Emmanuel


I am a little tired as I write this post tonight. So it is going to be short. Emmanuel, Simon and I ran about Milwaukee a while back, making some images, and having a good time. One of my favorite parts about photography is the people you get to meet and interact with, being that other photographers, creatives, models, clients, or people you meet on the street… It is so enjoyable to meet and work with new people. So here is Emmanuel…

Photo of the week | March 28 2009


So I have been going back and forth about the “Photo of the week”. 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?



The Stock Life


One of the new ventures I am diving into is the world of Stock Photography. 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.
