March First Friday

First Friday Las Vegas has become a regular show for us. This month was the 5th time we’ve shown there. Since last October, the only month we’ve missed is January. It’s a reliably awesome show, and the people there are great. The more shows we attend the more we appreciate the professionalism of the staff at the event and the creativity of all of the artists.

This month we have posters for sale! We figure that its an easy and cheap way for people who can’t afford more expensive prints to put something bigger than an 11×14 up. We’re pretty excited about them, so make sure you stop by and pick one up. They’re only $15!

First Friday #2!

Our second First Friday! We were inside the actual First Friday event this month, where the crowds are always the thickest. Of course, we didn't plan for the rain that came back sporadically through most of our set up and continued during the early part of the night. Fortunately, the weather turned for the better and people showed up a little later than usual. We actually ended up doing better this month than last month!

PFRE Photo of the Month #2

Check out this view! I knew it was a great shot when I caught it, and I’m glad that the voters at PFRE agreed with me. That makes two wins for me, so maybe I’ll be in the running for Photographer of the Year. We’ll have to keep out fingers crossed!

New Water in Oil Series!

I’ve been thinking about doing a series of oil shooting into water for a while. I finally decided to do the shoot, but to flip it on its head. I filled a glass container with clear mineral oil and squirted streams of colored water into it. I think it turned out great, and the shoot itself was a lot of fun. Checking out of Walgreens with eight 32-ounce bottles of mineral oil will get you some strange looks, especially when the bottles are clearly labeled both “Laxative” and “Personal Lubricant.” Its diverse stuff, I guess. I’ll have the images retouched and up in a gallery soon. I’m going to have to find a way to reorganize these galleries before I run out of space! Anyway, here’s another preview! I’m going to feature some of these at the next First Friday in Vegas, which is coming up this weekend!

Our First First Friday!

This was our first month participating in Las Vega’s First Friday event. We got a good spot and a tent in the parking lot of The Arts Factory on Charleston. We were lucky enough to have our friend and fellow photographer, Mallorie Nasrallah (www.MallorieNasrallah.com) along for the ride with us. Our booth featured both Bree and Mallorie’s work. It was a fantastic experience. I hadn’t expected the event to be even a fraction of the size it was, and the atmosphere was incredible. This is definitely an event we will be doing again in the future!

Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore, MD

We saw the Blue Moon featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives a while back. When we found ourselves in Baltimore we couldn't pass up a chance to try their Cap'n Crunch crusted french toast! The building was incredible cute and the food was everything we had hoped it would be, and more. I took this shot of my plate shortly before we dug in. Yes, that's what our food looked like when it arrived at our table!

PFRE Photographer of the Month!

I won Photography for Real Estate‘s (PFRE) Photographer of the Month for May! The category was ”Master Bedrooms” this month, and I had just shot this fantastic bedroom. There were a lot of other great photos and I feel very honored to have won. Hopefully I’ll have more first place photos in future months!
