Another wedding........

Olakunle Lowo — 2008-07-08T00:00:00Z

]]> Yes folks, it's another wedding shot from me. I've made a habit of bringing my camera along with me to weddings of recent - just to test myself :-) I wouldn't consider myself a pro wedding photographer but I just use the opportunity to push myself and see what comes out of it. This happens to be the only wedding I've attended where I was equally familiar with both the bride (Jumoke) and groom (Tope). I hope the black and white conversion adds to this image.

The Bride.

]]> Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been blogging consistently lately. I was away on vacation and now I'm so busy at work :-( Anyway, this is my first wedding post. This shot was taken at a wedding I attended recently as a guest (but my camera insisted on coming along). The bride's name is Kike and I hope you like the picture. Please don't hesitate to criticize harshly if need be. Olakunle Akintola Lowo

Flower Vase

Olakunle Lowo — 2008-05-30T00:00:00Z

]]> Hello everyone. It's been a while since I upgraded my blog and I apologise. I was busy, very busy.......getting married :-) I did not anticipate the flurry of activities that a wedding generates! You can bet the pictures will be up on this blog soon - once I get round to it. In the meantime, here's a flower vase I captured. Nothing special to say here. Enjoy.

I have seen the LIGHT

]]> Another office shot of one of my colleagues :-) Her name is Modupe meaning "I give thanks" and yes, she has seen the light. Olakunle Akintola Lowo

]]> Here's Bimbo - my colleague in the office. I was just testing my new flash and I happened to point it his way. He really likes this shot and he calls it his "Obama photo". Who ever knew that my photos would inspire presidential ambitions! Olakunle Akintola Lowo

Mine is bigger than yours

]]> Now this dude possesses some serious defence harware. This is the guy we've all been taught never to allow into a China shop. Each time I see this photo, I'm reminded of Windows Vista. I'm waiting to see the first person to make the connection and tell me why (smiling). Olakunle Akintola Lowo

Beautiful Sky 2

]]> Here's another one from my beautiful sky mini-series. This is a view of the National Stadium Lagos from a rather unflattering angle. Sorry. I took this from a moving vehicle. Olakunle Akintola Lowo.

Beautiful Sky

]]> This picture is dedicated to all the blown out skies I have ever photographed. My previous photo comes readily to mind. The skies over South Western Nigeria have been particularly beautiful of recent. I spotted this on my way to Lagos last week. I even forgot I had a polarizing filter in my bag when I took this one. Oh, what might have been! Olakunle Akintola Lowo
