Best of 2009 Contest

Admittedly, I got this idea from another photographer, but it seemed like it would be a ton of fun. Below is the voting booth to select the best moments from 2009. This was REALLY hard for me to pick one image from each wedding in 2009…REALLY hard! There are a mix of fun, emotional, serious, portraits, and all sorts of image types.

So, each wedding from 2009 has one image and the image that gets the most votes wins. The first place winner gets a 16×20 canvas print from their wedding and a $100 $200 Visa gift card. The second and third place images will each receive a $50 $100 Visa gift card.

Here are the rules and how it works:
- Voting runs from Saturday, January 23 to Friday, February 12
- You can only vote once per computer
- Results are not shown and will be announced Wednesday, February 17

Best of 2009 wedding contest – vote for Bridget and Jeramie Holt

Ahhh film…

I might be part of a dieing breed of photographers that still use film as part of the wedding experience. While the majority of what I shoot is digital, I still shoot a few rolls of black and white film, and sometimes color film, at weddings. You might be thinking…wait can’t you just do that with Photoshop with digital images? Yes, to a certain extent, and if you like sitting in front of the computer for long hours editing images to look like film.

I prefer the method of actually shooting film. The way I am able to make it happen, is with the help of Philadelphia Photographics. One of the last professional labs left in the Philadelphia region. The process the old school way and are amazing. So, instead of spending hours at the computer, I drop my rolls of film off at Philly Photographic and they develop and scan the film, than mail it back to me. Pretty awesome!

Homeless artist…

Most of my friends will tell you I am a bit of a cynic (what GenXer isn’t a bit of a cynic) but I had to share a story from my softer side. Maybe it will motivate you a little…or you may think I am naive and silly. But last night I was helping Heather (one of my assistant photographers) take some old film developing equipment to her house. As we drove along 202 I saw this man riding a bicycle along the road with a large sign on it which I couldn’t see well enough to read.

He looked homeless and the bike was towing a caravan of stuff. I then was able to see that he had another bike a few hundred feet behind him. I quickly realized that he was riding one bike forward a few hundred feet, then walking back to his other bike, and repeating this to move along. After we dropped the equipment off at Heather’s house I drove home and sure enough he was still peddling along. Although he had only moved about a quarter of a mile in about 15 minutes.

This time I was able to read the sign he had on his bike. It read “Homeless artist…” and went on to mention other facts about who he was. There were art pieces hanging from the side of the bike that he was trying to sell. So I decided to run home and grab some supplies for this man and the rolled spare change that has been sitting and collecting for probably a few years.
