Basic 2-Light Portrait Setup

I've blogged about a lot of things, but I don't think I've ever demonstrated a basic two-light portrait setup.  This is for a series of pictures of middle school students I did back in April:

A month on the Road

You haven't heard from me in awhile.  It's been a whirlwind - first our cat Oliver died after being with us for 12 years (tribute here), then I conducted my first seminar in five years in Plymouth, Massachusetts at the end of April, then the next day we took the motor home on a month-long cross-country trip to California to visit my brothers and the West coast grandkids.  Two days after that trip ended my granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah happened in Boston (and my wife did a lot of the baking in those two days!)

I'll share some pictures and some captions.  Nothing award winning here or anything...  (As usual, click on any image to view larger and sharper.)
