I read This Article that will shed some light on this topic.

August Concert

2010-07-25T21:53:00.000-07:00

I am fortunate to be very good friends(and unofficial family) with a local muscian who's having a concert next month to kick off their 2nd album, "Rising". I have had the opportunity to hear this album as well as see its progression from idea to final product and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

I strongly reccommend you to visit their SITE and read their bio.

The concert will be held on August 20, 2010 at 9pm and tickets are $15 in advance.

Also, I will be making photographs at the concert as well. Call or email for your tickets and don't forget to stop by and have your portrait taken!

Here's just a small sample of what your Lover's Story slideshow could be like.

Enjoy!

What a day this would be! It's always a pleasure to find a couple that seems to be so in sync with each other from beginning to end and seem to be so comfortable with each other! They laughed and touched throughout the evening and all the way until the very end.

My day started by capturing the details, and what superb details they were!

The bridesmaids were all very helpful in this image as they eagerly prepared for the big day.

This was simply an anticipation image where the girls waited patiently for the sounds and cue to march down the aisle.

This image needs no explanation at all because it speaks for itself. This bride was confident and ready for a wedding!

When I captured this series of images, I was amazed at the final results. I find them to be spontaneous yet calculated. They may have even practiced these moves ahead of time because Larry was so light on his feet and the crowd cheered them on and deservedly so because they looked GREAT.

Every bride deserves to have her husband take a knee just one last time.

This image shows what I set out to communicate in my final thoughts of this day. Love.

I always try to exit the wedding venue after the party has begun to dwindle so we can explore other terrific ideas and scenes. This was a fun scene later in the day as we were really in relax mode.

One final image before we would call it an evening. This was another fun shot that lended itself to a very romantic portrait and I think we would all agree that it was appropriate to end the day.

Thanks to the happy couple for the opportunity and congrats on your new life together!

I'm glad that Jacqueline had chosen the location that she did simply because it offers clear views of the sky and the waterfall is gorgeous! I knew it would be a scorcher having to photograph in the late June heat so I made sure to get my fluid intake above normal and for me, that only needs to be one glass of water. I arrived at the location armed and ready to shoot, but I suppose I underestimated the heat that this day would bring! Maybe I should have brought along that second bottle of water with me and another for the road.

I arrived just a few minutes early to scout the area and get ideas that I hadn't used before and the results showed that and extra few minutes would prove to be well worth it.

Jacqueline arrived with an entourage of family and friends to support her in her exciting(but hot) portrait session. I want to thank that group for being so helpful and excited despite the blazing temperatures and the sheer length of time spent to create these portraits.

As I mentioned earlier, this place is wonderful for portraits especially in the late evening and early morning hours because the sky comes alive with color and shapes! Maybe this balances out the heat index :)

From the environmental to the close ups, it was a ton of fun to create these exciting portraits and I look forward to the wedding day to have, yet another opportunity, to work with such a cooperative bunch.

Okay, okay, so I do actually create an occasional traditional portrait or two. While NYT prides itself on pulling away from the masses, that traditional portrait is still among the most requested portraits that are created.

This was definitely one of my fav's! All of the elements just came together so nicely here and Jacqueline does a fantastic job of following "hand signal" direction. :))

If you know anything about photography, I'm sure you're complaining about the rule that's broken here. Let's focus more on the actual image rather than the rules because this is definitely another of my absolute fav's. We made a great team, Jacqueline, so let's do this again really soon!

I thought I'd head out and create something just a little different than the "typical" portrait and here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

Good read

If you're among those who have kept up with the latest here, then you'll probably notice that there are many entries missing! I have tried several times and many different ways to retrieve those entries. While I've figured out a way to retrieve them, they appear randomly across the screen so I've decided start over and this has been quite a challenge.
I hope this answers the questions as far as where did all the entries go and thanks again for stopping by.

Today was one of those days where I tried to do someting a little different. Weddings are definately my passion, however it all started with inanimate objects and weird ideas. I woke up and pondered over what could I do differently that didn't involve people and it hit me!

I grabbed my gear and began to wonder how I would pull off this idea of mine with things I already had lying around. I spent nothing on materials and used things anyone would normally have around the house. My idea posed a number of issues however especially since I had never attempted an image like this. i would have to ask myself a couple of questions: How do you light water? Hmmm, that would prove to be a little more difficult than I thought, but once I figured it out, it was a piece of cake! The other thing would be, how could a drop of water land in EXACTLY the same position each time it fell? One more thing to think about was, how could I focus on a drop of water?

With these questions in mind and answered by trial and error, I was quite pleased with the end results.
