I know what you're thinking but no it's not me! It is however a much more loyal, good looking kinda guy even if does act freaky for a cat. Looking for a good home for this cat pictured below. Litter trained, approx 8 mos old and has a fetish for suckers, the literal kind or anything else to bat around the room for that matter. Contact me if interested ASAP.

Warmer weather has arrived and Digital Storm Photography is looking for some HOT rides! Not as in stolen but those that make you want to drive it like it was! We're looking for classic hot rods, custom bikes (particularly Harley's), and 4x4's with lift and looks to go with it. We know you love your ride and with spring approaching it's time to get it cleaned up and let us capture this awesome

My blog has in a dormant state but I assure you it still has a pulse. I wanted to share some recent shots of one of our last minute seniors and also a few favorites from a fun shoot with the "grandsons" hamming it up.Put them on a Harley and next thing you know they're checking out the "chicks".

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kate whom hails from the windy city of Chicago but now works and lives in Columbus Ohio. The forecast was 70% chance of rain/snow so while I wanted some outdoor shots I did not plan to get them. Once she arrived and the weather held steady with only some clouds and even sunshine visible we did venture out close to the studio to get a few shots. If you

With the temperature reaching into mid 50's this past weekend nature called. Took a trip to Hocking Hills area to hopefully see Cedar Falls flowing. Turned out that while water was flowing it was flowing behind what was still a massive amount of ice! On top of that I managed a not so graceful fall, face first into a set of limestone stairs coming out of Cedar Falls. I managed to snap off a Pocket

Certainly one of the most debated subjects, like Nikon or Canon. Perhaps they should do a video like this one.

We have many exciting new features we'll be rolling out in the coming weeks to include tutorials and tips for photography and photoshop! We are also networking with other photographers, designers and businesses to offer insights, perspectives and even FREE stuff!Here's a brief list of

Lately we've been busy getting some of our amazing customers Christmas gift orders ready so we've been slow on blog postings. We were also tasked with capturing the Hood Saunders wedding a short time back, and as those of you who attended can attest, was a terrific wedding. Ashley was simply a beautiful bride and John an incredibly kind and awesome groom which I hope the pictures capture. Here's

This weekend was spent working with Tiffany, our Jackson senior rep, and Sunday with the Long family. Now if any of you reading this has ever had the opportunity to spend some time with Jeremy, Amy and the young ones then I'm sure you know what a delight they are. The kids were super awesome and quite entertaining to say the least. Little "K" was as cute as a button with a 3 going on 12 year old

Ok, so we've been a little lax on blogging as of late and rather than bore you with excuses and such we'll just move forward with some of the recent highlights!First off we'll mention a wonderful little shoot with one of the Jackson County Apple Festival Mini Queens, yes forgive the unofficial title here. This is little Emma and she was a treat to work with. She seem to like working the camera

We finally got the opportunity to have a shoot with Breana whom will be representing Digital Storm Photography at Vinton County High School! Breana is a proud VCHS majorette who is also actively involved in the drama club and 4H so we're sure she'll get the chance to show her photos and answer any questions you may have. As mentioned before but worth mentioning again, our senior reps are supplied

They're several things to mention this week but wanted to separate each on their own so bear with me. One the big things I wanted to pass along was our recent acceptance to be a part of the Littlest Hero's Project which is an organization of volunteers and photographers trying to pay it forward by capturing special photos of children with debilitating illnesses or conditions. The idea was formed

Spent this past Tuesday evening doing a shoot with Thressa, a Jackson senior with an outgoing personality and very large collection of formal dresses! It was a pleasure working with Thressa and having the help of her younger sis for most of the shoot. Here's a sneak peek of Thressa's shoot. Feel free to comment and let her know how beautiful she looks.

I had the opportunity to work with more awesome cars and another great senior this past weekend. Since I'm running behind in blog world, John's private gallery has been getting flooded with admirers of the photos, "his beautiful eyes" and "how good he looks" comments. The whole time he was pretty low key and "shy" then I find all these comments! It's alright John, you know you deserve it huh.

