pink guitar

I've got a big assignment this coming weekend and really wanted to spend some time with Hannah before I head out. We planned to go swimming but the swim team had taken over the whole pool. What to do?

Let's go back and play. Hannah got to play with her new pink guitar and had written a song just yesterday. I got to try out my Edirol R-09HR digital recorder as well as my new Alien Bee 800 studio strobe with beauty dish. We were both happy playing with our new toys.

I processed this with a develop preset I downloaded from Lightroom Killer Tips blog(Matt Kloskowski). The preset was called Sin City Light and basically desaturates a bit and boosts the contrast. I look I find myself using for adults but not kids. I think it works okay.

We put together a little show. Nothing more than us kids goofing off with cameras and guitars but I'm quite proud of it, especially to see her write a song. It's a minute long and might take a bit to download.

I think Hannah was inspired by the Brandon Leffel senior portrait show I did last month. She's asked about it several times.
We have a good time playing together.

Two blog posts about my daughter in a row? Hannah has taught me more about photography than anyone I know.
