TAA DAA!

Here it is. The official logo for Rejoice Photography. How great is this? Next step... printing cards.

LOGOS, LOGOS, and more LOGOS

Today was the last day that graphic designers could post a logo to my project on Crowdspring.com. Its been ten days, and I had not gotten many posts at all. There was one designer who was working hard to give me what I wanted , who was posting a lot of changes to his original design. Unfortunately it wasn't making me jump up and down. Then last night, all of a sudden the entries started to come in. And when it closed an hour ago, I had 41 to choose from. I love several of them, which means the hard part is deciding which one to go with. I think I have decided, but I want to run it by one more person. If he likes it, I will officially have a logo. I am so excited!!

I took went out to take some shots of an old factory the other day and it turns out my son and his girlfriend, wanted to be in the pictures too. They are cute, so I didn't mind... Heres one.

Capture Cincinnati

A friend recommended that I enter one of my photos in a competition. The winners get prizes and also a chance to have your work included in the Capture Cincinnati coffee table book. Sounded like fun, so I entered a few shots, then I entered more and more...now I am hooked. My shot of Joy with the Cicada has been in the top picks for the last two days in the People catagory.

Wow are there a ton of photographers in the Cincinnati area. I can't believe how many entries there are. Its really fun seeing the work of other photographers and a little scary letting them see mine. Going thru my shots has helped focus me again. Those lazy hazy days of summer have a way of sapping my resolve and letting the lethargy seep in. NO MORE! I posted my project for my logo today and on 7/30, I should have my logo so I can get business cards printed. In the mean time, I took an assignment from Capture Cincinnati to take shots of local events and went out to the balloon fest this weekend. It was a magical sultry evening.

Pictures, PIctures, Pictures

Its been a busy couple of weeks. I bought my domain, and am working on getting a logo created so that I can get business cards printed up. I found a cool site where graphic designers compete for your business, its called crowdspring.com. I think I am going to use it to get some work done. Last week, my sons girlfriend Jess, agreed to let me shoot some pictures of her. Its easy to see from these pictures why she was Little Miss California a few years back. She is as sweet as she is pretty.

Then last weekend, I did some shots of a friend of mines little girl. Ofcourse the weather didn't quite cooperate, but we were able to work around it. What I couldn't do anything about was the Cicadas. And this child LOVED THEM! We had to take as many pictures of the Cicadas as we did of her. Ofcourse, she is a doll, so the pictures were all cute, but this one tells the best story of the day.
