Things around the studio

My big, beautiful windows in the studio have been recently my week point. At this point in time I might have overshot them and now with gorgeous sunny theys, they have become a source of solar heat and although they face West, it still get fairly warm. Thanks to Sara, my makeup artist, who discoveed that my antique refrigerator that I have been using as a prop actually works. At least now I can enjoy cold beer while sweating. I guess the next step is to get an AC unit in there and hope for the best. Anyway, as I was saying, I think I used the windows too much as a backdrop and started looking around what else can come in handy. ta da, enter my new step ladder. Here are few samples from my last couple of shoots. Enjoy !!!.

Here is Katie who will also be appearing in the Girl With the Cello project:


And here is Desiree, whom I just recently met through one my models, Carly:

Why it's good to listen

Sometimes I run out of ideas, especially after a very long shoot and that is when I start tunning in to those around me more then at any other time. A fun but long jewelry shoot left me tired, sweaty, and drinking my second six pack when one of the models say "hey, how about this". Here is the result.

READING MATERIAL

Here are some great selections for all you photographers. Remember, education is an investment, not an expense.

Memorial Day Weekend

Wow, speaking of super busy weekends. On Saturday, I had a wedding for a beautiful couple, Caitlin and Griffin. Thank you guys for not only trusting me to shoot your wedding, but also thank you for your patience as I dragged you all over the city to get some portraits done. We started Saturday morning and the weather worked against us, however we were able to finish up the day after the reception and all was good. Great family !!! Then Sunday afternoon we went on our annual trip to Burlington to party at the annual Chocolate Fest. Sorry folks, sometimes I don't bring my camera so I can concentrate on the kids, the fun, and all the tasty festival food so no pictures. Our friends came with us and we all had fun especially that the weather was perfect. Monday was a wind down time with family. Today...back to business. Let me close this with a portrait of Caitlin and Griffin.

Awareness Campaign

So I met this wonderful lady name Jennifer Berendt who happens to be the rep for the Yellow Pages. To make a long story short, all you sales people out there need to learn from her. Oh, and you would like an ad in the Yellow Pages, call Jennifer at 262-797-4830. You'll be surprised what she can do for you.
So speaking of that, here is what my ad will look like. It features one of my favorite models, Carly. Thank Carly for bringing that hat. Maybe we didn't pull a rabbit out of it but we did get some awesome shots. And now.....the ad. what do you think?

After a long absence

Whew, it's been a while but I promise, it has been a very busy and productive time. So, first and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who came by my studio during this weekend's Art Crawl. I had a chance to speak to many of you and met some fantastic people. I hope the choice of wine of Friday was to your liking and special thanks to my wife for prepping all those sandwiches. I do have to say that I was extremely pleased with people's response to my infra red work. Art prevails one more time. Feel free to keep up on it as my newest website, I Love East Side dot com , begins to take shape over the next few weeks.
That's about it for now. Time to go to bed, Chicago trip tomorrow.
