the -->CHUBBY BUNNY<-- series: part 2 (san fran)

Inspirations

I first made this blog when I just bought my camera, so that'd I'd be forced to use it (SLRs aren't exactly cheap lol). Later on, I've gotten inspirations from other photographers, or from my "eureka!" moments as I was learning, or from a successful photo shoot, or even from seeing all the comments on my blog. But as fall hits, I usually put my camera down and stop shooting for the winter for some reason. I'd like to change that this year. So, could you help me by leaving a comment? Short, or long, it doesn't matter. Just so I know if there's anyone still checking on my blog. Any ideas of where I can get more inspiration?

And don't forget, I'd still be glad to do portrait sessions with anyone interested for the fun of it. ^^ (Plus, you'll get the prints, I have sooo many credits I need to use up!) Even if you don't live in Portland, you can make a request! (I'll try to make something happen)

Thanks for all your support.

cape lookout

*my favorite star pic!
if you look closely, you'll notice that all the stars seem to rotate around a center star.
what's that center star?

of course, I had to take another one of those classic shots =D

I'm so glad this shot turned out how i wanted it to be!
I wasn't sure if the camera could capture all the reflections and the beautiful colors.

(he was modeling for me w/o him even knowing...mhuahaha)
