Always keep a camera handy...

I've always been a firm believer in keeping a camera (with charged batteries and an empty flash card) nearby and handy, just in case an interesting photo opportunity should come up during regular daily life activities. Honestly, it drives my friends and family absolutely crazy when they see me run off to my truck to pull out the trusty ol' Nikon, because they just know that an impromptu photo session is about to begin.

Below is a very impromptu image, taken while the Christmas ornaments were coming down.



Teenage girls are so dang' goofy...

Shot with my older Nikon D200. Lit from just above frame with a small Chimera softbox. A Vivitar 285 (at 1/16th power) was inside the softbox.
