Well after a long weekend, I’m back to post. This weekend was busy shooting some different events like the Box Out, Relay for life and double header baseball. Thursday was a beautiful day for shooting with a nice blue sky and nice soft lighting. The box out is day where clubs in the college build a themed object for them to live in for the day. This years theme was our dream house, even though there wasn’t much interest I did get a few good PR shots of students at the event.

Its not the best video I created but HEY it won us first!!! It was a very hard topic for such a small run time.  Also we go there to film and its too cool for boats so we only saw 2 boats out all weekend.

Well after a long time not posting, I am back and ready to blog again.  School has slowed down and the business is starting to grow.  I just attended ITEA (International Technology Education Association) in Louisville, Kentucky, which is a national competition for all Technology Education majors across the US.  At the conference my team and I placed first in the Digital Communications competition.  This is an event where we are given a topic to follow and we must create a video in the given time.  This year our topic of the video was to create a 30 second public service announcement of the watercraft of the Ohio River.  We were given 2 days to produce this video including filming, editing, and also create a notebook.  We had 6 people on our team and I was the editor of the video.  It was a rough 2 days of working nevertheless we came out on top beating the other six schools in our event.  

I will be posting the video online in the next few days.

Well after a very very long weekend shooting swimming, I am back and fully recovered! Finally!!  I had a blast, it was very eye opening experience about swimming.  Never again will I take swimming for granit, it was one of the most competive sports I have ever watched.  Between the team events to the individual events, the emotion in the natatorium was so outstanding.  Well our CAL U girls really stepped up to the plate and 9 out of our 10 girls there are going to nationals in Texas!!  Well done girls, great job!!  I am waiting on the answer if I will be going with them to the national champtionship meet.  I hope I do it will be a blast and hey I have never been to Texas so keeping my fingers crossed.

As you can see my gallery site is up and running full-swing.  It seems to be working well and really doing what I need it to do.  Well done Zenfolio, they just added the option to sell digital files and I am still kind of leary about it but I am giving it a shot, I have added a full res download and also a desktop size that can be downloaded.  I am currently trying, (site seems to be down right now), to add a digital picture frame size option that customers can download a digital file sized for digital picture frames.  This was a request and it seems that more and more people are buying them so I will add the option.

Spring Break is tomorrow so shooting and relaxing will begin

Well I finally got my business cards in the mail.  I must say they are GREAT! The design is sleek and simple, I chose that because I can’t stand busy cards.  I ordered these from 4Over and they printed these (1000) in about a week and had them shipped.  The quality is wonderful, I will be using them much more.

This week I will be shooting at the PSAC swimming state championships.  I will be shooting a lot and will post some photos from championship

well another busy weekend done!  I shot the PASSHE conference which is the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.  I had a great time with these students and state staff.  I was asked to shoot the conference for later use and also for a picture sideshow.  They were all great people and I really enjoyed working with them.  Here are some shots from the conference.

Sorry about that, I had some technical difficulties in the upgrade of the blog.  So I decided since a lot of stuff wasn’t working correctly I would change the whole site around.

I must say the upgrade and wait was well worth it because the site looks much better and is much easier to handle.  Along with the new site, I finally got my online gallery/store up and running.  Photos can be purchased from the site directly and this will help you as the customer get prints faster and more user friendly.  Also the new upgrade of the blog was a must because the interface is cleaner and faster.

In the last few days and the days to come, I am shooting California Area High School senior action shots for their families.  I must say they are wonderful people and a great group of kids.  I really enjoy working for them on this project.

Please give me your thoughts on the new site, those are always welcome!

Well everything is good to go, I will be posting a lot more so keep checking up.
