Tyler Wilson, 11, climbs up a hill after sledding down with his friends and sibling at Stephen's Lake Park on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012. Antionette Gray, his mother, took him along with his sister Tyra and cousins Omari and Jayla to the park. Columbia public schools were closed for the day due to weather.

Got to take a portrait of a good friend Pinar Istek the other day. Great photographer, check her out. I’ve been playing around with different lighting setups and I think this turned out pretty well for what I was going for. Hopefully I can do move to more environmental portraits soon.
