Yay point and shoots!

For Christmas this year I got a point and shoot camera, I was so excited!

I've used it so much for everything, it's great to have a camera I don't have to worry about taking a big expensive camera around to places. Also I can simply put it in my pocket or purse. So I would recommend a point and shoot for any photographer, to be able to take fun pictures and also have a camera to take behind the scenes pictures at your photo shoots.

Adapted Sports!

Adapted sports is an amazing organization that has adapted many sports including: track and Field, basketball, soccer, and hand-ball for people with disabilities, all of the sports are preformed in wheelchairs and watching it is absolutely amazing! I am telling you this because they have hired me to photograph at a couple of their games. I've had a lot of fun with it and I hope to continually get hired. To view some of the pictures I took of one of there new basketball teams The Sharks Click here then scroll down and click on the 2009 Basketball Season 1 link. Enjoy! I can't wait to share more images I took for Adapted Sports soon!

Our Christmas Card!

This was the picture I took for our Christmas card this year. That my dad sends to hundreds of people (a lot I don't know). So here's one just for you!

Merry Christmas from Bob, Amy and Robert Lyford! We hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody! Yes those are drunk Santa's! Last year I was in Buckhead with a friend of mine going out to dinner and we saw this line of Santa's bar hoping so what do we do, we go to my car get my camera and start hanging out with them. Some were a little inappropriate but I think I got some really cool shots. For one they even set me up on the bar to photograph them and they loved the attention. Turns out they were a group of Rugby players that does this every year to celebrate the holidays. This image almost made it to my portfolio but we decided it was a little too crude. It was still a night I won't forget and I'm glad I have the images to show for it. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a Santa mooning you!

Found my glasses!

Yesterday I got a phone call from my mom saying Amy guess what your glasses were in my car I tried to put them on thinking they were mine and they didn't work. So now after 3 months of no glasses I can edit in peace once again! So those glasses up there yup there back on my face!

Yay Flordia!

Yay, were heading to the beach to see my grandparents! This is a picture I took last time I was there, I know your jealous. I can't wait to go out and take more pictures to come back and show you guys. Every time I go my granddad, who shares my love for photography takes me around and we go take pictures together!

My finale!

This video is about my time at Gwinnett Tech! I talk about my trip to Spain, my internship and my overall experence at Gwinnett Tech!

Spain!

In September of 2007 I got a chance to go to Spain to study abroad, it was absolutely amazing! we went to Madrid and Barcelona, this is just one of the beautiful sites we had a chance to see. We visited many different museums and Cathedrals. We also got a chance to visit a photography studio there and it was really interesting to see how a studio is another country is run. Unfortunately my hard drive crashed shortly after the trip and I lost a good amount of my images, but I still have some really nice ones and it was an amazing experience! In the video above I tell a little more about my trip!

Studio Burns!

Studio Burns Is the photography studio I interned for while at Gwinnett Tech. It was absolutely amazing! Jerry Burns and Guy Welch. They do all kinds of work from commercial shots to model shoots. One thing I really loved about working there was they really are a family and we just so welcoming. Jerry is also head of the Photography department at Portfolio Center and I think it was really cool that's where most of his assistants have come from throughout the years. Over-all it was an amazing experience and I learned so much. Lets see I became amazing at getting coffee and lunch not to mention studio up-keep, but of course I also got to do fun stuff like help with lighting and I learned a lot about client customer relations. I met some AMAZING people and wouldn't trade that experience for the world.
