It began with Flowers Bugs and Lizards

1/1/2013

I started night life photography back in 2011. I was sitting at Lotus Downtown sulking in the idea that I had just broke things off with a really special girl. By this time I had dabbled in nature photography with my dad's old Nikon D100 that he had sent me for my birthday. My stuff was decent, thanks to a house mate I had who happened to be a combat photographer for the United States Marine Corps. He had Nikon D700 at the time with a case full of Nikon lenses. The photo on the left is still one of my favorites from that period of time.
I was approached by a photographer named Ana Medina. Canon 5d that really caught my interest with a big plastic thing on the top flash (Gary Fong Lightsphere).

"What is that?" I asked.

"Its a flash diffuser" Ana replied.

"Who do you shoot for?"

"Dosomethingtonight.com"

I then whipped out my phone and showed her my photos of flowers, bugs and lizards. I was thrilled, she liked my work!

She said "Come shoot with me next week."

"What?! No, no, I don't shoot people, I'm way too shy for that." I hesitantly replied.

"Just bring your camera next week, I'll show you how."

So I did. She tricked me, well... maybe not... but I didn't JUST bring my camera, I ended up shooting, and I liked it and made new friends.

Thanks for sharing this post with us, I am working in Flowercornerbali as a florist. Flowers are great for making impressions that last. They can be used to say happy birthday, thinking of you, I love you, thank you, sorry and so many other things. Every day, many gifts change hands when people want to send regards that are thoughtful to loved ones and friends. The kind of present that you pick speaks volumes about you.

Planting the right blooms has uncovered how natural nursery workers pull in valuable creepy crawlies, for example, ladybugs, ground scarabs, lacewings, and different bugs that feast upon undesirable bugs. If you would like to know about flowers visit our website lovebyroses.com

I am really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A small number of my blog audience have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
