WPPI – Vegas

March 6, 2010

Hey folks.

This post comes to you from Portland airport, where I’m waiting for my flight to Las Vegas for the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International conference! I’m going mainly to see some friends, shake the right hands and meet the right people to support my workshops for the future and help promote Pindora. It’s also going to be fascinating finding out how my prints did at the competition – I entered 3 in the portrait division.

I’ll also be help out my friend Andy Armstrong on his Design House stand – I use Design House all the time, and love it – it plays really well with Pindora. If you are in Vegas – come see us at the Design House stand!

Ok – so it’s taken me some time to start to work these! Officially, I’m still on vacation, but I had an hour free so I worked an image of one of our models, Kim, who was awesome!

Canadian beds triple boing…

January 26, 2010

As you can see – still hard at work here in the great frozen North!! We are now in Toronto for a few days relaxing before heading off for Humboldt…where it’s -17 degrees right now! I have a pretty bad sinus infection going on and am totally deaf in one ear and now can’t speak either!! But we are having fun, and the first workshops were a blast. Thanks to all who came!

More shots and videos from the road later…

Here is James Hodgins, Andy Armstrong and myself mid-flight…and yes, my bed did take a pounding from this!

I’m sitting in Tina Weltz’s fantastic Elmira, Ontario studio watching my partner in crime, Andy Armstrong, work his day of the workshop. I’m up tomorrow!!

It’s been a while since I posted a cool pin-up, so here’s one of the lovely Mandy Apple, shot last week while we recorded a video…more of that later!

Sandy Puc’ and Jerry Ghionis 2011 tour images

January 11, 2010

Ok – so the cat is now out of the bag and Sandy has announced that she will be touring with the amazing Jerry Ghionis in 2011…and I was lucky enough to produce the tour artwork for them recently! While the tour isn’t for another year, they wanted to announce it early so we shot these images a couple of weeks after we wrapped the 2010 tour images. Enjoy!
