I’m trying to make an effort to write more posts about some of my equipment, ’cause I know that other photographers out there in the market for new stuff would like to hear feedback about this stuff from real people they know, and not some crummy product review on adorama.com. I’m also going to try and make a spot on the site that details the current equipment I use in the field.
Before I go off about how much I like this piece of glass… it’s important to note that for all of you photographers in the beginning or even middle stages of your learning don’t get too consumed with buying super expensive gear and thinking it’ll make your photos magically turn to gold. A sharp lens and a poorly executed photo composition is still a poor photo, no matter how heavy and expensive your setup may be. Invest in some knowledge and gain solid skills in the field before you blow your savings on equipment that won’t help your game too drastically in the beginning. I’ve taken many awesome photos in my years, and some of my top favorites of all time were taken with a $900 body/lens Canon Rebel setup.

My little helpers, Coal and Tobi, are the rascals pictured above. Lisa bought these ridiculous outfits for the cats which made for some good photo ops. I don’t know what is funnier, the way they look in them, or the reaction they have, trying to squirm out of them the instant they find themselves looking like Rudolph. Coal really cracks me up, he truly looks like the Grinch here, always has that contemplative look like he’s stormin’ up something evil in his noggin’.

I’ve been working over the past few weeks getting the workshop curriculums squared away. The advanced workshop, among the set of workshops, will teach you lighting techniques like the one used to create the picture above.
Upon completion the “workshops” page will almost be it’s own little site, filled with all the information about the workshops, along with a general FAQs section. These are gonna be a ton of fun! Just wanted to keep you readers posted. Check back soon for gobs more info on this!
