High Dynamic Range

I've been playing around with HDR photography recently.  Here are some photo's from my home-schooling...aka assignments from a workshop book from the public library.

Enjoy.

Working to Learn

AAP has been blessed with an amazing opportunity lately:  Working with the Providence House in Shreveport, LA.

If you follow along, you know that I have a passion for travel.  As of late, though, my heart has been in the non-profit sector.  I have started to feel that I should pour my talents into helping those who help others.

While searching for work I came across a beautiful organization in town called the Providence House.  I'll give you a summary, but really you should check out their website and learn more about them.

The PH is a transitional shelter for homeless families in the Shreveport area.  After starting as a traditional homeless shelter they noticed that the same folks would leave, then find more trouble and return to the shelter time after time.  They saw the problem and took steps to make things right.  Their goal is to break the cycle of homelessness through a system of accountability and education.  Now they rarely see the same family back twice.  In fact, the PH sees an 89% success rate in its families.  This means that 89% of families who complete the program move on to happy, financially stable, productive, full-time-job-working lives.  Awesome, right?

The Newest Demo

Hello.

It's been a way long time, sorry I haven't been keeping up.  I took some time off to deal with the move from Oklahoma to Louisiana.  We are now settled in a new home, a new studio, and new town:  Shreveport, LA!

This week has been dedicated to updating the website, cutting a new demo and writing a few emails.  Now, bring on the work!  I cannot wait to get started and explore all the new possibilities in Louisiana (and maybe Texas too!)

Until next time (which will be sooner, I promise) enjoy the new demo.
