I made a comment on Twitter the other day about how it saddens me when I receive comments on album designs asking me to fill in all of the white spaces with pictures. Apparently this hit a chord with a bunch of people and my friend & fellow photographer Seshu asked me to guest blog on Tiffinbox about this very subject. So please go over and have a read if this interests you as a photographer or as a buyer of photography.
So now I want to talk to you, my clients...past, present and future to address an issue that can tend to arise during the album design process. Here's how it usually goes. You make your image selections that you would like to see go into your wedding album and I put together a proof design for you based on what I feel is the best layout for the images

Well I think I posted my bio clip from Shutter Wars pretty much everywhere but here and I can't believe I forgot to share it on my blog, oops! Shutter Wars is a photographer competition webisode series created by photographer Armin Defiesta. A couple of weeks ago I flew to DC to be a judge on this really awesome project. I had so much fun meeting all of the fantastic contestants and working with fellow judges Nicole Wolf and Douglas Sonders. I think the first webisode debuts on February 10th so be sure to check it out!
And here's me just blabbering on video. :)

Hello all. I can't believe that January is almost over already. And with February now looming in the not-so-distant future, it's time to start planning for what will come with it...and that is WPPI. For those non-photographers reading this, WPPI stands for Wedding & Portrait Photographers International. It is a huge convention held in Las Vegas every year and this will be my 9th year in a row attending. What can I say, aside from all of the knowledge I've picked up over the years, I've made some valuable friendships with photographers from all over the world and many of them I get to see just once a year as we all descend on and attempt to take over the strip for a few days.
This year I'll fly in on February 18th, catch the Joe McIntyre/ Emanuel Kiriakou show at the Palms, hang out with the Pictage people at the
