Dave works at one of the local companies providing software and networking to a world-wide market. A publication in Chicago is writing an article about him. They need an accompanying photo. I don’t know what image they’ll use, but these are some I think have potential. As it turns out, Dave and I are from the same area in Idaho. Not the same town, but the same area. In fact, we knew some of the same people. It’s always great to meet someone from back home.

I think Johanna looks like Laura Linney. She was such a great sport and jumped off those bleachers several times without complaining. Nurse Johanna, thanks. This was a great way to spend the noon hour.

Once I had dinner with a friend of mine. She made one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. So satisfying. The next day she gave me a ride to the airport and while she drove, I snapped a few pictures of her. She saw the camera and said, “Wow. I bet that takes really good pictures.” I almost said yes, but thought about it for a few seconds, and told her that I was so grateful for the food she made last night. I told her it was so good, and said, “You must have some really good pans”. She laughed a little (thank goodness) and I think she got the point. Just because you’ve got a nice skillet doesn’t mean you’re a chef. Just because you have a piano, that doesn’t mean you’re a musician. And yet, for some reason, lots of people think that if you’ve got a good camera, you are a good photographer.
Earlier this week, I met with a wedding coordinator. He said he is seeing that more and more people are not hiring professional photographers to shoot their wedding because they have a friend or an uncle with a nice digital camera. Luckily, that trend is only seen at the bottom end of the market.
The truth is, great photography is not made in the camera, but rather, like any art form, in the heart and in the head.
The truth is, great photography will always be expensive.
The truth is, great photography will always always be in demand.

I’m part of of a photography group called Salt Lake Seven and in October 2007 we had a gallery exhibit at the Art Access Gallery in Salt Lake. Last night we held our regular monthly meeting and talked about our next exhibit and how to proceed. We tossed out a few ideas and over the next month, we’ll nail it down further.
Here are some photos from last night’s meeting. And by the way, I was sitting right across from Bill, so there ended up being a disproportionate amount of pictures of him.

We are giving away either a free Bridal Portrait Session, or a free Engagement Portrait Session. The winner will get to select which one. How do you win? All you need to do is write a teeny 200 word essay telling us why we should shoot you for free. The kicker? It’s got to make us laugh. The funniest response will win. If you’re interested in entering, click on this link and fill out the info. And if you aren’t interested, forward the link to someone that you think might care.
We are doing an experiment. This link and announcement will be posted on a few other blogs from various different friends. We are trying to see how word travels via their blogs.
We can’t wait to see what we get.

Photo District News (PDN) is an award-winning monthly magazine for the professional, commercial and advertising photographer. Each year they devote one issue to wedding photography and hold a contest called Top Knots and publish the winning entries. I sent three images to them. They accepted one of them. The issue will be published in April. How cool is that? I’m going to be in Photo District News with this image!
