Photo Lessons by Joe McNally
I took a break from designing and sketching ideas for this weekend’s event setup to check the web feeds. Had a good laugh when I came across this napkin art. I’ve had some pretty cool photography instructors, mentors and inspirations. Still nobody illustrates his or her work as simply and geek friendly as the famous [...]
Read More..>>Seeing Something Invisible
If you’ve looked at a photography magazine or seen any photo-centric websites or forums you know there’s been a tidal wave of new digital SLR cameras flooding the lineup of already pretty awesome cameras out there. Newer, faster, shinier, a couple extra megapixels… it’s crazy how quickly new cameras are being introduced!
This summer it was [...]

Art Beat came and went in four and a half hours. I, for one, think that for all the work put into it, the Beat should be a weekend fest or at least a day-long event. Being sandwiched between Labor Day weekend [...]

We started at hair & makeup around 11am, shot through 6pm, hung out till 9pm [...]

Trash the Dress
First off, serious props to Sara for all her hard work, logistics and brainstorming to put this day together. Couldn’t have done it or had this much fun without you, babe.

Summer Newlyweds by Holga
Last summer I picked up the classically cheap and funky photo making Holga camera as part of my creative escape from the immediacy and trigger happy shooting of digital photography. The Holga has become a quick low tech favorite of mine, and I’ve had some pretty cool candid snaps printed from some of our summer [...]
