A Portrait of my friend and client Dr. Sanford Severin and founder of the East Bay Eye Center in San Ramon. I met Dr. Sandy due to an eye issue I was having. It was a serious thing and at one point my vision in my right eye was at risk. To make a long story short, everything turned out fine for me and the good doctor and I have been friends ever since. I've worked on his book preparing a digital copy to put on his website which I built and you can find at trienergetics.net to review. Look back later, we are preparing some videos to go on Dr. Severin's blog as well. This portrait was shot in his office with my old Canon D40 with one light. Used Lightroom for the basics and OnOne software for touch-ups and effects. Skip Kuebel, Photographer skiptown@comcast.net

My tennis buddy Patrick asked me to photograph his daughters prom party last weekend. What a nice group of (kids?) well more like young adults. They were fun, polite, and we had a great shoot. First we started out at the San Ramon fountain off Bollinger. There was one wedding party, two portrait shoots and us, all there at the same time, so we had to maneuver to find space to get the shots we wanted. After an hour or so there, the fun really started when we went out to a nearby park by the high school. I've never seen so many people all dressed up at one time. So we staked out a place by the small lake and then proceeded to the limo area to get some shots. Skip Kuebel, Photographer skiptown@comcast.net

We shot some pictures at the Bollinger fountain in San Ramon and then went over to Central Park to get these photographs. The trees were great the lighting was beautiful the family was into it, the only problem was the wind was blowing about 30 mph! But we pushed on with a few breaks for the little one to warm back up. Here are two shots from the day. If you want to see the rest you can view them on my Flickr site.

I know it ain't New England in the fall, but still not too bad right? This is the fountain in San Ramon. Maybe the saving grace is that it's 72º with no snow!
