Some changes on the way!
Hey Everyone!
It's been a crazy past few weeks but things are finally settling down. We are currently hard at work one several items. First off NEW LOGO coming very soon. A special thanks goes out to Kari Perry and her website http://perrygraphics.moonfruit.com. I've been very happy with the look and feel. Hopefully you can give me some input on what you think. Second, a new home for RMP. Yes, Melissa and I have moved from the cramped quarters of our old apartment to a home in south Liberty. We can finally bring people over comfortably and make you truly feel at home with us.
There are other great new things coming but for me, I'm most excited for next year. The past few years have been a bit of a struggle as I tried to figure out who I was was as a photographer and before your mind starts to wonder about that statement, no I did not go on some crazy quest to discover who is Kyle Rivas. Far from it. I've more or less taught myself to stop stressing about what I'm doing and just let it happen in the moment. It is so funny how we over think things and how quickly it can overwhelm. Recently, I've taken a step back to truly see what I've done and I've got to say, I'm happy, BUT I'm far from satisfied. I'm still striving for the ultimate in you face shot in basketball and I'm looking at wedding photography done by others that I envy so much, figuring out ways I can achieve those results. How I shoot is always changing and thats a great thing. I love what I do! It pushes me to do the next best thing and I think that's pretty cool!
RMP good night!

I LOVE SOCCER!
Before you start to wonder, yes there was a penalty called on this one! Tonight was a fun shoot for me. I know of many photographers that complain about shooting soccer but I am far from one of them. In fact soccer is one of my favorite sports to shoot. The opportunities are endless to capture something unique, if you have the eye and the attitude for it. Much like volleyball or baseball, the action can change instantly and you have to have a quick eye and a very good feel for the sport to capture images like the one below. One thing I've taught myself over the past few years with sports photography is never ever ever be happy with the ordinary shot, the shot that happens 10, 20, 100 times a game. Instead strive to find something unique. I've been fortunate this year with soccer. I've got two new contest worthy images but I know it was because I didn't attempt the ordinary, I looked for the extraordinary. Granted I'm not the best by any means but it sure is fun trying to create the next great image!

The referee
A man approached me just as I was putting the finishing touches on my camera setup before this weeks Jewell vs Park game. He seemed impressed on where we were putting the camera and asking questions about what type of pictures it would take. Of course, I had a few wireless transmitted on my laptop which I showed him. At that moment I asked him if he was a coach for Park. He responded, "No, no I'm just a referee for the women's game." Inside I laughed hysterically because I was talking to the very person that could get mad and tell me to take it down. Instead I proceeded to impress him with how sturdy it was and gave him my WJphoto.com business card. Goes to show, whether or not you know who you are talking to, be nice and don't be afraid to strike up a conversation.

BOO!!!!! Happy Halloween!
With Halloween just a few day's away and a plate full of photography shoots coming up, I just couldn't wait to post a couple of recent spooky images I took at a haunted house this past weekend. Having never done any type of shoot like this before, it was quite the creative adventure. The women above creates a small but creepy Haunted House and was very much a character when we began taking photos. Let me know what you all think!
Shutter-1/500 Aperture 5.6ish and ISO 640
Happy Halloween!!!!!!
