Fun Of The Day

OK So I have been crazy busy today and have yet to take a SINGLE picture. So to take the place of a pic here is a video passed onto me from my co-worker Blake.

Fun Day Monday

Monday...monday...monday. What a day. I had a blast this weekend shooting a wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont NC and now...Monday. My monitor is covered with post-it notes of what I have to do this week and right now all I want to do is edit pictures. What gets me through my Mondays? Great music and interesting web sites. Check it out:

Music:

Caia, Olafur Arnalds, Pogo, Crystal Castles, Johann Johnnsson. Very good chill out ambient music.

Sites:
People of Walmart – Holy cow! This is Walmart’s finest at their finest!
Gizmodo – I’m a complete nerd and like to keep up on everything tech and some things not so tech
Lifehacker – se nerd note above
Failblog – Similar to People of Walmart


So I have also realized that I have yet to really write about myself on the blog. I think I’ll start changing that starting today. I’ll do my best to throw out a few interesting facts about me every day.

Fact #1 – I’m married to the love of my life, Meghan. She holds down the most important job in the family as stay at home mommy. To all of you stay at home moms out there my prayers go out to you all daily. Meghan is also, hands down the most selfless person I have known and will probably ever know. All the more reason I fall in love with her more each day.

Fact #2 – I have a watch addiction...so I have no reason to be late.

Well I hope the rest of YOUR Monday is great.

Photo Of The Day - Wedding Weekend

I had the amazing opportunity this weekend to second shoot a wedding with Anna Hollingsworth at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. Even though it was humid enough to drink the air the bride and groom were a blast!

Photo Of The Day - Finger Boards

Dang! I got stuck in slack mode for the past few days! It has been crazy busy at the office and home so I'm having to dip into the archives.

When things slow down you'll hopefully be seeing more flash photography shots. I just got a 60" umbrella and stand, so I'm going to take flash to the next level...even if it's only a few steps up. I have a lot to learn about flash photography. Especially after watching the OneLight Workshop DVD's. If you're a photographer and interested in lighting check them out. They are worth every penny.


So we have been CRAZY busy at the office but in our spare time enjoy a little finger boarding....well most everyone enjoys it, I have yet to learn how they exactly work....one day...

Photo Of The Day - HDR

A few weeks back we took a trip up to Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia for my grandfathers 80th birthday. I finally got around to editing some of the pictures down. These two I was fairly happy with.

Process: 3 shots were taken using exposure bracketing. 1 shot normal exposure, 1 shot over, 1 shot under. Both were hand held. Processed in Photomatix.
