A blog about blogging

Yesterday I came across a random tweet about an event being held last night, and I decided I’d check it out – see what it had to offer. The event was a networking event for blog writers local to the San Diego area, and I had seen their name in a few tweets from some…

Andy - Nice write up, awesome picsDecember 20, 2011 – 1:02 pm

Tim - @Justin – yes. Quality, not quantity. Something that was difficult for me to learn going to these things. Talking with someone for a long time is much more worth it than meeting a ton of people and chit-chatting about the same surface stuff.

JM – I was using the 50mm – shot these at 1.4, 1/40th 1600 & 3200 ISO.December 16, 2011 – 1:36 pm

Ashley Goodwin - Seems like a lot of fun! Happy to see some shots “for you” because that doesn’t happen often! And that giant door? I would have stared at it for a long time before I figured out how it worked. Seriously. I can see my perplexed look now…December 16, 2011 – 11:31 am

JM - What lens were you using / and what ISO? Very sharp, clear pictures for such a low-light, indoor setting without using flash.December 16, 2011 – 10:07 am

Justin Douglas - Did you get a lot of connections?December 16, 2011 – 10:00 am

Tim - @Mom – how do you know what foursquare is?December 16, 2011 – 8:24 am

Lisa - So what’s the latest on foursquare?December 16, 2011 – 8:10 am

Prohibition Photobooth

Recently shot a photo booth at a downtown venue “Bootlegger” for the season premier party of the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire”. The venue had this awesome back-room that was specifically for guests who want to enjoy a speak-easy type vibe.  What’s really cool about the room is that when you order a drink, the bar…

Justin Douglas - Love the feel of the photos.December 15, 2011 – 7:45 pm

Jen - haha – these are great :)December 15, 2011 – 6:59 pm

Ashley Goodwin - yo dude, these are fun! Being a fan of Boardwalk Empire myself, I’d agree. the B&W is perfection.

Wait. What was the magic wand in the back of your car for? Ohhh the things that fall out of your trunk when you do photobooths. And I was wondering if you set up a tripod for your photobooths because they are always the same height but I see here you didn’t, I like the different angles! Way to work the furniture!December 15, 2011 – 1:43 pm

Dan Dilworth - Just the right hint of tone to these B&W’s to give them that 1920′s feel buddy. Great selective use of post to drive the concept home!December 15, 2011 – 12:16 pm

Cabo San Lucas Wedding – Sherri & Brendan (Welcome Reception)

While I’ve been against the idea of doing “Part 1″ and “Part 2″ wedding posts, I couldn’t help but “not” do it with this wedding.  There were so many images that I liked, it would have been a monster post if squeezed into one. (A quick note – I want to let you know that…

Surf & Sand Full Day PR Shoot

A majority of my work outside of weddings is public relations – and they’ve served as a great tool for getting creative “on the spot”.  As in, the shoots consist of a collection of ideas they’ve gathered to promote seasonal packages or menu items – but some kind of tie-in for the hotel. Just recently…

Maria - Awesome food shots! Did you use your macro lens?
Great job thinking outside the box for your last shot, perfect lighting for the look you were aiming for.December 14, 2011 – 1:30 pm

Lisa Faulkner - I love the first & third yoga shots cuz I’m a sucker for being on the beach during the magic hour and these two make me feel that. Sara! no need for a vacation come to the beach with me and do sensual yoga/S in the sand (or photograph me and whoever I convince to join us!)December 13, 2011 – 10:16 am

Mioara Dragan - Wish I got to hang out on the beach / at the pool / eat delicious grub during MY shoots… >_<December 12, 2011 – 9:36 pm
