I am being a little literal for the theme this week, but honestly this last week of Pre-K has been pretty demanding on the whole family. Who knew?

I’m taking an off-camera-flash mini-workshop through The Bloom Forum and it’s really getting me out of my comfort zone.  One of the first steps was getting some {power} for a studio strobe out in the wide world. So I bought this thing that looks like a car battery that’s well, a big battery, to {power} the light. I feel so portable. So untethered. Honestly, in my mind I feel like I have some sort of uninterrupted {power} source just hanging out in my living room right now. And it just a stinkin’ neat gadget! LOL! I’m such a geek!

My first attempts were pretty awful in retrospect. I had some cute (albeit sticky–never bribe them with fruit roll-ups and cheetos again) models but my results were kind of lukewarm. But it was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to working with some more willing/mature models!

So here’s my take on {power}: out in a field. No extension cord in site. Firing away:

Flash!
