A New Website

August 13, 2010 22:15 by dlofgreen

 I have spent some time upgrading my website the last few weeks. Now it's live and I thought I would let you all know and have you go take a look www.lofgreenimages.com. It uses a new javascript gallery system and a totaly new stylesheet. It may not look too different from the last version but it's a pretty big facelift. If you have any probelms with it make sure you send me an email so I can try to fix it.

Senior Portrait Season

August 9, 2010 11:40 by dlofgreen

It's been a little while since my last post. I've been pretty busy with summer activities with the family, and family visitors. It's been a great summer. The other thing that has been keeping me busy is senior portrait season. I have had the pleasure to photographs some great seniors this year. Here below is a few from one shoot. I will post some more in a couple days. Enjoy.


Mamiya 645, 80mm F2.8, Fuji 160C and Kodak 100G

Take That Photograph Now, Don't Wait

May 5, 2010 21:21 by dlofgreen

If you’re like me you are always carrying a camera around with you so when you see a photo you can take a quick capture and move on with whatever you were doing. Sometimes there are things I pass buy everyday and think "I need to take a shot of that", but at the same time you think "I will get it next time I come by". Well guess what, things change. I have learned that a photograph is only there for an instant, even if you think you see it over and over. The light will never be exactly the same again or the colors may not be as intense the next time you get around to taking that photo.

The image above was something I used to see every day. I would walk past this spot outside of an office building as I was going in all the time. One day a few weeks back I took advantage of some snow falling and went back to shoot this shot that I had in my mind for a while. Good thing I did! As of today it is gone. The tree and junipers have been removed for some updated landscaping. If I had waited much longer to shoot this one I wouldn't have it to add to my black and white images. So I learned a lesson, again, that you should always shoot it when you see it because it may never be there again.
