#808. Waiting for Supper

Went out to George Ranch Historical Park in Richmond, Texas yesterday and caught a shot of a soldier waiting on his supper. I asked what was cooking and he would only say "you don't want to know"! :-)

Taken last night at "The Capital at St. Germain", a new dining and live entertainment venue in downtown Houston. This is Cas Haley who came in second in Americas Got Talent's second season. The venue and the show were great! Search youtube.com for "Cas Haley Walking On the Moon" to see his initial performance on Americas Got Talent."

#806. Coppola

Taken last night. I haven't been shooting much lately due to having a very busy spell at work and a general lack of ideas. I decided to try my hand at my photo club's assignment topic this month to see if I could get moving again. The assignment was "Staged" with a definition of "An arrangement of people or objects arranged by the photographer." Hard to get together a group of people with enough patience to give me time to make a successful image so I went with the "objects" option. I am pleased with the results and will definitely be trying a bit more of this type of still life photography in the future.
