A couple weeks ago I flew to Norway to shoot a wedding. It was a quick trip, due to a last minute change in itinerary (no thanks to Orbitz) I actually spent more time in airplanes and congested international terminals than I did at my destination – boo. I will say, however, that the Bose QC-15s are undoubtedly the best travel companion ever, best business expense yet. Anyway -…

Earlier this week I dropped by my moms studio to help her with a shot for a color competition. The set-up was quick and simple, although I’m amazed we fit it all in that room, what I wouldn’t give for some decent studio space lately. It was also the first time I’ve had a chance to play with the Apollo Orb – which I have to say – I’m…

For our first anniversary, Annie and I got some new running gear so we can get back in shape. Nike just launched their latest Free Run series, and not only are the shoes the most comfortable and natural things I’ve ever put on my feet save for maybe a pair of socks – they’re not too bad on the eyes either. The product images are pretty stunning as well,…

Over Easter, Annie and I flew to California for a bit of a vacation with the family. My sister lives in Huntington Beach and we don’t get to see her family very often, so we spent the majority of the trip with the camera out to get the most out of our time together. The kids are growing up so fast… not even funny. …

It’s been freakishly long time since Annie and I sat down and made some pictures together – so last night I took the opportunity to fiddle with some of the new lighting gear I picked up last week. We had to test out a couple new eye-shadows anyway, so we killed 2 birds with one stone. Conclusion: my wife is pretty hot – and a very patient model.

My desk is the best kind of messy right now as I just put together a couple mail outs for clients. I’m still in the middle of redesigning my print media – For once, I’m still happy with my branding – but the printed materials have been a little lackluster. I probably won’t be happy with any of this until I get my printing press up and running -…

While I don’t think I’ve ever made a new years resolution, I have been taking the better part of 2012 to try and re-establish some good habits. It’s not a resolution – but it is a change in thinking. My trip back to Sydney over thanksgiving reminded me of how inspired I used to be, and how much more effort I put into being creative. Since I moved back…

I had a quick job this morning with the lovely ladies at MK Studio with an update of their staff photos. This time around the goal was for something a bit more informal than what we’ve done in the past so we did some run and gun portraits around the studio. Easy peasy – these girls are the best, they make my job a walk in the park.

I normally don’t write about gear, cause I’m hardly an authority on ISO charts, lens ogling, and pixel peeping, plus if the pictures look good then it doesn’t really matter. Don’t get me wrong, I talk my wife’s ear off every time I’m looking into a new purchase, I’m a stickler for having the right tool for the job, but there are about 10,000 sites out there for people who…

Last week week I had the chance to get out of the house on a couple occasions and make some pictures with some lovely couples. I’ve mentioned before why these sessions before the wedding are so helpful so I won’t bore you with redundancy. It’s also getting late, and I’m having a hell of a time trying to keep a straight train of thought, I won’t bore you with my…
