Hello from Kathmandu

October 2, 2010October 2, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Greetings from Kathmandu! It’s been a great week. There was a lot of flying and there have been a lot of photos. But the best part has been the array of interactions with amazing people. Some are good friends, some are people I’ve been fortunate to meet in seemingly random circumstances. But they have all… Continue reading Hello from Kathmandu

A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words

September 18, 2010 agoolsby2 Comments

Recently I had the opportunity to shoot portraits for a local writer. She needed headshots for her website, so we headed to one of her favorite locations, the National Arboretum. She was great to work with and certainly made my job a lot easier with her sense of humor and beautiful smile. Here are a… Continue reading A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words

All About the People

April 27, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

The more traveling I do the more I realize that for me it’s less about the places and more about the people. It all started in Morocco, which I still consider one of my favorite trips. It was a visit filled with new friends and invitations to share mint tea and special meals in the… Continue reading All About the People

Challenge Is Good For the Soul

April 21, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

In life, once you’ve faced a certain amount of rejection in a particular area you often start to lose hope in the possibility of a positive outcome. But then something or someone challenges you to try again and put yourself out there in that vulnerable place. I think it’s there, in that place where you… Continue reading Challenge Is Good For the Soul

It’s Official

April 19, 2010April 17, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

I finally enlisted the help of some fabulously talented professionals to help me with naming and branding for my photography. The lovely ladies of Bittersweet Creative have helped me settle on the name of Selah Stills and have developed most of the branding items. This past week I (with little notice) asked them to implement… Continue reading It’s Official

Packing Up

April 18, 2010January 3, 2016 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Thanks to my friends Cori and Laura, I had most of my personal belongings gathered together last weekend for my trip to Italy. That left any free time during the week to be filled with small errands and last-minute online orders. At the end of it, I’d amassed quite a bit of stuff to fit… Continue reading Packing Up

I Have Arrived

April 18, 2010April 17, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

It feels like it’s been a very long day since I left the plane this morning in Rome. Partly it was due to my inability to follow signage (in the case of trying to find my train platform at the airport) and partly to being in the middle of one of the craziest travel events… Continue reading I Have Arrived

Getting It Covered

April 17, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

As I made final preparations to head off to Italy with thousands of dollars worth of photography gear, I made the call to make sure my insurance company had the needed details. I’m very glad I did. Everything I’d read online seemed to indicate that it would be covered by my homeowner’s policy. However, I… Continue reading Getting It Covered

This is Why

February 28, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Today began the Tears series at our church. It’s centered around Job and the discussion of pain and suffering in our lives. It’s a powerful series in itself, but our amazing media team put together videos of some very courageous NCCers who were willing to share some of their personal stories of suffering – and… Continue reading This is Why

It’s in the Details

February 25, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

I shot an event recently at the beautiful Lincoln Theater in DC.  While most of the photos are of the stage and crowd using a wide fish eye lens, I did manage to snap this one shot of a beautiful light fixture for myself.  I seem to have a thing for details and pattern and… Continue reading It’s in the Details
