I was just hired out of the blue to take some pics of Senator Murkowski! This will be my second political figure in a half year time! I am still just as nervous as I was when I snapped a few of Palin last winter. I think this is called 'the thrill of the hunt' feeling. Really exciting yet scary! The pit of my stomach is knotted. OOOOOOO can you see the excitement?:barb

Wish me luck!:thumb

Now off to the store for extra flash batteries!:clap

    Too cool! Good luck! My 2 cents: get some shots from a high angle, perhaps her staff can help you with a suggestion. Use the sparingly, bounce it if possible.

    Hey thanks guys! It went rather well. Lisa Murkowski is a very friendly sort and I found her to be as friendly and down to earth as Palin. She definately cared for the people and showed interest in everyone she met. Asked alot of questions to the average person and listened to what they said. I was impressed.

    Didn't have any problems other than the lithium batteries getting hot in my flash. Seems like that happens alot with lithium. The other batteries don't seem to heat up like that. Anyone else have that problem?

    I am downloading to my computer now so hopefully will have them on my smug account in a day or so.

    I was browsing your website and noticed some spelling errors, I am always being corrected myself on this and I appreciate it when someone corrects me so I think I will pass it on. :)

    This is the one that caught my eye

    Thank you Prezwoodz. Alot of the albums I make when I have been working long hours as part of the late nights...so I miss things. I appreciate any heads up on it.

    I finally have the gallery for the Senator Lisa Murkowski shoot. It can be viewed at http://jagcreations.smugmug.com/Business .
