This blog has reached the end of it's life.
It's served both you and I (hopefully) very well over the years.

No bad feelings right?

Here is the latest post on my new photoblog

Become a tumblr user

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:34:00 +0000

If you haven't already, I suggest you join the tumblr website. They provide a great and easy to use service that I've been enjoying for a few years now.

Because I'm migrating my blog to their services, I'd really like to be able to bring you with me.
Joining tumblr is VERY simple, just go here and fill out the three field form: https://www.tumblr.com/

Being a tumblr user will be the easiest way for you to continue following my work.
Together we have generated over 30,000 page-views, here's to 30,000 more!

Please join me at http://exposed.alexdifiori.com/
It'd be nice if I knew I wasn't talking to myself all the time!

The posts on this blog won't be going anywhere anytime soon, BTW. Eventually, I'll be changing the URL to something else to free it up for Exposed, but that's a long way down the road.

I'm officially migrating to tumblr.
If that sucks for you, I'm sorry. Tumblr is the easiest way for me to connect with my audience.
But that's not what this post is about.
Below is a photo and a link. If you like the photo, I suggest you hit the link as there's more photos there waiting for you.
Enjoy!

Possible Move to Tumblr

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:08:00 +0000

I'm currently considering moving this blog to tumblr. One issue, however, is that tumblr currently doesn't support importing of blogger content directly. Therefore, any move will be kind of like a fresh start. All the posts on this blog will remain here for an indefinite period of time. Any new posts will (eventually) ONLY appear on the tumblr blog.

The reason for the shift is that as you might have noticed, it's very rare that I write more than a few sentences when I post. Tumblr is much more compact and presentation-oriented, which seems to better suit my style. Any actual move will of course be proceeded by a detailed post concerning how to continue following my blog if/when it moves.

My ultimate goal is to provide the best possible experience for my followers while still meeting my needs.

If you have any suggestions for this sort of thing, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for following me all these years. Here's to improvement!

Jen + Jon

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:00:00 +0000

Earlier this month, I booked a trip to Boston at the last minute to shoot my first wedding video. The Bride (Jen) and Groom (Jon) were two very cool people and I had a blast at their vintage-inspired wedding. Below is the video I've been editing together for the past two weeks, as well as a link to the Fuller Craft Art Museum, which is the amazing location the wedding was held at. Also, mad props to Kristin Chalmers for not only booking me, but putting me up at her crib with her two awesome kids and her husband Rob (who knows how to cook some mean pancakes).

This week's choice was especially tough for me because of this photo:

From a shoot with moko, it's one I'm kind of proud of.
But I chose I "Ivy" because it has less to do with my ability to control a situation (as in a portrait) than it does with my ability to use what's available to me at the moment of exposure.

HOWTO: editing/websites

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:34:00 +0000

I've started working on a digital workflow How To series and these are the first two of (hopefully) many to come.

If you follow me on vimeo, you might have already seen this before.
My goal is to post a new one every Thursday.

Enjoy:

Dim the lights: Press the "L" key

Hide Palettes: Hold "Shift" press "Tab"

In this tutorial I will show you how to create basic photography website using Lightroom's web module.

Where's the POD?

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:15:00 +0000

If you're looking for my ongoing Photo of the Day project, look no further.

Every photo will now be posted directly to this blog: http://pod.alexdifiori.com/
For automatic updates, follow me on twitter or like my page on facebook.

This is in addition to all the other places the POD project has been popping up, of course.

DC (Dirt Cheap) EQ: Alienbee Cases

noreply@blogger.com (Alex DiFiori) — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:18:00 +0000

I was looking into buying a pelican case for my lighting equipment (includes 4 alienbees), which would have run me about $300.

After doing some research, I found these at my local art store.

So I bought two.
Not only are they sturdy, they're cheap and give me plenty of space for cords, grids, etc.
