Business Phone Number + UPDATE

November 1st, 2007 6:41 pm Business Leave a comment

Most current clients should have already received an email update from me regarding our number change, but just in case you haven’t the old number 206.427.5872 is no longer effective. The new number is 206.774.0201. Our website will be edited to reflect this change in the near future. If you need to contact us the best method would be by email at this stage.

Gary Fong Whaletail

Gary Fong, inventer of the Lightsphere for camera flash diffusion just released his new invention called the Gary Fong Whaletail. You can read about it and watch a little video on Gary Fong’s blog. He’s joking around that it looks like a toilet bowl aka Fong John. I didn’t use the Lightsphere much, but I know plenty of wedding photographers who do. Gary Fong is a master of marketing. I could learn a few things from him. He owns a home in Seattle, Cali and BC…

Children’s Portraits

We photographed Sharon, Nathan and Aiden at Pine Lake Park in Sammamish, WA. Sharon is sister’s with Angela, whose wedding we had the honor of being a part of. Sharon wanted to have some pictures of Aiden before his baby teeth fell out. The boys are so full of personality and energy. Aren’t the boys just adorable? They were really fun to work with and you can see how happy the boys are with their mom! Too bad daddy had to work that day. You can access the rest of their pictures by clicking here (password protected).

Check out http://getbrushes.com/ Can you believe the picture above was done with the stroke of some brushes I downloaded from getbrushes.com

It is so fun to play with. If you use Photoshop you really should check it out. Best of all, it’s free for personal use.

Apple IPhone & Smartphones

February 27th, 2007 7:19 am Business, Shopping Related, Todds Toys 3 comments

Somehow, I’ve gotten myself all excited about the new Apple IPHONE. I’ve always enjoyed Smartphones. My original, purchased in early 2001, was the Kyocera QCP 6035 through Verizon. The phone alone cost $500 when it first came out, but I enjoyed that big brick. When I came back to the US from overseas a few years ago, I purchased the tiny little Audiovox SMT5600 through Cingular. I haven’t been that happy with Cingular, but the phone has been decent. I’ve thrown it a few times (protected in its sleeve of course) and it keeps on working! One time, I threw it about 30 yards on hard concrete at Home Depot and I thought the phone was going to be dead, but lucky me it was still working. My biggest complaint with the Audiovox would be the screen is way too small. Amazingly, it plays all my media files through the Windows Mobile OS. The IPhone promises to be revolutionary in many ways and I can’t wait to get my hands on one. Of course, I will tell my wife it will be used for our wedding business =)

Differences in Post Processing

My main camera of choice is the Canon 5D. It’s a 12 megapixel full frame camera. It’s a beauty to work with and I love it. My wife usually shoots with the Canon 30D. She gets better reach with that camera because of the crop factor and she always gets some amazing candid pictures! Anyway, I’ll talk about cameras later. I wanted to talk about how software makes a big difference. I’ve always shot RAW + JPG format. It can be time consuming to convert every single RAW image into JPG so I usually only convert my favorites. It might be hard to see the differences in output from these small images, but RAW images converted to JPG offer many advantages. I’ve always converted using Silkypix, but lately I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom and I like it a lot.