Have been busy as of late so bear with me as we get caught up. As mentioned previously it is senior season and we've been lucky enough to photograph some awesome seniors so far. We recently had the chance to work Natasha whom is a huge Ohio State fan and was recently voted "most likely to make you laugh" in her graduating class. I can see why as she has a very outgoing personable nature about her

After being absent from our blog for a few days we assure you that we are continuing to work on everyone's photos and capturing those special moments! Sunday we had an opportunity to capture one of the best weddings to date in regard to witnessing some terrific people combine two lovely families into one. As noted during their engagement shoot, Waylon and Sarah make a wonderfully in love couple

Still processing some shoots from the weekend and this is Baby Boe's sneak peek. As with most small children his tolerance for posing wasn't too high but when he did he worked the camera! He has those big blue eyes that I'm sure will make mom's hearts melt everywhere. Here's a few from our session so check them out and let his parent's know how cute he is.

Ok not really Beaver the animal but rather the siblings of the Beaver family! Oh and one additional cousin as well who evened the ratio out! These were some of the best kids to work with and the two sisters I think will be running mom and dad near broke once they reach their senior year. They were like little natural models!

We are pleased to announce we have another awesome senior rep, this time for Jackson High School! Tiffany is a die hard member of the Jackson Ironmen Marching Band as well as being involved in many other activities to include LAUNCH and the high school drama club. I had asked her if we could do a shoot right away so we may get her started with her rep cards and I'm so glad we did. Tiffany has

We're pretty much done sorting through and posting the the photos from this past weekend's rodeo at Henderson's Arena. None of the pictures really do justice to the action and atmosphere of the rodeo, mostly because of the poor lighting. Why not use flash you ask? Well for one we're concerned for the safety of the participants. We do not want to spook an animal with flashes. Another reason which

Lot of things to mention and follow up on in today's entry. Had an engagement session with Waylon and Sarah Saturday afternoon to start the photographic day. They are due to be wed in a couple of weeks and it was a joy to spend some time getting to know them a little today. They've had a whirlwind love story that started in Wales while both were attending school and have been inseparable every

Started out the day with a visit from Baby "L" and his proud parents for a photo shoot in honor of an up and coming b-day. He didn't know what to think of the camera at first and showed his concern as soon as I put it up to my eye. I'm sure he was thinking "dude you're ugly enough, what's up with putting that thing on your face?"! While I'm far from finished these are some of the standouts from

Had the opportunity to photograph "Baby Hill" this evening for his first ever official photo shoot. Ok let me backtrack, his second. His first he was still in the oven! Here he is one month into the world and we subjected him to bright flashing lights and not a moments peace and at times he let us all know that! He seems to be well beyond his ripe old age of one month with all his motor skills

This post is meant to hopefully answer some questions and help educate folks who either want to learn sports photography or learn how we get some of the great action shots.One question that crops up is how do we get photos that look the same way the scene appeared when you were there seeing it live?

Had a shoot with the wonderful Dever family this evening. Nothing formal, all fun from chasing geese to playing in the water to riding the monster truck of tricycles. The little guy had the energy common among most 3 year olds and he had the personality to go with it! Oh to be young again. Here's a few from this evening and feel free to tell them what a wonderful looking family they are.Also

Check out the fun I got the chance to capture Saturday! This has to be one of the most gorgeous brides and wedding party I've had the opportunity to photograph to date. Meet the new Mr and Mrs Delong! These guys were a blast to shoot with and were open to anything to help capture their special day. Please feel free to congratulate and comment on this sneak peek at some of the awesome shots we got

Was pleasantly surprised when I got to meet and shoot with Kaylee today. While sometimes a little shy in front of the camera we did manage to gather enough interest for some decent shots of those blue eyes after all. Here's a sneak peak of a few of those photos so feel free to comment and tell her what a cutie she is.Don't forget it's Senior season here at Digital Storm Photography and we're

