Picture Day!

And you thought that was only for kids at school....



Does your company use a picture of you or your employees in it's newsletter, proposals, or other internal or web communications? If so, are you putting your best face forward? Remember, it's that first impression that the reader gets when they see your picture that will help shape their opinion of the material they are reading.

No matter who you are or what your profession is, having a quality image of yourself available can be very important. When you get the call for a last minute picture to go with that press release or newspaper article or proposal, you want it to show you in the best possible light, not some snapshot from the last company picnic. Same goes for those images on advertising and business cards. It's the first thing a potential client may see. Isn't it worth the small extra cost to have it match the quality of the product or service you are selling?

Ok, time for a bit of catching up...

Sorry for the month long lapse. Since I last updated I have been busy with a trip to Montana and another trip to New Orleans and Biloxi. As some of you know, one of the things I love about photography is that it is constantly changing and evolving. There are always new techniques to try and old ones to refine. With that in mind I recently attended a great workshop given by Mike Fulton of Tri Coast Photography. Mike is an incredible photographer and an excellent instructor. With Mike behind the podium we learned some new tricks about an old friend, flash photography. Using flash with with your camera can sometime be a bit of a challenge, no matter who you are. Well, Mike and his partner Cody are two of the best in the business when it comes to using flash so who better to learn from? And learn we did. As a matter of fact, we had a blast!

Here's a few shots from the workshop. I hope you enjoy them, I sure had fun making them.

Still more racing!

Another beautiful Sunday afternoon and I had a chance to get back out and catch up with Jaime, who runs the Pro Speed RC Raceway, and a bunch of RC racers. The were having their Onroad Mayhem II event and despite the heat, they had a great turnout and there was some great racing.



You really should swing by one day when they are running to see these cars in action. These aren't your average RC car. Many are powered by engines capable of over 20,000 rpm's running on a nitromethane fuel mixture that pushes these cars to incredible speeds. To the bystander it may look easy, but it's not, it can take years to learn to run some of these cars at the competitive level. These guys are serious about their sport. Getting their car set up for track conditions is like watching a miniaturized version of a NASCAR garage. Micrometers, scales, tachometers, tire truing devices are just part of the rolling garages these guys bring with them.

Anyway, thanks again guys, it was great meeting you all and we'll see you soon!
