Here is my appearance on CT Style this afternoon!

Honorable Mention

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:22:10 +0000

In the world of photography there’s a guy name Seshu. He has what seems like countless blogs about photography and he probably tweets more than Twitter themselves. He was interviewed by another known name in the photography world, Dane Sanders. During the interview Seshu was asked if there are any photographers that you admire. I know that it’s a long list for Seshu. I’m honored that the one photographer, “that no one knows,” he mentioned was me. It was really unexpected and I truly feel grateful and appreciative. It’s at about 24 minutes in.

Announcing Click4Fusion

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:47:42 +0000

This past year we were loaded with more Fusion weddings than we could have even hoped for. I’m still in the editing process when it comes to my own clients videos! Recently I spoke at the Inspire Boston conference on video editing and the whole process. It reignited a flame I lit almost a year ago. I wanted that flame to be a bonfire. I had big ideas and a grand plan. I also had no time for it. But now with the editing I’ve been doing and the speaking and workshops I’m giving, that little flame started to burn pretty good. After talking to many photographers I realized there may be a need for an editing service. I mean, how many photographers do you know have Emmy Awards for video editing?

So with the big convention coming up in Vegas I figured I had to do something. So instead of sleep, I’ve been working on simplifying and rebuilding the Click4Fusion site I started a year ago. But this time from scratch. I have one more section to finish, otherwise it’s up and running. And oddly enough, even before the current redo, the Click4Fusion website was getting a lot of hits and visitors. It was actually one of the top 3 referrers to my own website!

So here’s to making it better and growing a new seed in this wonderful world of photography.

Inspire Boston

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:31:57 +0000

Wow. I’m still coming down off a conference high. Usually I leave a conference or workshop feeling a little overwhelmed, unsatisfied, or just feeling overdone with it. Not this time. I left Inspire Boston feeling energized. Ready to go and ready to improve what I do. This was such an intimate conference, not just networking with area photographers, but with the speakers themselves. I was one of the speakers and I didn’t want to just speak this time. I wanted to make myself available to all the attendees even if they didn’t attend my class. This was what Inspire Boston was about. Photographers meeting and helping photographers. It was the best conference I’ve ever attended and/or spoke at. I already can’t wait for next year.

The organizers, Matt and Enna Grazier, ask me to do a little fusion video for the wrap party. I didn’t know if I could pull it off! With the help of Tony Yu and James Federico, I did. With the skills I taught in my Fusion course, I opened iMovie and put this together in 3 hours. It was ready for the 6pm wrap party.

Test Your Tonal Color Ability

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:12:56 +0000

My wife keeps saying that I have perfect tonal color ability. I can just see colors and tell if they match perfectly. I’ve even gone as far as purchasing furniture, then buying paint to match by only remembering what the colors looked like when I purchased them (no swatches, no paint samples) and ending up with a perfect match. I recently found out about an online tonal color test so I decided to see just how good I am.

Here’s the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test from x-rite that you can take online.

And my results? A perfect score. I got everyone one right. I guess my wife was right!

Boston PUG Meeting Tonight With RE

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:17:50 +0000

One again, no, this has nothing to do with the adorable little dogs known as Pugs. This is the Pictage User Group. Tonight I’m headed up to the Boston Pug for sort of a round table discussion that I will be a part of. Tonight meeting is about a couple, Beth and Alastair, who went looking for their wedding photographer. They met with (if I remember correctly) 9 photographers! They are going to tell us about the good and the bad of what they saw, and what could have been done by photographers to make their experiences better. This should be a great topic of discussion!
