I have a favorite Photographer…
People always ask me who my favorite photographer is and to be honest I never really had one. Sure there are people who inspire me but no one that truly blew my mind except for maybe Giuliano Bekor but mostly it’s about who he is photographing and the set-ups. Facebook recommended a friend to me yesterday. Surprisingly I had never heard of this “friend.” But since we had 10 friends in common I thought I would check it out. Wow. That’s all I can really say. Now, his work might not be for everyone but for me it’s the best. The use of light, color and texture, the posing of the subjects, the creativity over a wide range of subjects and background is just outstanding. What kills me most is that he has only been shooting for 4 years. He has accomplished in 4 years what takes most people a life time. He is one of those rare individuals that transcends our industry into a class all his own.
New Website!
I have been planning to launch a commercial website for a few years now but due to the amount of work involved I have put it off. Enter Big Folio! I can’t even tell you how impressed I am with them. I have been with LiveBooks for close to 5 years now and couldn’t have imagined there could be anything better. Well there is! I had a Big Folio site up and running in a matter of hours. It is amazing how much easier their Admin is than LiveBooks. The BF admin is wicked fast and it’s all drag and drop. Customer service is 5 star!!! I know this sounds like an advertisement for Big Folio but it’s not. I just love to share products that make a difference for Photographers. Whether you want custom or a template site they have it and will get you up and running quick. Thanks again to the BF team! Get your own Big Folio site here…

Wedding + Portrait site is still in the same place…
Spider Holster
I have been playing around with a new camera holster, called the Spider Holster and love it so much I wanted to share. I have thought about this idea for years using a traditional tripod plate. Glad I didn’t go down that road since I can see how many problems I would have had that Spider holster had to overcome. Check out the video below to see it in action. The two main draw backs that it has are easily fixable and one is already in the works. It is a bit heavy but I suspect the next iteration will have a lot more machining and probably use a lighter weight aluminum like 6061 or some other product from Alcoa. The other issue is that it doesn’t attach to my Think Tank belt but they are releasing a fix for that shortly.
I use the Luma Loop on side which attaches to my 70-200mm and then a wide angle lens on the holster. The clip can be used with my normal belt or the supplied belt from Spider. My ability to be ready for a shot is much faster. It can mean the difference between a good shot and a great shot!
