and not have triggers to set them off, so I bought some Pocket Wizard radio slaves for the light and my camera too.
Just seems nothing is getting cheaper. Everything is so expensive, I think its a conspiracy. They make it expensive so you have to have it and then you just wait and wait, and save and save to get it. Then when you get it, it just fills that void for a few months until you want more... then the cycle starts all over again!!! Damn these expensive hobbies. Damn them all to hell... its going to make me go broke. But I love every second of it.

Pumpkin patch
Yesterday we took Kami, Tatum, and Aiden to the pumpkin patch by Angie's house. Took some pictures, but Kami didn't like it. AT ALL!!! Kept crying everytime we put him down to take pictures. Tatum on the other hand, she loved it... until she saw the P-A-R-K and was told she couldn't play in it. :(
Well, here are some pictures from yesterday. Kami is going to get a second chance at this on Tuesday at a patch near our house. Hopefully he'll like it then.
One guess when this picture of Tatum was taken!!!

Trying something new
Well, not completely new... the beard is already gone. Can't stand that kind of stuff for more than a few days. But the haircut, the haircut is here to stay for a while. I think procrastination and getting tired of paying more and more for "stylists" led me down this path. But I must say, I LIKE IT!!!

My boy is 7 months old...
ITS GOING BY TOO FAST!!!
CAN'T. TAKE. ENOUGH. PICTURES.
Its unbelievable. I go to work in the mornings, and I can't wait to come home... not because I want to go home and don't want to work (that's a different story), but because I can't wait to see my boy's smiling face every time I walk into the room for the first time. At night when I get home late, its almost saddening when I come home and he's already asleep! I want to take so many pictures of him, but that would mean the next baby has to get the same treatment, and thats a tall order when you have two kids.
So for now, 'some' pictures will do. And these pictures are him at 7 months. Unreal how fast they change... even in a 1 month period.
I think he sees the "holy light" in this pictures... and that light is my flash. haha
