Corben and Kristina

 

It's funny, the picture does not represent the mood of the night at all.  Corben and Kristina were helping me take pictures at a football game and at a point went up in the stands to rest, everyone was having a good time.  I was far away with a big zoom and got this picture.  Both look so forlorn that naturally I had to pile on by making the picture black and white.

Decided to start blogging again...

It's been almost a year since I've updated my blog and I've missed it. Just an update for those who are wondering, I'm no longer with StoneHenge having left in November. I'm looking for a position currently, and that includes working at developing my own company, Failsafe Hazmat Compliance.
Visit http://bradrosenthal.com for pictures of the kids, Henry, prom season and football. I am also working on several new short movies that will be coming soon.

Rainey's 42nd Birthday

Here is a birthday video I did for Rainey for back when she was young and 40. Two years later, she's significantly older, but the video is still fun! Make sure to leave a comment for Rainey!

I want to go on record as saying that none of the photo's in this document have been retouched, enhanced or otherwise manipulated in any way.

Happy 42nd Birthday Rainey!!!!!

(If the movie won't play, click the title "Rainey's 42nd Birthday" then click play again.)

Iwo Jima Rainey

For my friend Rainey Talbot's 40th birthday I prepared a video that poked fun and had some good legitimate pictures of her from her work and home life. At some point, I will post the whole video. Today, I thought I'd show one of the silly pictures I Photoshopped to include Rainey in a famous scene. I'm including the original famous photo by Joe Rosenthal (no relation) of "Raising the Flag Over Iwo Jima", next is a fun picture of my friends Judy Gadlage, Linda Collie and Rainey Talbot. Last is the masterpiece of Rainey helping the Marines.

For a similar Photoshopped treatment see my blog Wicked that features Judy Gadlage.

Paris Church, Cloudy Day

It was an extremely overcast day in Paris the day I took this picture. Because it was so hazy and dark, the colors of this church near the Basilica of the Sacred Heart were not very vibrant. I still loved the detail that the picture provided, so I manipulated it a bit in Photoshop and offer it here as a black and white.

Wicked

For my friend Judy Gadlage's 50th birthday I took a picture of her and developed it into a series of images with a little help from Photoshop. I am including in today's blog, the original photo of Judy Gadlage, Rainey Talbot and Linda Collie (I didn't take this picture). I'm including the retouched photo of Judy and the poster that it ended up in.
