Personal blog of photographer, father, and technology geek Steve Jackle.
When I was growing up, my grandmother and grandfather would tell stories about my father and my uncles when they were younger. If the behavior was a little mischievous, my grandfather would say “boys will be boys.” In my house, I am out numbered 3 to 1 so it is “girls will be girls” here. I love it when 5 year old will be relaxed and be their self in the studio even if their father has several strobes firing that could inhibit them.
Here is a kiss goodbye for Nanna! See you soon!
Sometimes things are planned and happen for a reason and other times they are spontaneous and unscripted. In my previous post, I tried a lighting technique on myself using a large soft box real close to my face. Besides that I am not fond of using my camera timer, I wanted to try the technique on someone a little better looking and interesting than me. So I asked Sophie to join me in the studio under the guise that she would be taking pictures of me. She was game for that. I told her I would have to setup the camera and light and after I took a few test shots we would reverse the photographer and model roles. She tired real quick of putting her face close to the light source and pulled my desk chair in front of the light and began to lounge. End result: impromptu lounging shoot.

I am looking forward to the Packers – Giants playoff game this weekend with guarded optimism. The Packers need to take their potential Super Bowl journey one game at a time – no matter what the prognosticators say. If they need to be reminded of this message, just ask limping “Big Ben” and his team from the Steel City. Regular season records and wins do not automatically advance a team in the playoffs. Talent at the skilled positions is not the only thing needed to win playoff games. The key to winning this game will be defense, special teams, and pass protection. The Packers need to stop allowing their opponents more yards that they can generate on offense. Go Pack!
