Stunt Groom? Jackpot.
While yesterday was abuzz with the new iPhone OS3.0 updates, I’ve got to hand it to Sprint’s clever direct-connect commercials. And of course, I’m a fan of all things production related. And iPhones. Just to set the record straight.
What if film crews ran the world? On wedding days!
No rain, no rainbows! I’m [...]
Read More..>>If I had a band…
Insider secret! Part of the tech crew ritual at the Underground Cafe is, before the show, to take the schedule of bands playing, and *creatively alter* their names. Ya know, Sharpie some new letters into their already cool name. Call it boredom during overly-long sound checks, new bands on stage that say they don’t need [...]

This junk never ceases to amaze. There’s a reason I’m not using Myspace too often, well several reasons, and this bulletin hoax is my favorite reason yet.
From Mr. Tom Jones (Manager of Myspace).

Track the pack
I am a geek. This is not news.
Years back I set up shipping accounts for shipping all kinds of goodies in eBay auctions. I worked in shipping and receiving for a while before being shipped out to live on a ship. I like logistics.
One of the sites that makes keeping track of our album orders, [...]

Wedding photographers have it easy, we only have to work one day a week. (ha!)
Let’s review this one by the numbers:
Running on 2 hours of sleep (excitement is contagious)
in 20 minutes at 2am I will have been up for 24 hours since those 2 hours of sleep
it took 6 hours of car travel and
2 Amp [...]
Two cold December
It’s 2˚ … TWO DEGREES! When you add to that freezing rain and snow you can walk across but not dent because it’s a solid sheet of ice… it’s too cold.
Two cold* for me… stay toasty!
* Note that I understand and enjoy demonstrating the different uses of to, too and two. Saying it’s “two cold” [...]
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..>>Food for thought
A group of photographer friends and colleagues are planning a dinner night out to talk photo, ideas, things geeky and laugh. They’re gathering at a Chinese Buffet I frequented in high school. It was the closest restaurant to school and we always took a bunch of eggrolls back to class.
One photographer replied that [...]

Monday Makeshfit Mayhem – the SuperSquid
It’s been a rainy day here in South Bend. Great for indoor work getting caught up, unpacking stuff from Art Beat (still finding glitter everywhere) and getting a few quick projects out of the way while photos back up and get sent out for orders.
Introducing the SuperSquid. Location photographer’s battery charging helper.
