Looking for that perfect something for your sweetheart on Valentines Day?

I was having a little PhotoShop fun today…

I was thinking about how I could incorporate some of my new funky-artsy look into my everyday work. So, I pulled up a few images from 2007 and started playing with them. Just for kicks, here are a few before and after samples:

After: This one is more subtle, but still better, I think.
Before: Nice.
After: I like the mood and tone of this after-image.

Surfing in Southern California
January 15, 2008 – 10:50 am
During Saturday’s engagement session, the surf was going off. I’ve always wanted to do surfing shots, but have never taken the time out to try. I’ve really become out of touch with when the waves are good for photos because I just don’t seem to have the time anymore. But, Saturday was a good day.
I think I’m going to make a concerted effort to get out and do this more often. It was great just being out there and snapping a few pics.
You gotta love SoCal in the winter

I was just having a little fun this morning. Jemma wanted to get all dressed up in her Easter dress.
Just got back from Tampa
January 9, 2008 – 9:00 am
Whew! What an exhilarating and exhausting experience at the Digital Wedding Forum convention in Tampa, Florida. I just got back and feel exhilarated.
For the past 3 years, the DWF convention has been in Las Vegas. For those of us in SoCal, that’s really awesome because Vegas is so close. This year, they decided to switch it up and have it in Tampa. Having never been to Florida, I thought it might be cool to go. But, I wasn’t prepared for the great experience I had there.
This is Amy Prutch and I at the convention.
I truly feel inspired after this experience. Many of those who spoke at the various seminars were extremely inspiring. I didn’t feel like I was being sold to or that anyone even cared about “selling” anything. There was a genuine willingness to teach and drive photographers to be better than they are today by looing inside and finding that something that pushes us one step further towards where we want to be. Tony Hewitt, a Australian based photograper, asked us, “Would the child you were be proud of the adult you’ve become?” That’s a pretty powerful question and one that requires an answer from all of us; not just photographers, but anyone reading this.
At any rate, I’m glad I made the long journey on a cramped little tin can of an airplane for 5 hours to visit this event, see some of my friends and associates from all over the world, make new friends, and find inspiration for what I do.
A special thanks to Jeff Caplan, owner of DWF, for making it all happen. It takes a tremendous effort to pull something like this off.
Zoe & Michael, 12-29-07 in Palos Verdes Estates
January 3, 2008 – 10:00 am
Zoe and Michael were my last wedding in 2007. They got married at the Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes Estates. Then off we went to the Virginia Country Club in Long Beach for the reception. I’m not even close to finishing with this wedding, but I took some time out to get a few of my favorties on my blog as a teaser for Zoe & Michael and their family. I know they are anxious to see at least a few.
…and this I hadn’t seen before. But, the groom got handcuffed for the garter removal. It was hilarious!
