Friends of Lloyd

I'm with Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything, 1989) when he said, "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.  I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought or processed.  You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."  

Call me an idealist.  It's true.  I'm not slick or tricky or pushy.  I don't want to sell anyone on anything.  It's not in my nature.  If you don't already know you want it, I don't want to convince you that you do.  I prefer to make myself available to those who already know that they want my services, and that what I have to offer is as valuable to them as it is to me.  It's a slower process, but more integral to who I am.  I can't see running my business any other way.  So, yes!  I want to you to buy my services and my images; I want to make a living doing what I love.  I just don't want to have to sell you on it.

Christmas Comes a Little Late...or a Lot Early!

I had a fun day at the park with this family just before Christmas.  The kids are so energetic and fun that a boring, run-of-the-mill slideshow just didn't seem to fit.  I just completed their family album & wanted to make a slide production to go with it.  This turned out perfectly!

Hey, Teach!

I was invited to teach a class on digital photography at Granite Bay Montessori for the upper elementary kids this summer.   I feel totally honored and excited about this.  I'm already thinking about making models that explain how ISO, aperture and shutter speed all affect light.   

I get to be a geek again!  I'm stoked!