Had to chance to visit with one my beautiful long lost cousins yesterday whom along with her mom brought some negatives in to see if they could be printed into anything decent. Restoring a photo, especially snapshots from the past is a tedious but rewarding task in that there is such an emotional attachment most folks have for wanting a photo restored. While it's not a photo created by you it's

Met up with Mr Morgan this evening to capture some formal portraits for his employer, aka AAA to be published with their regional newsletters and such. I was also tasked with capturing his musical side as he's a published song writer working with folks in Nashville. While he didn't let me go all out rock star on his photos I think we did manage to get some decent shots!I just want to put a shout

Another June wedding with dramatic sky and a little rain to boot. This time it was the union of Nitat Jaruwannakorn and Amber Fletcher whom if you remember also had an engagement photo session here not too long ago. This is the third member of the Fletcher family whom I've had the pleasure of working with and once again it was a pleasure. Now for a few pictures...While I'm still working on the

Just a short note to share some photos of a wedding that took place Saturday (today for me still)! Meet the new Mr and Mrs Remines........Also want to mention that we will be getting the photo gallery from Ohio Bike Week started in the very near future but will more than likely be adding to it as we get through them.

Started the day finding the lovely Chrome Divas from Cincinatti checking into the same motel to start their weekend of fun at Ohio Bike week so I knew the day would be productive. Next I ventured to downtown Sandusky where vendors, bikers and everyone else was gathering for the day's activities. While scouting out the activities I met DJ Dave who was representing HD Media whom introduced me to

Jimmy VanZant rocked the Broken Spoke Saloon tonight as another one of the major attractions at Ohio Bike Week 2008. Due to the condition of the open field from previous night's rain Jimmy was moved indoors to the Broken Spoke and the place was packed to say the least. I've got so many photos of so many great people and events I can hardly wait to get home to view them on something more than a

A few more from Ohio Bike Week 2008 with the lovely "Kill Thrill Jill" along with her daredevil husband Tyler Fyre. From sword swallowing to serpent show to a suspended escape from a tight jacket and more they keep the crowd watching the whole time. Continue to look for more from Digital Storm Photography's viewpoint of this event.

Made it up to Sandusky for some shooting at Ohio Bike Week. Travis Tritt was performing tonight so I was able to capture some shots of his concert along with some other activities. It's too late to elavorate much but stay tuned for more. Also since I'm doing this on the road with a laptop for the first time I'm not sure how these actually look so bare with me until I get some real post processing

Got the opportunity to meet and photograph one of our contestants for little miss Apple Festival Queen today which was a much needed break from editing little league photos. Miss Haley was quite the model and a true pleasure to work with. She has some amazing eyes and a pleasant demeanor. Hopefully we'll get to see more of her in the future.

I don't normally use this place to voice anything negative but I just couldn't help but to relate an episode that happened just a short while ago. While some photos were being downloaded from memory card and others being uploaded for ordering I decided to go to Kroger to pick up a couple of items. After I finish and was loading it into the jeep I notice a car had parked next to me and a passenger

"No greater love hath any man than to give his life for a friend". This scripture is one nearly every warrior lives by whether he knows it as a passage from the bible or not.

It's late and I apologize for slacking with the blog as of late but stay tuned as we have some exciting opportunities coming up! I took some photos of the commencement ceremony at Jackson Friday night mostly in part of having my own graduate but it was also nice to see all those whom had given us the opportunity to capture their senior year either through Senior portraits, sports or other

Due to the various weather conditions we're still working to complete those little league photos so not much has been captured in regard to photos. I was able to spend some time with Wellston Senior Amy in order to complete her senior photo session. If you'll look to the right you'll see that we are looking for 2009 senior models of which some fantastic deals are available for the right people.

