“I’m the owner of Lisa On Location photography (www.lisaonlocation.com) . My focus is primarily weddings and portraiture, but we (we being myself and my husband/assistant) also have fun with landscapes, infrared and macro to keep things interesting. I studied photojournalism at Texas A&M University in the early 90s while working on my bachelor’s in journalism. After graduation I went to work for a few newspapers here in Texas as a reporter, editor and photojournalist. Being a journalist didn’t fit so well with baby-raising, however, so I took a break to be at home with my little ones. When my youngest began walking and pushing away from me, the old photojournalist in me began to yearn to break out. As a mother of three, I have a passion for children and families, pregnant moms and babies — especially nursing babies. I try to use my experience in photojournalism to capture the warmth and fun in family relationships. I see beauty in everyone and it’s my goal to bring that beauty into print.” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  A photo diary by John Andreas Olsson.

Tokyo (CNN) – “The morning after Japan was struck by the most powerful earthquake to hit the island nation in recorded history and the tsunami it unleashed — and even as the earth continued to twitch with aftershocks — the disaster’s massive impact was only beginning to be revealed.” Dave Powell, publisher of Shoot Tokyo photography blog and a favorite of this site, is featured on CNN iReport with his breaking coverage of the devastation occurring in the Tokyo area.

 “This is my blog for my photography over the past two years. Photography has allowed me to express this side of myself. I have an eye for fashion and style and that is what I have focused my work on. I have worked with over 100 models in the Seattle area – both men and women. I was recently awarded the Photographer of the Year from Chance: NW Fashion. Texture, lighting, color, all of this goes into my shots. My work is flattering without being over Photoshopped as is a trend now a days.” Website: http://twdphotos.wordpress.com/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | “35 Ways to Photograph a Flower” at the U.S. Botanic Gardens  Yellow Poppy (c) Allen Rokach
