“Some songs are just stops on the way to the next one.”

“Writers block is when the pencil is not on the paper”

“Some times you have to let the patient die on the table… You have to be willing to let go of stuff that doesn’t work.”

“The muse will show up, but it likes to find you working” quote from Picasso

During the shoot we photographed 3 attorneys new to the firm and 1 that will most likely be hired (yesterday was his final interview, sounds like he is expecting an offer). In addition, we did photos of the partners for a national ad and to update their website. Below is a photo I grabbed while we where switching between partners for an environmental headshot.

More to come…

MCDS junior varsity boy basketball bested Hebrew Academy 52-40 in one of the worst refereed games in recent memory. Playing strong to the end, MCDS didn’t let it affect the outcome, outplaying Hebreew through the whole game.

Next up, the Spartan’s JV boys against Marathon…

At 4:30 this afternoon the Lady Spartans will tip off for the last home game of their season. Come out and support the Spartans as they take the court against LaSalle high school.

The MCDS men’s soccer team finished their regular season strong, beating Coral Springs, 8-0. Congratulations to them and their “Blue Steel” seniors for a great season.

At the end of the game, the entire team called Florida Hall of Fame Coach Watson from the stands to help celebrate a great season. Coach Watson lead the Spartan’s varsity men’s soccer team for many seasons before moving on to other responsibilities at the school and the announcers booth for all the home games this season.

The varsity men begin district tournament play this coming Monday at 7pm.

In the last home game of the season, the Miami Country Day School Men’s soccer team takes the field against Coral Springs Christian. 6:00pm start time.

Lead by the fired up Blue Steel squad, the MCDS seniors will be looking to crush their opponents as they head into the district tournament.

Jenifer and I have been using Lightroom since version 2 for RAW processing all of our personal and studio images (I teach seminars and private lessons for LR v. 2 and 3). Version 3 had some great improvements: Better processing algorithm, better noise reduction, better printing control, etc. Lightroom 4 is going to have some of the things we have been waiting for.

• Localized adjustments for white balance, sharpening and noise reduction among other image adjustments
• the ability to move multiple folders at the same time (seems minor but quite a time saver)
• The ability to hide unused modules (we never use the web module, so now we can save that screen real estate)
• A map module that will utilize GPS metadata. This module will allow searching by location for photos as well as importing GPX track log files from handheld GPS units

I have not spent too much time with LR4 beta yet, but this weekend I will be doing a bunch of images processing and I am looking forward to giving it a more intense run through.
