Life's not fair

If it was, I would have been blessed with some of her good looks.

Crystal

Yeah, that's my beautiful sister, Crystal.
Crystal and her roommate, Hailey, wanted to get some pictures taken and as you can imagine, I was only too happy to oblige. To date, this shoot was the most fun I've had taking pictures. It was also a chance for me to experiment a little bit. I tried out different lighting and switched up my lenses. I usually shoot with my 18-55mm lens (while a patiently wait/save for a 50mm f/1.4 lens). After studying a bit more on lenses I decided I really wanted to try my 55-200mm lens on a portrait shoot. Several different photographers suggested it as a portrait lens (which surprised me) because you can use the zoom to get a tight shot without having to stand so close to the subject. If you are shooting within a foot or two of the subject the nose tends to widen and ears disappear. Anyway, I tried it, and loved it. Enough gabbing lets move on to some more pictures...

Yes, your sis is super cute (but it definitley runs in the fam!) but what I'm wondering is WHERE is this shoot taken???

It totally looks like downtown in the little place that I grew up in WY-- Rock Springs... blech, don't know why you'd be there, but it's a SPITTING IMAGE of our downtown... complete with the YELLOW CABOOSE thingy!!!!!!
