My buddy IS Jesus!

Ok, so in observance of it being Sunday, I am going to go semi-religous on y'all.

During our shoot today, as we were testing our lighting, Holly posed Buddy Jesus style and EVERYONE got in on it.  So I'm blogging about it :D  Happy Sunday, enjoy!






Even my pup Wobbs got in on it!!!

Prepping for a Shoot

With every shoot that I do, I ALWAYS have to prepare for the shoot.

Check the location.  Look to see what look will be good in which location.  Check the lighting in the location.  What props (if any) we will use and where.

That being said the most important thing for me to do is to set up and set my lighting.  And here's how I test my lighting!










Hope you have a good a week as I have had this weekend!

Mobile Photographer

Whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone either market
offers really neat (yes neat…in this case, this word best suits the description
:p) options in mobile pic taking!

I absolutely love where technology is today.  And as a photographer, especially in
today’s market, you kinda have to be a techie too.  I am no exception as I am ecstatic over my HTC EVO and the
apps for the “camera phone”.  I
continually keep searching and am on the lookout for the latest, greatest
camera app.  Just the other day I
found one that will actually (almost) allow me to take a pic and post produce
it as if I were using one of the “Big Boy” editing software!  It is freakin awesome! 

No, it does not take the place of my beefy Canon 7D, but,
neither do I want to be lugging that bad boy around with me everywhere I
go…well I do, but it’s not convenient.
And no, my EVO does not produce the same quality pics that my pro glass
does, but I can keep my phone in my pocket and snap a quick shot ANYWHERE! 

I would look very silly, and weird, if I walked around
everywhere with my 7D (as pictured on this page ===>) in my pocket :p

Just take a look at what can be done with the right phone
and camera app paired together!






As a matter of fact...I posted this whole blog right from my phone as well! ;)
