Goodbye, bitter cold…

So I left my newfound friend at the airport Hooters and said goodbye… And then it’s off to the Providence airport… One good thing about the Providence, RI airport – they have an arcade…   The bad… no Starbucks I made a lot of new friends on my journey back East, and thanks everyone for [...]

Mystic, Connecticut

Well, after taking a redeye flight to North Carolina, then connecting there and heading to Providence, RI, and driving an hour south through rain and snow, I’m finally here (okay, it wasn’t that bad, but to be fair, it has NEVER snowed anywhere I’ve ever lived). Anyway… it’s New England! Never been to Connecticut, and [...]

TRA Recipe Card #9 – The Bebbs

Last but not least, our good friends from Canadia – Jen & Steven Bebb!  The Bebbs run a heck of a successful studio out of Vancouver, and were recently included in American Photo’s list of the top ten wedding photographers in the world! On a side note – I don’t remember who shot that photo [...]

TRA Recipe Cards #8 – ME!

That’s right, yours truly, and my recipe for Totally Rad Actions sweetness…

TRA Recipe Cards #7 – Becker

Alright – next up in our exciting and action packed series of recipe cards for the Totally Rad Action Mix is the inimitable Becker.  10 Points to whoever knows his first name (and no, Jess you can’t play this one ;) )   (Neither can you, Chenin!)

TRA Recipe Cards #6 – Alt-F

Next up in the series – the very talented John and Dalisa Cooper of Alt-F Photography (ten points to the first person to tell me what that stands for – ten more if you can tell me why). John and Dalisa are our partners in crime for the Anti-Workshop.

Your Daily Dose of Cute

Saw this at a pet store… day before the matching sweaters… Probably belongs on Chenin’s blog, but what the heck…

Purse Dogs…

Just a random thought on dog ownership: If you’re going to be a guy with a purse, that’s cool (hey, I’m one of them, and proud to be). If you want to also have a purse dog, and keep it in your man purse, well I guess that’s fine, too. But geez, do you really [...]

TRA Recipe Cards #5 – Jessica Claire

Miss Claire needs no introduction, and she’s the fifth installment in our Totally Rad Actions Recipe Cards series.  Maybe now she’ll let me win a little at the next poker game…

TRA Recipe Cards #4 – Victor Sizemore

Next up for our Totally Rad Actions Recipe cards is my good buddy Victor Sizemore.  Vic does some awesome work, and was super-generous with his time, helping to work the booth at Imaging USA for all three days – best friend a guy could ask for… He’ll be appearing at ImageX later this year, along [...]

TRA Recipe Cards #3 – Joseph Victor Stefanchik

JVS is a super-talented, highly sought-after photographer in the Dallas area. He’s also a really nice guy. I remember when I was just getting started in weddings, his photography was simultaneously a source of inspiration and frustration. Really has a style all his own, and we’re pleased to say that he digs our actions, and [...]

TRA Recipes #2 – Susan Stripling

#2 in our series of recipes for the Totally Rad Action Mix is the lovely and talented Susan Stripling.

Colder than Cold

Just saw this little diddy on Surfline.com – I thought surfing the great lakes was a myth, but what the heck to I know… http://www.surfline.com/surfnews/article_bamp.cfm?id=13099

More Album Picks

So… I buy probably an average of a couple CDs a week. Yes, I know – so uncool in an age of .aac files delivered right to your pretty little iPod for $0.99 a song. But just like it took me about 10 years to switch from tapes to CDs, so I imagine it’ll probably [...]

TRA Recipe Cards #1 – Chenin

Hey gang – I’ve had a lot of requests for the recipe cards we had at our Imaging USA booth, so Chenin and I are going to be posting them here, one by one.  First up is my lovely wife.  The recipe cards have a photo on one side by a kickass photographer, and a [...]

Mystic #3

Well, it sounds like a creepy movie by M. Night. Shyamalan, but really it’s just a fun little day of seminars that’s happening in Mystic, CT on January 28. I’ll be there, rapping about Photoshop for a couple hours in the evening. Check out the lineup of presenters and get more info at THIS LINK. [...]

Blogging Again!

Okay, so I’ve had a bunch of little things I should have been blogging about (and some big ones), but I’ve been a blog slacker lately (as many of you have pointed out to me :) ), and haven’t posted since lord knows when…. so I’m just going to try to get all the news [...]
