Gotta laugh

Brooke Lauer said for me to wake up and blog with pictures, this is no monologue. Gotta laugh. OK! Jeez already!

So I’m behind in my editing and postings, but remember I said I would frequent my blog at least by humpday of any given week, Brooke……but I guess she is going to keep me on my toes! 

After my well rested vacation Natasha was my first shoot back. Every time we have shot, we have encountered rain……so we did what we could do, and think we did really well.  We were at the Governor’s mansion in Columbia. It was really a nice location and now that I know it’s there- will be shooting there more often.

I have been chastized for using photoshop. Because those cynics feel that photography isn’t photography anymore and created therefore in photoshop. I can understand some folks unwilling to bend and change with the ages, and some people dig it and others don’t. I have to stay true to my self and I love the mood that photoshop can give a humdrum image. It happens to be where I feel like a photograph becomes an art piece. It’s where the masterpiece takes shape. It’s always rewarding when I happen to have my clients that hire me because of that look. Most of my clients hire me because they feel the same. I hope that is how it stays. My clients are UBER cool and love the same things I do. That is essential- to hire that photographer that fits. And for us photographers it’s bliss when our clients share the same visions and trust our work.

Natasha and AJ will be getting married in October. AJ is a super nice guy and always seems to shine a smile whenever I see him. I can’t wait until they get married. My job is alot of work,  but sharing the happiest and most fun day of someone’s life with them is a gift that I can’t even begin to share with you how much I love doing.

Well Brooke, I hope this soothes the savage beast. I will post more along the way, and I promise to have something by Humpday……a humpdate I should say, of each week. Sometimes it will be monologue b/c a blog doesn’t have to just be photos but can just be thoughts. My website and flickr site are more for photos and the blog will be a fusion of both. If you don’t already know the flickr site, check it out. Lots of stuffs on it. ( www.flickr.com/photos/tommehilton/ ) 

Ciao for now.
