a few out-takes from the san diego mag shoot.

tips for shooting from a helicopter:
1. don't eat a big lunch
2. minimize composing images though the viewfinder
3. have a shot list and plan of attack for a flight path
4. dress warm
5. buckle in
6. as you climb, have read the altimeter to you can give the pilot altitude direction when your shooting - most of my shots were 100-500 feet, and now i know just about exactly where to be to communicate it

have fun!

if anyone wants to go on a helicopter shoot, we can share the cost;-)

mojopages/landmark and circus time with ZIRK UBU

a quick presentation tip

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:34:45 -0800

Always looking for a way to look professional yet not spend a fortune. I started shipping my images in slim line DVD cases which i have seen online for as little as 19 cents each, when your buy about 100. I then slide in my 5x7 promo cards. As I mentioned before I do a variety of style of promo cards for each type of client. So I just make them on the go as needed. The promo cards where made at WHCC for smaller quantities or for larger, i have them done at Modern Postcard. Quick, easy, cheap, and looks professional, I think!

Hey Everyone!

Did a super fun wedding the other day and shot some portraits at the end of the night... a pretty fun crew...

thanks to my little guy brooks!

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:21:41 -0800

So I feed a lot of my family snapshots into stock and its cool to see one hit a homerun. This one of my son Brooks licensed for $2000 this month which was nice to see. You can never rely on just one image a month to pay off, but when you have 1000s in the market, it has started to really payoff in a consistant level. I am recharged to get out there and start shooting again.

thanks brooks!

Always nice to see your images in the finished piece! The design sent over a PDF from my CHOC shoot like 6 months ago. Its inspired me to add a resolution to my shooting schedule this year....really want to chase those institutions that have money, value great photography and NEED great photography. Schools, universities, health care, hospitals and pharmaceuticals...hear i come! I should writes some of the goals down...right!? Who are you shooting this year?

So I have really wanted to do more fun family sessions but just have not had the time for it, but I did manage to squeeze in some friends and this is Matt and Jessica and their family of 4. Matt is a good friend of mine from Penn State, back in the day.
