Lets face it... Some weddings are more fun the others. I guess you have to define how you measure fun but I gotta say it involves great music and lots of dancing. This wedding.... OVER THE TOP. I dare you to have as much fun as these folks did! (Good thing I brought along my super sweet dance floor lighting rig) Please hire a good band at your wedding! Dont you want to see mom and dad breaking it down, g-mom doing the twist??? You get what I am sayin....

First Friday at LMC

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:29:34 PDT

This Friday Lyndsay McCandless Contemporary is hosting her monthly First Friday party. This is a big night as the JH Photo Booth will be making its first public appearance! I am so excited about this machine and cant wait to share more info. Its basically a photo booth without the booth making it completely adaptable to almost any location you can think of. AND IT PRINTS PHOTOS RIGHT ON THE SPOT!! I have to get some good images of it so you can really see what its all about. Stay tuned for that.....

LM and I took these today to get the word out...

Photo Booth Fun

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:04:12 PDT

A fun new addition to our services is a Photo Booth. Pick your own fabric background or we'll find one that matches your colors and style. We'll bring the chalkboards and you bring the fun. Other props are encouraged as well. This is great fun for a rehearsal dinner party or your reception.

Holga Portrait Fun

A very dashing bridal party I must say..... Thought shooting it with a Holga might be a bit of fun

Great video from Cypress Albums!

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:22:06 PDT

I was surfing around the web and came across this.... a great follow up to the previous post!

The Iris Album by Cypress Albums

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:41:22 PDT

I just received an album order for one of my clients today and I had to share it! Cypress Albums makes the finest albums available in my opinion. They are all handmade and extremely elegant. The Iris Book is such an amazing product because it can be totally customized to your liking. This particular order is made up of one 10x10" master album and three 8x8" duplicate albums in Navy Blue and Ice Blue fabrics. (By ordering duplicate books ahead of time you can save a great deal on cost.) Note the details here: Custom made presentation box, elegant fabrics finished with ribbon, foil stamping.... I absolutely love these books! Now off to FedEx to get these in the hands of their owners.....

Family in 4x5

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:35:39 PDT

I just wish the quality of this image would resonate here online but..... Film is still the champion when it comes to quality. As much as its about the physical quality of the material I think its also the experience of photographing with the large format camera. It introduces a different relationship between the subject and the photographer. Its certainly a lot more fun than an SLR... at least for me.... I hope these folks agree...

Great anecdotes from Milton Glaser

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:32:55 PDT

Just found this at aphotoeditor.com: 10 things I have learned by Milton Glaser.

The very first one really hits home. It sums up why I like my job so much. I have been very fortunate to work with so many wonderful people. Each time I am able to connect with a client, I mean really connect (not via email, facebook, etc...) it leads to much more than my taking their picture. It is an exchange between us. I am giving them my full attention and compassion and they return to me their trust. It is an incredible experience and I cherish each opportunity. And when this happens, great images are made. (see previous post, Erin and Jared) I am working with some great people this summer and I am excited for the possibilities!

Here is the anecdote I am referring to:

YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE.
This is a curious rule and it took me a long time to learn because in fact at the beginning of my practice I felt the opposite. Professionalism required that you didn’t particularly like the people that you worked for or at least maintained an arms length relationship to them, which meant that I never had lunch with a client or saw them socially. Then some years ago I realised that the opposite was true. I discovered that all the work I had done that was meaningful and significant came out of an affectionate relationship with a client. And I am not talking about professionalism; I am talking about affection. I am talking about a client and you sharing some common ground. That in fact your view of life is someway congruent with the client, otherwise it is a bitter and hopeless struggle.

The one shot wonders

taylor@trgphoto.com (TRG) — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:24:44 PDT

I have been putting off the purchase of a point and shoot camera for the longest time and there is no particular good reason other than I wanted an amazing camera with the quality of my digital slr and the compactness of a spy camera. Apparently too much to ask for. So instead of purchasing that shiny new G10 with all the bells and whistles, I went old school and picked up a 35mm film camera. The whole purpose of this camera in my mind is to freely respond to moments and just make photographs. For the past few months I have been shooting pretty exclusively with my 4x5 field camera which is so deliberate and slow. Great process but not a tool for reaction. So now I have this great little machine that can go anywhere and take really high quality photos. Here are a few from my test roll last week.....
