I almost always shoot something when the light is good. I may go hiking along a river or just wander around my backyard. Sometimes I drive to the downtown area and shoot people and things on the street. I do some car shoots for magazines which are scheduled. I'll shoot 15 to 20 rolls in three to four hours on those occasions. I shoot people (almost always women) indoors and outdoors with studio style lighting arrangements. I give the models prints for their time. They are usually friends but never relatives. When I travel for work, I take a camera or two or more and shoot as much as time allows.
