This past Friday, I shot the Alterna Fashion show for 944 magazine in Coronado. This is the 3rd annual show they’ve had, and I’ve been there to cover it the previous 2 years as well. Without a doubt, I can say that this show is the most well-produced & well-coordinated fashion event I’ve seen in…
Whoops! Rough scooter-crash in the US Virgin Islands. (PS – if you want to see the images from the wedding I shot while I was in St John, click here) [Skip to 2:30 if you want to fast-forward to the slide-show] Share

Omg Tim, my stomach almost couldn’t take the last half. Ahhhh >_<
So glad you're ok though. Love your attitude!
Favorite part is you repeating the word 'hospital' incredulously at the end.
As if it's something completely ludicrous for a guy in your situation. *Dork.May 30, 2011 – 9:11 pm
You have a good attitude. I would have lost it.
Saw you on Creative Live a while back. The thing about paying your mom back with a bag of money stuck with me, super awesome.May 27, 2011 – 12:26 am
Man that really is a bummer but good thing you didn’t let it ruin your trip. OHHH and be honest… Did the video end because the guy who stopped started wiping your knee down!!!???? You don’t have to lie to kick itMay 26, 2011 – 10:54 am
Ouch!!! Glad you are okay. Nice of the guys in the truck to stop over and help. What a tropper…going around still with bloody knees and all…kickazz!!May 26, 2011 – 8:28 am
I feel like you’re talking to me!

Thanks for this Tim! TOTALLY needed that little “don’t sweat the small stuff” message today! You snapped me out of it! Glad you’re doing ok over there! Let’s try again to hang when you get back home!May 24, 2011 – 11:21 am
Headed out to St John to shoot a wedding this weekend, and with this little rainstorm here in San Diego – I don’t think I’ll mind the break! PS – the first person to comment below and tell me EXACTLY where this photo was taken gets a $10 iTunes gift card PPS – this was…
I don’t know where that Is, but MAN would I love to go there! Looks soooo peaceful! Just really wanted to say that I hope you have the most wonderful time in St. John’s. I hope you will be posting some pictures!! Safe travels!!May 23, 2011 – 1:44 pm
Tahoe, east side by the sand beach.May 20, 2011 – 9:31 am
It looks a lot like my backyard. So I’m thinking Rockingham Beach, Western AustraliaMay 18, 2011 – 5:09 pm
That’s Sand Harbor in Tahoe. I shot a wedding there :)May 18, 2011 – 11:15 am
Dude St John? You’re going t have a stellar weekend! Say hello to St Croix and Thomas for me while you’re out there.May 18, 2011 – 11:12 am

So as you’ve noticed, I’ve been caught up and torn away from my love for my blog the past week – clients have been very demanding, and eager to hire me for gigs :) While I’d LOVE to do a full post on all of these, I don’t think I’d really have the time/spread in…
Couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried. You’re the man, no doubt! Great work!! And I pretty much want to be you when I grow up ;)May 31, 2011 – 9:07 pm
You rock, Tim! It is such a pleasure to work with you. Thanks for all your amazing work. So many more projects to come…May 18, 2011 – 10:55 pm
Hot damn! You are good at what you do, Tim King! Seriously, every single image blows me away. Glad to hear you’ve been busy! xoMay 17, 2011 – 2:10 pm
goodness you ARE one busy guy! every shoot is just amazing and you’re great at capturing so many different settings! i LOVE the Solo glasses shoot. You capture people so naturally. I don’t know when you sleep.May 17, 2011 – 1:39 pm
that cinco demayo photobooth is amazing.May 17, 2011 – 10:46 am
DUDE.
Seriously. I’m speechless.
Not only are ALL of these blowing my mind, but holy shit you HAVE been busy! I can’t hate on our lack of skype dates then, huh?
I am sure you had a great time at the WSJ meetings picking up every tidbit you can from those billionaires! & shooting for Susan G. Komen, what an honor and humbling experience!
The cheese plate shot looks so appetizing, you truly are so good at everything. It infuriates me. Haha. You’re incredibly talented on so many levels, so excited for what’s in your future!
Hey! Hook a sistah up with those wooden shades!
Oh! How do you get these edited so quickly?May 17, 2011 – 7:32 am
lovely pictures. You’ve definitely been busyMay 17, 2011 – 7:23 am
One of the trickiest things as a sole proprietor is figuring out how to price your services. You, yourself, make the decision on how much you are going to charge people – including your friends, acquaintances, and estranged family. In a perfect world, we could provide our services for free to everyone in a joyous…

great post! you have to take yourself seriously if you want others to. So many of my friends are getting married or having babies and i can’t do it all for free! i have to put my foot down at some point and so far they understand! ( i should ask them if they’re willing to help me hide a body :)May 16, 2011 – 11:10 am
:) Awesome post, again. The friends-or-acquaintances-that-you-met-once-at-a-party who want hookups. Fun times to deal with… :/May 13, 2011 – 10:06 am
Would you help ME hide a body? Better answer yes, got some work that needs to be done! Seriously though, this is a great concept, sometimes I do struggle with who to hook-up and who to NOT hook-up. When is it just the right thing to do and when are you screwing yourself, so good call!
The girlfriend/family section is quite possibly my favorite of the two. My I suggest an addition to the post? Photographer friends!! :)
Groupon is such a tempting idea for some, I am sure, but it is TOTALLY dangerous! Not only do you get locked into a contract, but I have heard of photographers who signed up to do this, got tons of clients, yes, (but clients they didn’t necessarily want, I am sure) and then they were BOMBARDED with work and couldn’t keep up. This killed their business and reputation and the clients got the shaft. Just not a good idea all in all. I would never purchase a service like that from Groupon, just restaurant deals! :)
Once again, friend, a super helpful post!May 10, 2011 – 9:45 am
