WPPI 2010

Like several dozen other event filmmaker friends (and about 11,000 photographers,) I will be spending the weekend and part of next week in Las Vegas, Nevada for the annual WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) Conference.

My email response during this time might be slower than usual and/or written via iPhone :-) Please bear with me until my return to the studio on Thursday, March 11th.

Until then, you can know what I'm up to by following me on Twitter or check back on this blog frequently. I will (attempting to) blog fairly frequently. Again; using my iPhone.

If there is something more pressing or urgent, please text me or call me on my cell!

have a great week!

ABC's of Disney

Earlier this week, I went to Los Angeles for a brief detox and family facetime session with my wife and kids. I've been gone so much during wedding season that this was a welcomed (and necessary!) break. Here is a fun thing I did while at Disneyland and California Adventures theme parks... Check it out!

A (Brief) Mexico Retrospective video

This is just a tiny sneak peek of some of the cool stuff I saw on my awesome destination wedding to Mexico! No weding footage, just other stuff.

Some timelapse clouds and sunsets and a lot of airplane footage (it's a little disporportionate because I was so bored on the plane I ended up shooting a lot of that. :-) Forgive me!

Enjoy the video!

Some Mexico Pictures (part four)

After the wedding was over, my wife Annie, and I were able to celebrate our 11th year anniversary while down in Mexico. Here are some random photos I took of stuff that I saw.

No explanations necessary... just picutres of what I saw. :-)

Warning: Geeky photography talk coming up...

The first and fourth images are HDR composites based on two exposures.

The final three images have no color correction done to them. If you're interested in seeing the exposure settings, visit my Facebook photo album where you can often see photos before they're posted here on the blog...

Some Mexico Pictures (part three)

Here are more photos of our trip to Mexico for Joemar and April's wonderful destination wedding...

A brief description of each:

This is a shot of the Villa at which our awesome clients, April and Joemar, held their reception.

Another sunset shot of the view from the villa.

This is the street just outside the villa at the end of the wedding day when we were wrapping up and heading home. (I know I skipped over the actual wedding portion of the trip, but highlights will be coming soon.)

A shot of the streets of Puerto Vallarta and capping off the photoset, one more photo of the view from the Villa.

Some Mexico Pictures (part two)

Here are some more images from our wedding in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. These images are from day two, our location scout day.

Quick descriptors of each:

I shot with Augie Chang (who, if you've ever seen his blog, you know is very fond of "jumping shots")

We had wonderful food at the hotel restaurant. Including our collective favorite, the fresh ceviche!

The view from the reception site was incredible. I caught this wonderful sunset using HDR photography (high dynamic range.) If you think this sunset photo is cool, wait until you see the high-definition timelapse video that I shot!

Our hotel was nestled in a mountain side and there was countless little critters running about. Cool for nature-lovers like me. (Not so much for my wife. :-)

Lastly, here's one of my favorite shots of Puerto Vallarta. The motorcyles in the forground and the palm trees reflected in the mirror.

Reframe Austin part 5

One of the many cool experiences at the Re:Frame conference, Austin, is that I got to test out many other cameras and hang out with some cool friends. Here's a quick video shot entirely with the Canon 5D Mark II.

Hawaiian Vacation - Day 8

On our eighth day in paradise, we did the touristy drive up to the north shore area of Oahu where the we watched sea turtles swim, ate garlic shrimp and shaved ice at Oahu's most famous eateries. No wait. We didn't watch sea turtles at famous eateries... that sentence was weird.

Anyway, here are some pictures of that excursion!

Looking for sea turtles.

Looking...

...still looking...

Oh look! There's one! I think it's a robot (see the antennae on its back?)

There's another.

Yikes! It's coming up on shore! RUN!!

 

Good times.
