Party at Maya's Parents'

This weekend's big event was the going-away/birthday/graduation party that everyone looks forward to.



I carried my camera through the whole cookout. I hate doing that, but I'm pretty pleased with this shot, so I'm not going to complain. This is a photo of Jimmy and Lex hamming it up for another camera. Obviously I tweaked the color a bit - also I did a little bit touch-up on some faces.

Close on Sam

The TVEyes holiday party was at paddle-tennis courts at the country club. We ate chili and played paddle tennis. I caught Sam, up-close, in a moment of sitting. She wears a Santa hat.


I had a good time with this shot. It's burned and back-lit, but I really like the desaturated look of the photo - I only had to do minor tweaking of the NEF. Sam's a good sport, I probably took about 20 shots - in various stages of hanging-out.
