Cool Art Show in Brooklyn

My friend Greg Haberny is an amazing artist who exhibits worldwide. He sets up these incredibly intricate art installations that leave the viewer with a different perspective on life. He is such a productive artist that it's rare to not see him with pen and paper in hand. His hard work has paid off, and he has established himself among avid contemporary art collectors and galleries. If you are in the area, check out his show opening this Friday in Brooklyn.

The "Neon Graveyard"

The "Neon Graveyard" is actually two lots of retired neon signs. It takes up a bit more than four acres. We could have stayed here for an entire day, there was just much to see. Unfortunately we didn't have time for that and ended up having to leave just as the sun was getting to that sweet spot. I'll have to go back someday. It's a fun place that really is a museum. It felt like a step back in time.

Site is Updated

Well, it only took about an hour to tweak my site. It's up and running with a bit of a new look. Drop me a comment to let me know what you think. I added a gallery of the Vegas wedding I just shot. It's got details from the Bellagio to the Red Rock Canyon. Soon I'm going to add a "Trash the Dress" gallery, as these are so fun to shoot. BTW, I've never really trashed a dress, so they really should be called "Day After Shoots".

Web Site Update

My main site is going under a bit of a face lift today. So, if you log on and things look screwy, please be sure to check back in a couple of hours. Shouldn't take long and I am excited to post some new images. Thanks for being patient while we update.

Destination-Vegas!

Shooting a destination wedding in Vegas was a dream come true for me. Samantha and Nathan are such a great, fun loving couple. Since they are also wedding photographers, they totally understand the value of freeing themselves in order to get fantastic imagery. As photographers they know that it's not always easy to be "the subject", but if you can get past that, and free yourself to live the fantasy, the results are usually spectacular. My motto is, "If you can envision it, you can live it". I try to utilize this rule in every area of my life, especially when I'm faced with a challenge. I would encourage all couples to really think through what they want from their wedding photographs. If all you need are straight forward group shots of your bridal party, then you have to know that your "Uncle Bob" can and will get those shots. If however, you are a willing party to some creative thinking, and able to give your photographer just a bit more time (or a day after shoot), your wedding collection will truly be an art piece. After all, it's your wedding day. You've never looked better, or had such a gorgeous location to have a party with all your loved ones present. So my suggestion? Go for it people! If you can envision it, you can live it! Samantha and Nathan did!
