Thanks, and have a great weekend.

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.

Let me know what you think about these before and after images.

Enjoy your day! :)

Just got back from Tampa

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.

I found out that I was recently added to My Fox LA. If you get a moment, please click on this link: http://myfoxla.cityvoter.com/details.aspx?business=69488 and leave a nice comment or two.

Thank you in advance.

We’re Closed for the Holidays

I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed from Friday, December 21, 2007 until Wednesday, January 2, 2008. We will not be returning emails or phone calls in that time.

I hope everyone has an awesome holiday, and I hope that 2008 turns out to be your best year ever!

Happy Holidays,

Jerry

Looking for Bands & Musicians

I typically have a little down time between now and the end of March. Weddings slow down a bit, and portraits too. So, it gives me time to do a little personal work, if I want to. One of the things I love to do is shoot musicians. Having been in bands in the past, I love being able to stay close to that world.

If you are in a band, or if you are muscian, and need pics, please get in touch with me. The price is very reasonable, and the images turn out pretty good too. :)
Cheers.

Holiday Announcement!

I have re-released all my 2007 online wedding galleries. So, if I shot your wedding in 2007, your gallery is up and active through Decmeber 15th, 2007. Your password is still the same as it was before. If you don’t remember your password, shoot me an email, and I’ll send it to you. The best part is that the galleries have a 25% discount on all orders over $50. :)

Prints make great gifts for friends and family.

Happy Holidays!

Enjoy,
Jerry
