I Still Shoot…

I still shoot on my day off… I can’t help it. Well I use the term day off loosely, because this isn’t really a day off. I still have a couple photo shoots to process in the computer and have ready to deliver tomorrow morning. I meant that I’m not actually shooting an assignment today.
Anyway, I was “off work” today and took the two older boys to a birthday party for their friend. I don’t like carrying a bunch of camera gear with me when I’m with the family, because I want to simply enjoy the moment with them. I want to stop having this need/desire to capture it like I’m shooting some photojournalism piece. However, I usually break down and grab a body, a couple lenses and a flash. I can’t help it.
So, as you can see below, I got some nice shots of the “best friend” brothers posing for a snapshot and their friend in action. At least their father’s addiction/compulsion/obsession will give them a lot of nice photos to look back on as they grow older. You’ve got to love the look of that 85mm 1.8f prime lens!
