Lindley Creek Bluegrass CD Jacket

/

Back in the Fall we worked with a Gospel Bluegrass group, Lindley Creek. The group is made up of the Greer Family. We had a number of projects which included a CD, CD Jacket, event posters, prayer cards and business cards. We created all design elements in house with our photography. The group photos and individual photos were shot by Anna Jaarda.

We did a few things to have fun with the project in our photography studio producing  design elements which included the canvass, a hoop and various strands of thread. A trip to the hobby store really helped this design to come along. A conversation with Kathie Greer really helped with grasping the concept of the project. The Title Song, "There Is A Plan," was the inspiration for the cover.  If you look at the back side of a needle point, it doesn't look very pretty, when looking a the front, you will see the beautiful finished work. This is a picture of how we must see God. We don't understand all of his ways, but there is a plan and a beautiful finished work being done on us.

I shot three deer while out doing my day job photographing for my other company, InsPictures.com LLC. I saw these deer plus mamma and pappa deer. I would have photos of them, but they didn't come out to my expectation. 

Ansel Adams once said, "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop." I don't think I have 12 significant photographs. I think only impressed myself twice this year. This particular photo did not turn out as good as I had hoped, however, it was still an interesting sight that I wanted to share with you. The good news is that I am always in search of a significant photograph.

Greenfield Village

Last weekend I went with a few photographer friends to Greenfield Village.  They have been begging me to post my pics, but hey, perfection takes time. This trip for me was to be more artistic than photographic. It was a fun time hanging out with friends while getting to practice my craft.

Check out some black and white and tilt shift work applied to these photos.