Seems as though that anytime I schedule a photo shoot we are rained out! The rain isn't so bad except when it comes to trying to take photos of little league teams as unlike a football game, it's not kosher to play baseball in inclement weather. We will work through them though eventually.The little sunshine in the rain sorta speak has been the addition of a couple of sure to be interesting photo

Started photographing the city's little league this evening with the Jackson Family Dental team and Johnson Tool and Equipment sponsored teams. At the request of Mayor Randy Heath the opening pitch by one of his mentors in the athletic department was captured on camera for future use on the City's website.We will be scheduling and shooting the rest of the teams in the upcoming weeks of which we

It's getting warmer, landscape is getting greener and love for some is in the air. It's definitely time to take advantage of the weather and especially our discounts on portrait packages for some special on location photo sessions. Recently had the pleasure of working with Nitat and Amber in producing some engagement session portraits. They are due to wed in June and if these photos are any

Was lucky enough to have a day to shoot the hills at Old Man's cave area today. The overcast day helped to diffuse the sunlight and make for some decent shots of the water flowing through the area. These would look great on canvas for display in any office so feel free to contact us for these special items.

Was called upon recently to get a shot of the Markay Arts Center while the dogwoods were in bloom, the sign lit and prior to an approaching storm. As with any night shot using available light you of course have to leave your shutter open for an extended period of time which normally makes for some spectacular shots. The issue here was catching the neon sign with extended shutter release

Warmer weather is upon us and I for one am very grateful! We've been busy shooting some sport events the last couple of days so make sure to visit our galleries to see some of the action. Remember that you can check with us to get information or possibly more photos of your your athlete as we generally only post those that we think are some of the very best which as always is subject to personal

Got to attend Jackson's baseball opener against Oakhill yesterday and even though the wind chill made it tough on the bare hands at least the sun peaked out from time to time. Jackson won the game so congratulation's and best of luck for many more. Here's a few from the game but feel free to browse the Sports gallery for more.

Finally finished posting to the rodeo gallery from this past weekend. At least some of the better photos anyway. Many are only one part of series but due to amount of post processing it is necessary to draw the line somewhere. If anyone is interested in purchasing prints of their participant or themselves just contact us and we'll also advise if we have more photos to choose from or not. Thanks

While visiting those websites that have visited me I came across one that was using my photos as samples of their "art work" on their website. And while I might have not thought much about it initially I was upset that someone would brazenly just use the photos without so much as a hello or thank you since after all there was no plug for my work or website, just description of the jewelry they

It's been a busy weekend and it's good to be able to have multiple items to shoot. Still processing wedding photos but took a break to get a few from a shoot today as well. Tomorrow I hope to get some baseball. My way of pushing spring in a bit at a time. Dates are filling up fast so place your call today to get some of those special memories captured. Here's a few from today.The lovely Brandiand

So I was asked to be the best man at my brother's wedding and of course take photos as well. Needless to say a near impossible task especially of the ceremony portion so relied on video camera for that portion of the event. I truly wish them the best in their marriage and that they'll forever be able to look back with fond memories. I haven't processed many but here are a few that caught my eye

Well it's that time of year when we "Spring" forward an hour for daylight savings. As if we needed another reason to be off schedule. Good thing about the change is it's getting dark later and thus I was out and taking a few shots this afternoon and evening before realizing it was after 7 and still light outside. We are suppose to get some more snow tonight followed by rain so everything should

Among the other hundred things to do I wanted to account for and inventory a lot of the more expensive items today. At least now, anything short of a nuclear blast I'll have accurate records of what was lost. Some of the newest additions to our studio selection of backdrops are pictured below. Scenic backdrops are generally a bad idea for me but this one I made an exception for and think I can

I will get birds in flight at some point and time that I am actually happy with. Until then we will have to do with these geese I shot today as I jumped out of the jeep and ripped a few as they passed overhead.

