I had the opportunity to shoot a bunch of great volunteers donating to a good cause. The Downingtown Home Depot contributed the cabinetry for the new Safe Harbor Shelter construction project in West Chester and a bunch of employees donated their time to come in and install them. It was a great act of kindness and caring by a very responsible group of people. I was asked by Safe Harbor to shoot it and I spent most of the day following the installation of the cabinets (as well as the washers and dryers for the shelter) in a few places around the under-construction shelter. Take a look at these folks in the slideshow and the next time that you see them giving you the great customer service that you get at the Home Depot ......just give them a word of thanks.
Remember that "old' tradition of taking an engagement print to the reception and putting it in a frame with a wide mat so that people could write in it? Nice thought and idea....but what are you really going to do with that print and mat long term? the back of the garage, correct.
We have a great (and one of a kind that you won't see at other Studio's) product called the Digital Guest Book. I'll explain it to you if you call, but suffice it to say that it's an ALBUM (simple and inexpensive) version of the "old" engagement print and mat idea. I've got some samples of Guest Book pages in this slide show. Call me if you want more information.
As you know, I'm doing a photoessay on the Italian (9th Street) Market in Philly. It's a yearlong project involving shooting images but also adding "sound" (background sounds and interviews) to the slideshows. Here's a first cut at the first one, just a sample.
I share studio space in an old Church (honestly) in South Philly with a recording Studio......Fifth Stone Studio. Making a long story short, my friend Mariano who owns/runs Fifth Stone is partnering with a well known Music Producer and recording expert to form Philly Sound Studios (PSS) in Mariano's church-Studio. As a part of this, the caliber of music that we (and I) will now be working with is going to improve dramatically.
A prime example is these past two weekends, when they recorded and I shot.....We The Kings, All Time Low, Joshua Radin, Jason Castro (an American Idol Finalist) and the winner of this years' American Idol contest......Kris Allen. I've put together a little slide show of some of the images.
The Digital Wedding Forum (SWF) is an online site for wedding photographers. My membership gets me very good things from the Forum. They also have recently started "Wedfog" (strange name), which is an online place to search out wedding photographers.....and wedding photography information in general, for wedding couples. It's free for wedding couples..... http://wedding-photographers-directory.com/ .
I just started up my site on Wedfog. And I started it with some of my better wedding images for my Gallery on their site. I've put them in a slideshow that you can view here......
Please take a look at my site on Wedfog.......thanks.
This is an old slideshow that I did for a Gallery show here in West Chester, when the Art Scene was still around. It's about the ballet and a company that I shot for a long time and did a photoessay on. I was just looking at/listening to it today and decided to post it for you all to see and hear. I hope that you enjoy this one, it's one of my most favorite.
Thanks for stopping by to view my new Blog. I'll be adding material from each weeks wedding to the blog, so please stop by again to see our new work. I put this little video, with the music selection, together to not only show samples of our work, but to also give you a little feel for the style and "focus" of our wedding shoots.
I hope that you enjoy the video. Please feel free to add a comment if you feel so moved.........
