2017 Weddings

We are approaching what is probably the most important month in the wedding vendor business, the first month of the year. January is the month when couples start the search for their wedding service providers for spring and summer weddings. So as a photographer, I am making sure I am doing whatever I can to … Continue reading 2017 Weddings →

Christmas Gifts

With the Christmas gift season at hand, I thought I would write a quick post about the ordering process for gifts and prints from my website. First of all, please do not be concerned that you are going to cause me to be overworked! Back in the day I tried to manage orders that people … Continue reading Christmas Gifts →

Out of the Darkness

I don't know how this piece turned out this way. I was going to write a long post on opening a studio. So I was going to throw it out and start over, but I thought, "This is raw stuff, maybe it will help someone going through hard times?". So I'm not even going to … Continue reading Out of the Darkness →

Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday

I know, Thanksgiving would have been a much more appropriate time for a blog message... but I was working on Thanksgiving Day and was kind of bummed about that and didn't really feel very thankful about it.

I had high hopes of seeing abundant wildlife, based on the reports of my competitors who had made the trip in previous … Continue reading Back Button Focus →

A Time to Shoot

Unquestionably, the most enjoyable part of being a stock photographer is the shooting. For a photographer there is nothing quite like planning a shoot, looking at the maps, researching the wildlife and getting the equipment ready. Sometimes a special event will bring me out, like a bike race, music festival or a big storm in … Continue reading A Time to Shoot →

Excellent Adventure

Well it appears that I am back in business after a couple of months without my favorite lens, my Canon 70-200 zoom. It finally came back from the Canon repair shop with a broken roller replaced.. whatever that is, and some lubrication, cleaning and refocusing. I've had it back for a little while, but too … Continue reading Excellent Adventure →

Seasons Change

Seasons change ahead of time for us stock photographers. Ad campaigns are planned and images chosen ahead of time and I need to switch gears to stay ahead of the curve. Fortunately, with my lens broken and weeks of downtime to look forward to I have a wealth of imagery from last winter to draw … Continue reading Seasons Change →
