Added a gallery of not really outtakes but just ones that were similar to the ones I uploaded for purchase to PicsCliq or were too small to print properly there.

I have to say that this was a super fun wedding to shoot. The weather was perfect, everyone had a great time and it was also my birthday. It makes a great birthday when you can spend it doing what you love to do.

Ok, so I kind of failed at my weekly blogging attempt. I seem to be lucky to get a monthly one in. I am going to give it another go though. I have a couple ideas in mind to make myself update this more often. One of the things I plan on doing is instead of posting full galleries on my Facebook pages I’m going to start just posting a teaser image there, then post a few of my favorite images from a set here on the blog and then the full gallery will be posted on my Zenphoto galleries. That will give me more control over the quality of the images too since Facebook likes to compress the hell out of uploads unless you use the hi-res option but that is way too slow.

Also I’m finalizing my price list and services offered page so that will be live soon. I’ve registered for some seminars and workshops to get a better grip on the business end of photography so there’s a good chance the prices will change after I complete those. That’s a month or so off though.

Until next time remember…

I really want to start doing a weekly full blog post, not just a random post of a few sentences like I do currently. Biggest problem with the idea is that writing for me is almost as painful as public speaking. Back in my whiskey drinking days I used to fill up notebooks thinking I was going to be the next Bukowski. Those days are thankfully over and the notebooks are as about as coherent as any any other drunk twenty-something’s writings are. If you want to read something that bad just go pick up something by Jim Morrison. It’s been about thirteen years since I’ve really sat down and written something longer than a few paragraphs which is coincidentally about how long I’ve been an internet junkie. This could get interesting.

So anyway, now I need to come up with a consistent theme. The only thing I love as much as photography is music so I guess I’ll try to come up with articles that tie the two together. I’m setting myself a deadline of June 1st to come up with the first one. If you’re an English major try not to laugh too much at whatever I put up here.

Took the lens off an otherwise useless old Argus C3 and mounted it to a Nikon body cap to use as a macro lens on my D90. It loses the ability to focus other than physically moving the camera toward or away from the subject but other than that it works really well. Click photo for full size version.

Wish this was me fishing in the river but even that takes more energy than I’ve had lately. I was proud of myself for   summoning  the energy to take a walk along the greenway.
