unprofessional wedding photographer

As a wedding photographer, sometimes I take (and keep) photos that are not flattering to the photo subject. That may seem unprofessional of me, I know.

I don’t even care.

Those are real moments that make the wedding (or party or portrait) genuine and not staged.

I love moments like that.

SO! In honor [...]

eBook review: How to Shoot your Kids!

Waaaaay back about a year ago when I launched Lemon and Raspberry, I created a small, free ebook with 3 simple techniques to get better photos. It’s still available, but it probably needs a redesign, and frankly – I’ve found a more thorough replacement to recommend.

Our friend Maggie just released [...]

I make Andrew come with me to as many as I can (it’s not as fun going alone), and recently we went to the Getty Center to catch the Irving Penn “Small Trades” exhibit before it [...]

San Diego Museum of Art – Richard Avedon – Portraits of Power

The last weekend in August, we drove down to San Diego (just for Sunday) to see a photography exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art on Richard Avedon’s Portraits of Power.

I’m fairly certain I have never been to the San Diego Museum of Art … and if I have I must have [...]

I’m such a great helper

I often get to assist Amy at her photography gigs. I like to joke around that I’m her second shooter (2nd Shooters, whispered, throwing the metal sign!) but I’m really just the guy that watches the gear and holds the bags. It’s a lot of fun because I know it’s easier for her to [...]

lots of thinking today …

so … today. … not going to work … have class in a few hours … I’ve been having a very … cerebral (?is that the word I want) morning of homework and dreaming and brainstorming …

I’ve been reading Elsie Flannigan’s blog (elsieflannigan.blogspot.com) all morning … that girl is awesome … she’s pretty [...]
