I just spent the last couple days with good buddy and portrait photographer, Gary Blair, who came in for the weekend. Gary and I have been friends since we met in ‘87 when his Dad, “Big Daddy” Blair, was a spokesperson for Hasselblad. Oh, who am I kidding, if you knew “Big Daddy” he was a spokesperson [...]
I’ll spare you the long story, but my bride of almost two months and I actually met in second grade. She was assigned to show me the new school and dumped me 20 minutes later – hey, I was an obnoxious little geek and would have done the same thing! LOL We went all through school together, [...]
There are few things more fun than a reunion of old friends and last night was no exception. Riverside High School’s annual get together, which could only happen in a small town like Painesville, Ohio. A bigger city would probably have more classmates heading to other areas of the country, but the nice thing about a little town [...]
Absolutely nothing heavy this morning, just some fun talking about the word “anticipation”. In just a few hours I’m going to see friends I haven’t seen in months, some of them not since last year. Thanks to social media we’ve continued to be in touch, but it’s not the same as being together in person. What [...]
Staying with the tradition of keeping it short on a Sunday morning, today is August 1st and the summer is flying by. So what are you going to do today to close out the back half of the weekend and make it special? It’s definitely a day to just shut down business, although I’ll admit, I can’t [...]
I usually keep Sunday mornings short, not because it’s the one day of the week when traffic is light in Cyberspace, but because I don’t feel like writing very much (the truth comes out!). So, here’s what I’m thinking about this morning and I have to admit, the points are a little random.
It takes twice [...]
This is more for you newbies out there than the seasoned veterans, but yesterday was just a great day and spending the evening with Matthew Jordan Smith and Nozomi, just reminded me how special this industry really is. The longer you’re in it, the more links you have to other photographers. It’s like playing the [...]
Okay, so tomorrow is Monday (in our house we banned Mondays, so it’s referred to as “First Tuesday”) and I’m about to suggest you do one thing tomorrow that you never do, just to mix up your game a little.
Maybe it’s move your lights around in the studio. Maybe it’s spend some time on a [...]
Remind me to share some great stories about our health care system and how I spent the last week in two cities dealing with a less than co-operative gall bladder. I had a few “drafts” in my back up file, so thanks to my good buddy, Scott Bourne, the blog stayed alive with some good material. [...]
I like to keep it light on Sundays…No, I don’t – I just like to keep it short and to the point. So, here it is for this beautiful Sunday morning.
I’m back down in Florida again dealing with some family health challenges with my folks. My Dad keeps telling me how he’s never seen me [...]
