No Excuses: Part 1
As a rule, photographers are not always presented with them most amazing places, light, subjects, situations, weather, etc. to shoot. If you shoot formal events like I do, then you know that very often you are presented with some of the worst shooting situations possible. You show up to the venue to at 2pm to [...]
Finally! A working iPad
Finally! My iPad woes are over. Last Friday I stood in line at my local BestBuy and bought an iPad 3G. I am very happy to report that the screen, as well as the rest of the device, has worked perfectly. I had a chance to use the cellular network quite a bit this weekend [...]
The Return of the iPad
It is with much sorrow that I contacted Apple customer service last week to get an RMA for my iPad. OK, so maybe that is a little over dramatic. None the less I was not happy about returning it, but it was time. If you stalk me on the web at all, you know this [...]
The Gear I Use To Shoot A Wedding
Everyone has their preferences as to what gear they use to shoot in different situations. I figured I would share what I use, and I think it gets the job done every time! Check it out.
My Help Portrait Experience
I really should have titled this post, “How to Stop Paying So Much Attention to Myself.” As a kid, my family was very active in our Southern Baptist church.

Flickr App for the iPhone is LAME!
I’ve been hoping for a long time that Yahoo would release a really cool app for Flickr. There have been a number of 3rd Party Apps that access Flickr, but most lack a number of features I would have liked to see Yahoo dominate into one feature rich and totally awesome app. Well when I [...]
Everything you ever wanted to know about Memory Cards, but were afraid to ask…
What brand of card should I buy? How large of a card should I buy? What can I do to prevent corrupting my memory card and losing photos? I, along with some of my colleagues, answered a lot of memory card questions like these in a photography forum earlier this week. I thought now would [...]
iPhone 3GS & OS 3.0 are here!
I picked up my 32 Gig iPhone 3GS today. Closest store that had it was a BestBuy. I was happy that they had them in stock, but best of all there was no wait to buy. It made me feel sorry for all the people standing in line hours at the Apple Stores. The phone [...]
