Playing with Photoshop

I love photoshop, it can take an average picture and give it character and life. I don't as a matter of course use a lot of photoshoping in my work, but every now and again I find a picture I think can use the help (besides it's fun). This picture is one of my favorites, I just decided to see what it would look like in B&W. I absolutely love the burn tool, I burned out the back ground and blah blah blah... see for yourself.

Enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think.

Saturday night's alright alright alright

It's a chilly Saturday here in sunny Sarasota and I'm going through old weddings I've photographed, I stumbled across Scott and Keri's wedding pictures and thought I'd share them with you for the simple fact that there wedding was one of my favorites.

Enjoy...

Holga

I'm a big fan of lomo photography, using cameras I find at garage sales or the goodwill but I especially love my Holga, for those of you who don't know the Holga is a crappy plastic camera with major flaws. The most obvious of these flaws are major light leaks but it also sprinkles in overlapping frames and major vignetting. Here are some pictures it took in Scotland last year.

For more information on Holga check out these links below, just copy and past them into your web browser enjoy...

Mexico

I was recently in Mexico with the family and wow what a wonderful place, the people we're great the food was fantastic and we all had the best time. Below are pictures of a great restaurant named La Perlita were we had a great lunch (they served the best seafood I've ever had), and just below that are picture of Senor Sanchos beach were we spent a great day right next to the water. All and all it was a great family vacation, you should definitely check it out.

First

Here it is the long awaited 1st blog post you've all been waiting for, who am I you ask? 

Keep up with the blog and you'll find out (oh very mysterious) I know it couldn't be helped.

I thought I'd start with something easy... a quick photo I took today while photographing a hotel, I thought it was a cool shot... but feel free to disagree or not (please not I have a lonely fragile feeling).

Best to all,

Steve