Coming up with titles for blogs should be a multiple choice type thing seeing as how trying to come up with one is either fast and not very well thought out such as this one or just too plain. Anyway sometimes we let things people say manipulate how we feel, especially the bad things. Isn't it sad how we more apt to let the negative comments or things said effect us versus the positive things

Today was so nice in terms of weather but also in the fact of doing a shoot outdoors with such great group of ladies. I hope it keeps up and continues into spring. Here are a few from today and I hope you like them as much as I did.

The big thaw and spring that is. Today wasn't too bad and it's suppose to be up to 60 tomorrow! We took a hike this afternoon so as not to waste the sunshine and went to Lake Kathrine. The lake was still ice/slush covered but the creek and waterfall beneath the foot bridge was flowing quite well. I hope to be able to capitalize on some people shots in the scenic location in the near future. For

I haven't posted much as of late simply because I've been less inspired and more at focus on the tedious business side of things. Nonetheless I thought I should post some of the latest things happening here. Pictured 1st off below is some work I recently acquired by an old friend whom wanted these photos put onto iron on transfers so she could incorporate them into some quilts she makes by hand.

Playing around with some smoke today in which you'll see some cool abstracts in the photos below. It all the sudden starting snowing pretty heavily this evening and makes me yearn for spring even more. Hopefully I get to shoot my appointments tomorrow and get out to get some decent photos of the snowfall.

Tonight hosted the last lunar eclipse until 2010 and I only caught the last part of it. It was hand held which is not easy to do in 18 degree weather and no gloves. Not a very good shot so I had to take a couple of other shots in a warmer environment of something warmer yet. Hopefully in the next few days I'll be able to show some more work and unveil what direction I'm heading for to meet the

Spent the last couple of days displaying my work and trying to drum up business at the first Jackson Wedding Expo over the weekend. Being the very first event of this type I had attended and the first held in Jackson I looked at it as a true learning experience. I'm thankful for all the future bride and grooms that stopped by and checked out Digital Storm Photography! I'm including a couple of

Wedding season is fast upon us which is good! Sometimes just thinking of spring soon to be right around the corner makes these cold dreary days go a little easier. While I won't be taking the actual wedding ceremony photos of the couple below I do get to participate as best man nonetheless. Little brother has finally decided he wants to get married so I had them over today to get a few photos for

Not too bad of a day. Just wished I felt a little better to enjoy it more. I did get out long enough to capture these few shots. I loved the sky and the late day sun casting long shadows and lighting everything at an almost perfect angle from where I was. I have another shoot tomorrow afternoon building model portfolios and experimenting with some different lighting effects so stay tuned for

I've not posted the last couple of days due to a chest cold and other stuff going on but couldn't resist doing one today just to post these pics. This is my niece and such a cutie when she actually behaves long enough to get a photo taken. We went with the valentines day theme since it is the season and to showcase what can be done in regard to making your special someone a very special valentine

Trying to get order completed and working on some new projects. I'll be putting together something for the seniors here soon as I'll be looking for 2009 graduates wanting to become associates of digital storm photography. If you're outgoing, involved in various school functions and willing to commit some of your time we want you! Still getting stuff together for the upcoming bridal expo being

Ok technically it's Saturday but to me it's still Friday. I made the mistake of going to bed early because of an all day headache so now I'm awake and catching up on some of the stuff I put off today. In making my rounds to various forums and educational sites I came across another inspiring photographer/lecturer who is located not too far from here in Kentucky. While browsing his blog and

Had a chance to try some studio bridal shots today with the help of Andrea's dress shop located here in Jackson, Ohio. I have to say I was impressed with the service and help these wonderful ladies were to assist in not only letting us borrow dresses but all the accessories as well. After spending the majority of day working with Nicole and Heather from Model Mayhem it was off to take photos of

Worked with these two pageant contestants today for some portfolio shots. These shots are just a few of my favorites and not necessarily the ones that will be used but little "Princess Jalynn" cracks me up with her poise. She's like clay when she poses, you move her how you want and she sits like a statue so it was fun when she actually did loosen up a little. It's late so here are the photos and

