I finally convinced her to do so and even though we had to deal with a little harassment at the beach, I’m really happy with the way the photos turned out. It’s really nice to take photos outside of a convention.

It wasn’t a terrible experience, I actually enjoyed it. It was hard work and I was exhausted afterward, but good to know nothing has really changed since my absence. I was asked to take photos of the Mass by one of my clients because it was a big deal in their culture. Monday is a big holiday for them (not Columbus day).  The Mass was in Portuguese, so I only understood so much. I went to Catholic school for ten years, church 3-4 times a week. Yeah…

Anywho, this photo was taken at the gorgeous St. Patrick’s Cathedral near Rockefeller Center. The priest was a very nice man, I met him briefly after the ceremony. The Mass itself was about two hours. Trying to keep up with the many things going on definitely gave me a run for my money. All in all it was a nice experience, though I don’t plan on making a habit of it.

The lighting was terrible, so I had to shoot ISO 1250. Wish they had let me use my tripod.

To me, they are incredibly dynamic. In fact, the photo that made me want to be a photographer was a photo I took of a seagull. I love wings a lot. The way they move is so breathtakingly artistic.

This little guy was singing his heart out in Central Park. I was lucky enough to catch his delightful tune. Igot a photo of him taking off as well, but it’s slightly blurry and I do not post blurry photos, no matter how much I might like them This is my first vertical photo post!
