Haven't posted in a while, so here's a shot I snapped Saturday of a fellow firefighter just after both of us went on our first structure fire. Now that I see the possibilities, I figure I'll probably re-shoot sometime and do a better job, but for now I'm happy with it. :D

    I like the idea, and cute smile. She does seem a bit soft.

    I agree with all the above. This is definitely a shot that I would want to re-shoot as it has all kinds of potential. You just missed the mark with the focus. Her face is slightly soft because, it appears, that the focus was on the grill screen of the truck just to camera left of her face. The lady is very attractive, very nice smile and lot of possibilities.

    Cool location, but awkward framing, I'd definitely re-shoot it another time =).

    Awesome! This pic was taken within a mile of you then, at station 61. :D I go to Wonderland quite often to rig and walk slacklines. If you see a bunch of people walking a sort of a stretchy tightrope there, stop by and say hi! I'm actually over in the Colony area now, but Wasilla still fits.

    Thanks for the comments all, I'll definitely have to re-shoot.

    We just moved from the colony area to where we are now... too funny.

    Man hasn't Pioneer Peak been amazin' lately?

    Always! And you should see it from my front yard, across an open field when the sun goes down. Makes me mad I don't have an SLR. :(
