Today was relaxing Sunday afternoon, so I decided to play with some flash photography using different combinations of flash gels. One flash was set behind a shoot through reflector giving the background color with another flash shooting from below to add color to the label.
This blue bottle of Bombay Sapphire with a blue background is what started the idea.
Of course I had to photograph a Verboten growler.
It was with the Redemption where I started experimenting with color. I found it fascinating how much the background light impacted the light color on the label. I’m really not sure which one I prefer.
Olivia invited some friends to go bowling to celebrate her 14th birthday. Watching ten young teenage girls hangout at a bowling alley was quite enlightening.

This year was probably one of the best vacations to Colorado we have had in a long time.
We started down south in Colorado Springs with a customary visit to Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. We are obviously bigger fans of the fresh sweets than the spring water. Topping both was the zipline adventures. Jenn and my dad were a little nervous, but Olivia and Mia loved to let go and enjoy the ride.
Although it embarrassed the girls, we did get our photo at what I like to call the intersection of love.
When we made it up to Loveland our time was spent either enjoying good food and beer, or having fun on the lake. Olivia did a little water skiing, but "couching" was the favorite activity, by far.
To end the trip we watched fireworks over the lake from the comfort of home. Nothing better.
The photos below help fill in the story, or you can see the novel by visiting my Colorado 2014 gallery.
I'm sure she would say it is embarrassing, but I love getting photos of Olivia just having fun. Today I took a few minutes off work to spend some time with Olivia and her friend.
The photo above is my favorite, but there are a few more good ones below and all are posted in a gallery on jeffreyphoto.com.
