and now for something completely different ..

                              Boathouse Studio/ Tomba-Images   Lake Beulah, Wisconsin, Illinois

It's good to photograph different items, the challenges that come with different lighting and in this case different surfaces (various oil paints) and textures can only help how I photograph everything.

Yesterday , I was commissioned to photography various pieces by local artists Alicia and Chris Perales. Here's a few of those pieces ..

If you need to contact Alicia or Chris regarding the above items, feel free to call or text me at 630-258 8930.

I love it when the after party is a fun place that you dont have to drive to!  She isn't on the card but Shayne Adams and Rob Morrow are ..Come check out the big boys tommorow night.
