The more I read and listen to people about business, the more I hear that blogs and sites should only be about a specific thing. So in my case the blog and the site should only be about one thing, a narrow focus into photography, such as wedding photography. So I took a break from the photo of the week, and was concentrating on focusing 100% of my thoughts on wedding photography. But the more I think about it, the more I really love the photo of the week. I love having something to share each week, and I love having something different to do and share… So I think I am going to keep the photo of the week going. I am going to try and make this blog a bit diverse, since I love to shoot a wide range of subjects. I think it will show a larger spectrum of what I do. Our main site will be a bit more focused, but here on the blog, I am going to roam a little, post things I love, things I am working on… Including the “Photo of the week…” So with all that being said, here is this weeks photo:

This weeks shot comes from a shoot that Simon and I did last weekend with Emmanuel. We wandered the streets of Milwaukee and created some nice images. I am currently editing the shoot, so look out for some more of Emmanuel soon…

Let me know what you think about the “Photo of the week” I would be interested to hear what people thought? Should I keep it up?

Yesterday was my first official attempt to make some stock photographs. It is completely different from the type of photography I am used to, but it was a lot of fun. I think it will also be a good learning tool on the technical and business side of my photography.

So with that, I give you my favorite shot from yesterday. Simon McConico being CRUSHED by irons:

Thanks to MMD for finding and holding the irons, and thank you Simon for your elastic face.
