Rachel and Jacob - Engagement shoot 10/09/10

Just a cutie pie, that's all!

Today's work....

Here is some recent stuff I've been working on....  

Autumn Song

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf

How the heart feels a languid grief

Laid on it for a covering,

And how sleep seems a goodly thing

In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

And how the swift beat of the brain

Falters because it is in vain,

In Autumn at the fall of the leaf

Knowest thou not? and how the chief

Of joys seems--not to suffer pain?

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf

How the soul feels like a dried sheaf

Bound up at length for harvesting,

And how death seems a comely thing

In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

From today's shoot......  what a cutie pie!!!!

9/11 Bud Commercial - AIRED ONLY ONCE

To Clarify or Not to Clarify

That is the question.  There is a photog in town that does really really well.  But - and I say this in a non-negative way, they CLARIFY all of their photos as well has photoshopping so much that there is no freckles, pores, etc....  So here is my question, and I probably won't even get an answer but, I'll be pondering this until someone helps me out.

Do people like it better when this is done, or would they prefer to look like they naturally do?
I'll post a couple of examples...  and btw, the clarifying filter is for Corel Paintshop Pro.

I realize it might just be personal preference.......       any comments are welcome.  :D

Have a great FRIDAY!!!!
