I played around with actions in photoshop for the first time today. I love the way this one turned out.

I just arrived home from New Jersey, and thought I’d post a few of the photos I took there. My cousin Katie had triplets four months ago — a girl and identical twin boys. Here they are:

I have been volunteering for the past few weeks at a program downtown called “Our World In Pictures,” where I have been mentoring young children from low-income families. At the program, we teach the children how to express themselves through photography. Today’s lesson was on portraits, and these are two of my favorites that I snapped while teaching.

This morning I had a little extra time while I was waiting for the triathlon to finish, so I found a few people and shot some feature pictures. When I got back, I figured it would be fun to try some different tools and things on photoshop, especially since I want to start doing more portrait and studio work to go on top of photojournalism.
