Two love birds...

Recently, Jeff and Keonna came up from Tallahassee for their engagement session. These two love birds met at Florida A&M University in an IT class. Keonna played hard to get for a while. She wouldn't even return Jeff's phone calls!! Jeff continued his pursuit of Keonna until she finally gave in. We had such fun during their photo shoot in Midtown Atlanta. They will have a summer wedding in sunny Pensacola, FL. I can't wait to get to the beach!!!

What do I think...

So this is my third post tonight....or should I say this morning?

Some people ask me what am I thinking about when I shoot pictures. They just stop me in the middle of a picture and ask "What are you doing...why are you on the ground...can you see with your camera up side down?" I usually answer by saying...colors, shapes, images, light....etc.

I thought about this tonight when I looked at this picture of me taken by my assistant during a shoot. I placed myself back in that moment.

The real answer is simple ....I am capturing the world as God has given me eyes to see it. I think about how the world is a beautiful creation and we are all blessed just to be living here. We are all part of God's creation and as long as I am blessed with eyes to see and hands to hold my camera, I will be capturing the visions that God has given me. Everyday that I wake up, I experience the world in my own unique way.

Last week while driving with a friend, I asked her..."What do you see ahead of you?" She said, "The road." I began to tell her of all the interesting objects that I typically observe while driving. Dangerous, right? Well, when I was a broke college student, I would drive around just for fun....for hours. Sometimes I would drive around the city and other times I would drive as far as my gas would allow. These were my trips away from my reality. Back then I had a small 35mm camera but I would still take pictures of everything I saw. It was like therapy to me. I would take my images to be developed and then ponder for hours. "Who lived here 100 years ago?" "How old are these trees?" "Who owns this land?" "Where did that come from?"

I don't have as much time to drive around as I used to but I still use my inquisitive mind to capture special pictures. I am a photographer that looks for images that others may miss. What makes me different than any other photographer? Nothing, except that there is not another Ross on earth that has the same passion and skills that God has blessed me with. And as long as I am alive I will use my gift to His glory.

Anyways, that's it. Just some thoughts. Had to jot them down.

By the way, the picture above also made me think...where in the world did all of that equipment come from?

Two souls unite as one...

It is always a pleasure when my clients give me full creative control of a project. Shooting this ceremony was a breath of fresh air for me. The entire day was as unique as the bride and groom themselves. Thank you Chris and Dawn for letting me be myself and be part of your special day!!!

Dad is Coming Home!

To all of my faithful blog readers....thanks for all of your prayers and phone calls. My dad is coming home from the hospital tomorrow!

It has been a long two weeks for my family but we have really pulled together. I am staying with him overnight at the hospital so I guess I will be editing for a while.

Love, Marriage and ......Babies?

It is now that time in my life. As I approach the ripe young age of 30, several of my friends are getting married and having children. I am not only shooting weddings but I am also the best man. When I check my email for new clients I find baby shower e-vites.

Last week, I visited two college friends of mine. Jerald and Adria Gaines. They have a beautiful house (that they built themselves.... correction....that Adria built) in Atlanta and are sure to have a beautiful child also. Jerald and I used to study together when we were at Morehouse College. Adria is one of the first friends I gained at Georgia Tech. Rumor has it that I introduced these two love birds. All that siad, the baby shower was fun! Friends, family, food, games...who could ask for more?

You can see a house that Adria's company, Build Forward, built here: www.rossoscarknight.com/buildforward
