Put me in Coach....

T-Ball season is upon us, and yesterday was the Tigers first game.  I enjoy the games because it's always a great time for me to catch some shots.  Remember, even professional photographers take pictures of the
"everyday-ness" of life - with no extra lighting, reflectors, etc....

Here is a look at one of those "every days".

McElligott Sneak Peek

What good can come out of being sick in bed, with no voice, and no phone?  A FULL day of post-editing with the McElligott family!  What is better than having to stare at a screen filled with 3 handsome boys!?  Their personalities shined through the entire shoot, and Mom and Dad were great sports allowing them to follow my instructions of "I want you to go beat each other up now"... I promise, no children were injured during this shoot - however we captured some great fun.

I present to you a MoeCakes sneak peek: Mom, Dad, Sean, Caden, & Blaine McElligott

Kampung Walk

This is my first "complete album" of nothing but HDR photography.  Needing a little bit of a change from the typical Jakarta feel, it was my attempt at creating something with a different look.  It lends itself nicely to my style because of the enhancement of vivid detail and color...so much fun to work with.

The kampung we visited (as you can see in the pictures) was a complete oxymoron in itself.  Crowded, rundown, meager living settled directly inside of spacious, new, prosperity of the surrounding buildings lining the skyline.  It made for some great images, but is still difficult to comprehend.  Amidst the pollution, liter and flies, however, you could always find the innocent eyes of the young and hardworking hands and faces of the old.  Quite amazing.

Walking into the market - entering kampung.

New for some... not so new for others.
