You surf the Net day after day and after a few weeks you’ve visited hundreds of web sites.  Through all the years maybe thousands.  You take for granted all the work that goes into the construction of web sites and maintaining ‘em.  Not to mention the know-how;  the education of learning how to do this stuff.  Suffice it to say, I’ve grown to develop great respect for those that have built nice sites.  We here are still “under construction” and will plow ahead little by little trying to carve out our little space in the great expanse that is the Web.

Not sure there that there’s a prettier setting than Spring Lake for an engagement photo shoot.  It was July 17th and we headed out to Devine Park on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at the “golden hour” for optimum lighting.  A splash of fill from my speedlite here and there did the trick.  RM handled the video (soon to be up as well).   Arianna and her fiance Andrew did the rest.  Made it easy for me.  Here’s a sampling.
