my first time

hello strangers. since one of my three readers encouraged me to post, i decided why not?!

w asked me to help take some pictures for a dinner event for this non-profit that she is a board member of. since this was my first time being "photographer", i wanted to look kind of important so i consulted my favorite techie t on diffusers (aka expensive tupperware). so after taking 200 some pictures that night i found out two things:

1. I am a wimp and I need to do some strength training cause my arms hurt from lifting up my measly little camera with a flash unit.
2. I realized I have a lot to learn about low light and flash. I fumbled a lot and tested things out. Hopefully one of these days it will just click.

here are the two shots i liked:




and one of our new mayor! woot.


i think the rest will be posted on their web-site sometime in the near future. luckily i wasn't the only one taking flicks.
