We got the opportunity to visit with Dave and April earlier in the month. April's an amazing artist, and has been working hard to apply to art graduate schools. I mentioned going to her senior show when she graduated. She remembered the pictures I took of her art at that show, and wondered if I'd photograph all of it for her portfolio and new website. Josh and I jumped at the chance to go to Muncie to visit our friends, so our order fulfillment was quick!
The trip, along with being a great visit, was a learning opportunity for me. It's really hard to get a good picture through the glass that most art is mounted behind without glare. Also, getting portfolio-quality pictures without any kind of studio lighting is a challenge. I'm glad April gave me the opportunity to experiment and put up with my silly-sounding requests in an attempt to get the lighting right. I'm still learning!
Also, we got to see Maura, their dog who, last we saw, was a roly-poly puppy. Now she's a gangly mostly-grown husky, and gorgeous! Can't wait to get her and Casey together.
