Random Monday

It has been a shameful three weeks since my last post. I must say we have been very busy catching up on some work. I am glad to see the progress and the great advancements we are making. Speaking of great things, I recently found out that one of our shots has made the front cover of Planning Your Wedding, a supplement magazine to Business People. This is a great honor and I can’t wait to see it in print. The issue comes out on October 7th and I promised I wouldn’t post the front cover before the issue comes out. If you do get your hands on a copy be sure to check out our coupon in the back for a very special treat. Also on October 7th I plan on launching our new website. We are now using this amazing software called Show It Sites that has made website building easier than ever. I am overwhelmed with joy and completely excited to see what the future holds for us. Stay tuned, it looks like it will be fun.

P.S. Since I can’t post the cover of the magazine I am posting a random shot during my stroll downtown a few weeks back. I can’t post without showing you a picture!

Second Shooting

This last weekend I helped my friend Kenny Kim shoot two weddings in Chicago. Second shooting creates a great opportunity to try something new and challenge yourself. This weekend not only allowed me to try new photography techniques, but new life experiences. I experienced new food and culture while shooting both Asian weddings. I even had my first taxi cab ride! Kenny has been a great influence and inspiration on my business and life. I would encourage other photographers to second shoot at each others weddings. It is a lot of fun doing what you love with others who share the same passion.

Also for this last weekend's weddings I indulged myself by renting the new Nikon D700 camera body. My friend Paul at Lens Pro To Gohooked me up with this amazing camera. I am in love with the functions and abilities this full frame camera has. Just for fun I wanted to show you a fascinating image. The below ceremony shot was taken at an incredible 2,000 ISO!!! I intentionally did no adjustments in Photoshop to show you how amazing the D700 performs at high ISOs. Give Paul a call and try out something new and yes he does rent Canon equipment too. Have a great day!
