Yeah, the iphone software update "multitasks". If by "multitasks" you mean "runs painfully slow and drops calls a lot". 2010/07/21

Thank you, Joe Barton. Your apology to BP, intercut with shots of dead wildlife, will be worth more in Nov than a $20B donation to the DNC. 2010/06/17

Magic Color Monday

July 12th, 2010 by Janet

POTD: from Angie and Jorge’s wedding last week. The wedding was at Sacred Heart, and as the flower girls stepped into the sanctuary, I was struck by the colors. The flags hung for 4th of July weekend in the church created a great sense of time and place. So when I processed this image I decided to hyper-saturate the colors… if there is any holiday that screams bold color, it’s the fourth of July… from spectacular fireworks to the red, white, and blue of the flags … combined with the light streaming through stained glass windows, the bold green of the flower halos and purple sashes on the flower girls. It also gives me a great sense of what a little girl might feel walking in to a big, beautiful church as everyone looks on.

This image is a lot of what I try to do as a photographer. I want these images to convey a true sense of the experience of this moment. But in our memories, we tend to idealize these times as we file them away in our memories… in a good memory, the colors are a little bolder, the sun a little brighter, the tastes a little sweeter, the fireworks even more spectacular.

Can I go eat yet?

April 27th, 2010 by Janet

I love it when I’m processing a print order and I find an image that surprises me. Today, I was completing an order from Allison and Matt’s wedding last summer, and one of the 8×10s they ordered was of this image of the bride’s brother. These images always amuse me when we take them, process them, and give them as proofs, but it gives me a special thrill when someone likes them enough to order them. There is so much in this image we can all relate to. If only I were posting this on a MONDAY morning…

OOTD

April 5th, 2010 by Janet

Outtake of the Day: E.J. took this image at Jennifer and Brad’s wedding a week ago. This is another case of loving the outtakes at least as much as the “real” photos. I love this one because this moment happens at every wedding… the bustling and veil removal before the first dance. But what makes this image for me is Brad in the background, contemplating the new ring on his finger.
