I am glad the forum is getting back in order, thank you Sean for staying and thank you Jerry for your patience.

I was commissioned by the church congregation to take an unusual photo of their newly restored church. the church was built in the middle 1770's. its a beauty. it just went through a total restoration. the steeple was in danger of falling.
I hope you like it.

Peace.

Hi Everyone, thanks for all the nice words. Photoshop is my graphic program of choice, but all i did in Photoshop was to resize and crop, it was as you see it. most of my processing takes place in a program called Capture One, where i actually "develop" the raw image

thanks,

lou

Hi Gary, strange you should ask. i found a compact flash in my camera bag from the time last year I photographed Mr. King. I have about 30 more un published photos that i am working on.

here is a link to my palace web site where you can see more of BB and also some of the other performers that i have had the privilege to meet and photograph.

let me know what you think of the photos.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL shot Lou. I checked out the gallery. Your pics are just so clear. Kenny Rogers sure looks different after the face lift.

And the Sesame Street ones were sooooo cute. I esp. liked the one with Elmo and his girlfriend? My little grandson just LOVES Elmo. LOL

Amazing photos.I remember your pictures from the old water garden, they were great then and even now,just amazing. The church photo should be on the cover of a magazine,they are really good. It is a peaceful scene. Thanks for sharing. Got any more?

Gene · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2007, 04:30:52 AM »

I really like the way the light is hitting that steeple. Thanks, Lou!

thats is stunning louis! There are few country/mountain churchs back in the hills on n. carolina that have been there forever and they all have the big old tall steeple and aged trees etc aruond them.. there sure is a peace when you round a mountain and see one sitting there.

hi Louis:

Terrific photos, some of the pictures of Clinton make me believe he is sincere and honest and of course he did not have sex!! Aretha's and Willie's photos are excellent. I especially like the black & white contrast. However, some of BB King photos are really grand!!!

Thanks for sharing...are these going into mags?

Gary

hi gary,
some have gone into magazines but they are mostly for the theaters portfolio and of course my web site.
its truly a blast to meet and photograph these icons.

and clinton was the nicest, most polite person that i have met in a long time. he was dripping with charm.

thanks for the comment.
