Pumpkin Farm with Kate


I was just thinking the other day, I dont really do much personal work. I have my reasons. For one, I dont get much pleasure photographing things or landscapes or sunsets even. I only love to shoot people. I try my best to not break out the big gun while on vacation and such because the vacation turns into a full on photo shoot. Its hard for me to take it easy. So I guess that the closest thing to my personal work would be my new family. This is my niece, Kate. Cute as a button, but growing so fast that I feel compelled to capture each little stage of her existence. When my wife and I were dating she insisted that she be my girlfriend too. We even took her on her own dates away from her siblings. She was a bit confused, however, when we got married and she couldnt get married too. I had to convince her that having me as an uncle instead of a boyfriend was a way better deal. Some of the shots of my wife Anna and I were taken by little 6 year old Kate. She loves using my camera even though she can barely hold it. The lens we were using is my fixed 35mm. Its taken me awhile to get the hang of it, but it is quickly becoming on of my favorite lenses.

Those pictures are sooo great! You should definitely do personal work more often AND let Kate photograph the two of you!! So precious :) Hey, some other news--we're moving back in 2 weeks! Lets plan a time to hang out! (Clearly, I love exclamation marks!!)

She's lucky to have the Great Cameron Ingalls for an uncle. Looks like she's doing a great job with your camera, too. Lovely story and stunning colors/photos.

I'd love to see you post a side by side comparison of a photo taken with a point and shoot vs. your professional camera someday...

Hello Anonymous!

yeah... I should do that. Except a point and shoot vs. my camera is kinda not fair. Perhaps I could do a post comparing shooting RAW and JPG. Would you like that?

Hi Cameron, Anonymous aka Rachel aka Blog Stalker #4 here. Yes, you could post a RAW vs. jpg, but that wouldn't do anything to convince my husband that we need to buy a high end camera. I've been so inspired by your work that I want to take up a new hobby and our little point and shoot isn't doing the trick for me. =)
