Jer & Min Photography

My beautiful wife Melinda is one of the most kind, caring people I know.  She has incredible patience (a must to be around me) and a great sense of humor.  This month we celebrated our 11 year anniversary.

This picture is #5 in my 100 People I know set.

I caught this photo of Toby resting his head on Min’s shoulder as I was chimping my exposure getting ready to take a few family portraits.  I liked the peaceful look on his face.

Strobist: ISO 100, f/5.6, single flash camera right shot through a shoot through umbrella.  Triggered with CyberSyncs.

Toby is a very interesting boy.  There is something about him that draws people to him.  He has the ability to wiggle his way into anyone’s heart.  He is a fun loving boy who let me shoot a lot of photos of him last night, (100+) and in everyone he had a different facial expression.  He likes to make people laugh and is very good at it which sometimes gets him in trouble!

This picture is #4 in my 100 People I know set.

This is my first published shot with off camera flashes.  I had many others strobist shots that turned out better, but none of my children being children.

My children love to read.  We are constantly walking past their rooms at night and finding them with a flashlight or some other lighting device reading.  It is great.

Strobist Info: 1 Gelled flash at 1/32 power held by my son.  Triggered by CyberSync triggers.

I shot this using a glass bread pan filled with water with just a touch of cooking oil added in.  I set the bread pan on a couple of drinking glasses and had a bright colored dress below.  I then used my tripod and my macro tubes and here is the result.

I love to see tulips come up through the snow.  Its a sign the snow is fading and is the first green we see.