It's been sooooo cold last few days! Good thing I've had lots of post processing and computer work to do although I have ventured out a few times to try to get some birds of prey. Definitely need to get out this weekend since going to be warmer and find some owls, hawks, or even rarer birds. Spotted a couple of hawks out at a local lake yesterday but very poor angle and when I tried to scout out

Had a guy approach me to take pictures of his pride and joy a couple of months ago and he was finally able to make it in today. The rifle is a 22 caliber custom made competition rifle of which he had won several national and regional honors with over the last few decades. From what I gather this rifle was custom hand made by German immigrant metal worker whom lived and worked in Ohio and passed

Check out the Jackson vs Logan game photos. Little different post processing which brings out the intensity they play with or at least I hope it compares. As always we have more photos than what's posted so if you're looking for more of a certain player contact us and we'll look at what others we may have. Also wanted to remind everyone of one of our new products posted in previous blog entry.

Spent most of day photographing Nicole for some updates to her model portfolio. I know, tough job but somebody has to do it! It's nice to be able to get creative with the photography with someone who is comfortable in front of the camera and willing to try new stuff. I'm posting a few from her shoot although I can not say honestly that these are my only favorites. We done nearly 5 hours of

Spent the afternoon taking a break and driving around until I found something that caught my photo eye. Once I drove to Lake Alma I seen that the lighting and calmness of the lake were perfect for some photos of the reflections. This is my take on them and although I wished I had done a couple of things different I didn't think they turned out too bad.Upon arriving back to the studio I was

Been trying to reformulate some portions of the website and clean up different items. In doing so I've decided to add a "Best of" gallery to certain sections such as Events and Sports. This will help market my photography to those I'm trying to get published with. First one I've started with is the Event's gallery and from this I've posted a few photos I've reworked to my personal taste and style

In adding this blog to my photography website I foreseen a debate within myself as to what to include and exclude from my postings. For the most part I've managed to keep it business and photography related even at the expense of my own sanity at times. I will side step my usual keeping with photography and spread more to the blog world for this entry. During my online travels I try to keep

With the temperature in the upper 60's again today it was good to do some more outdoor shots. I ventured off the beaten path and came across new local portion of a bicycle path and I must say it was so peaceful and serene. For those locally that have not had a chance to walk the trail I highly recommend it. Once my son arrived from school I took him out and made him pose for some shots. As you

It was so nice today, upper 60's, slight breeze and sunny. A good day to go to the park and see the tots playing. Here are a few shots from today that I liked and hopefully the weather is nice tomorrow as well! Be a good time to come and get some photos done with those little ones so call and get a session booked!

Since it was warm today and not much else going on I decided to take a trip to Athens and visit the infamous Ridges. For those not aware, Athens Ohio had the state's first insane asylum which started operation in 1874. This area including the hospital, cemeteries and homes in the area are said to be some of the most haunted places on earth. While I won't confirm or deny that I will say what I saw

I know I've been gone a while. Been down with a sinus infection/cold that seems to be going around. Haven't taken many photos so didn't have much to post as I try to keep this all about the photos! Went to Jackson vs Zanesville basketball game and managed a few decent shots although I think the lack of sleep for last 37 hours effected my usual enthusiasm and ability to hold the camera steady.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and merry Christmas yesterday. I know most of us are glad it's over, at least the parts that make it a burden and not the part where you visit and have a good time with family members! Sometimes it's the only time to get some snapshots of family that never seem to have the time or motivation to take some real photos.Here's a few shots from the past few days that I

This is not the greatest photo in the world I know and surely not the best model but only one available to me at midnight. I've been exploring some DIY websites for lighting modifiers and effects in between getting things done for Christmas. The photo is some experimenting I was doing with a home made snoot fitted to my 580EX2 flash. I wanted to control the lighting to effectively light the

I've not been able to post or do much as of late due to trying to process orders and get them completed before Christmas.
