January 6, 2009I’m in the middle of archiving last year’s work and prepping a new blog for Times Two Studios and going through my brides from this year I thought I’d put them all together in one post! I’m looking forward to capturing many beautiful brides this year too.

Pin-Up workshop!
December 31, 2008In March, I’ll be hosting the first Portland Pin-Ups photography workshop. Open to professional photographers only, I’ll be going through my entire pin-up process including shooting a live model and post-processing too. The workshop is two full days, one with me, the other with awesome photographer and great friend of mine, Andy Armstrong. This workshop is not open to Portland area photographers – sorry guys, but I have to keep some secrets close for those in direct competition!!

Historic Night….
November 5, 2008As you may have read – I’m in Nashville tonight for a photography convention, and damn good fun it’s been. It’s also been an amazing night being here in the US during the most historic election in recent history. I don’t “do” politics – I live in the USA, I pay my taxes, but they won’t let me vote for another 2 years or so…so to avoid any tension I generally stay away from political debates…however….GO OBAMA!!!I honestly feel that Obama is going to push America forward in a great new direction…something that has been lacking for the last 8 years. Of course, everyone in England thought that Tony Blair would do that for the UK, and look how that turned out eh? Still, this guy LOOKS like President, SOUNDS like a President, and can pronounce nuclear…it’s got to be a step up. The excitement here in America is spine tingling, and I’m so happy to have been here and seen it happen. Best of luck to the new President. As a side note – it’s worth pointing out that after a very nasty campaign, John McCain’s concession speech was honest, heartfelt, and showed true honor. Mike.
Blogging from the road!
November 4, 2008No images today – maybe a few at the end of the week. I’m writing from a photography convention in Nashville, TN! I’m sitting in a room with over 100 awesome photographers from all over the States and many from Canada too. Tonight I’ll be taking part in a Shoot-Out of photographers and retouchers…keep your fingers crossed for me!Conventions like this are a great way to keep up with all the latest trends in photography, but also to mix with and swap ideas with some truly talented artists. I know most of these guys from an online forum, and it’s been great to put faces to names.My next stop is Miami for some sun, relaxing and of course shooting some of the amazing architecture down there!In other news – stay tuned for a huge announcement about next years weddings…more soon!

Hacked…(off)…
July 16, 2008In the early hours of this morning my site was hacked. A small malicious file was placed in every single folder that directed people away from my site and onto a virus site.
Thanks.
It’s taken pretty much all day to identify what happened and try to deal with it. At the moment, all links are broken, although the main page is back up.
I’ll fix it as soon as I can! I may update my blog software while I’m at it and that might break the whole thing…stay tuned!
A very hacked off Mike.
