Hi all. I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. I gave myself a new web site just for my wedding photography. Check it out at www.scottevansweddings.com
I have been staring at it for so long while working on it that I am sure there are some mistakes. If you see any, please let me know.

I will be making some big changes over the next month or so. After Christmas, the retail shop will have limited hours and I will be working from home more. I can't seem to get any work done at the shop. People keep wandering in with their camera bags and asking questions, telling me about a great picture of their kid that they took or asking if I need an apprentice. I hired a new assistant the other day, and my son is now a licenced driver so I should have the "running around" help I needed so badly.
I thought about adding a camera store to the shop. Not one of those point and shoot stores, but a real camera store that has things that pros need. I will be talking that over with some reps at PMA in Las Vegas after the first of the year. It is just a thought, and not one I am thinking to much about at the moment.
Look for a new Scottevans.com site soon with TONS of new images and videos and a new Image Doctor site as well.
That's all for now. I will post some new photos tomorrow.

Will You Marry Me ?

No, I am not looking for someone to marry me, but my shoot today was all about that. The groom to be rented a hot air balloon to lift he and his sweetie high above the North Ga foothills so he could ask for her hand in marriage. He had her family and his fly in from all over the country so that they could spell out "MARRY ME" on the ground with their bodies.
She had no clue what was going on. She did not know that her family was there. I posed as part of the balloon set up and chase crew. I even helped the couple and the balloon pilot inflate the balloon. She thought I was the pilots son in law and was there to take a few photos of the balloon for a new brochure. After take off, I jumped in my truck an drove to the other side of Cheatu Elan so that I could get the sot that you see here. Oh, she said yes.

Last Weekend's Wedding

Then he started shooing about a year ago, and the stuff that is just flowing from his camera is starting to make me believe that he HAS been listening to me all this time.
I shot these photos, his will be on his own BLOG when he creates it.
It is also Halloween on the square today and the kids are everywhere. Melissa is at the font of the shop handing out candy. The photo is right when the kids started down the street, in the last hour we have run out of candy with almost 200 kids coming by.

Never Mix Business and Politics
Oh Well, I loose. No Wait, AMERICA has lost.

For all of the legit photographers out there that are running LEGITIMATE businesses, start giving slight discounts for cash. Anything you put in the bank just might get "Redistributed".

GPPA Print Competition

Well, all 6 of the 16x20 prints I entered earned Merits with 3 being scored in the "Distinguished" print category for scores higher than 80. I know that in High School and 80 is only a "C" average, but in the world of print competition it is very high. The photo of the High School Senior with the saxophone called "Jazz on the Docks" scored an 86. (Scroll down to a blog post from July called "SENIORS") It won first place in the Teen Portraits category, The Distinguished Award, Best of Show for All Portraits and the biggie, The Kodak award for Photographic Excellence. I was floored when I opened the big box that the UPS guy drooped off yesterday. See the photo below of all of the awards.
I really do not like to show off, but this was a really big thing for me and I just had to tell somebody.
Also, to see a video of the wedding album I designed from the wedding I shot in New York 2 weeks ago, click here to be taken to my album video site. http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?bm=79060 When you get to the video site, it is in the Sub category called RECENT WEDDINGS

NYC

The photos are from the album I am working on from this wedding. One from the inside of Christ Church on Park Ave. where the ceremony took place. One is a 2page spread of Times Sq. The photos with the red circles around them are photos of the bride and groom that I inserted in place of the HUGH signs and video screens that are in the Sq. (No the Red Circles are not on the photo for the album, ) And the one with the elevator buttons is the last page spread in the wedding album. The photo of the cab has me looking out the window and the add sign on top has a photo of the bride on it.

Classes, Workshops and New Web Site

I have just finalized the dates for the Wedding School 2 and 3 day Workshops and 1 night classes. I have also re made the http://www.imagedoctor.com/ web site please check it out. There is tons of new stuff and I will be adding a lot more. All info about the classes is there as well as a link to buy tickets. I figured I would announce all this on the blog first, and on Monday I will mass email all those on my mailing list. So, readers of my blog. Please check out the new site and tell me where the mistakes are. I know that some links are not active. I have not converted the files that the links go to to PDFs yet. I hope all is well. I am falling asleep at the keyboard so it is off to bed for me. Please send any feed back to scott@imagedoctor.com Thanks everyone for reading.

Happy 4th of July and Win a Hat

I celebrated as usual. I was working. I opened the shop for some special customers at 10 am and then went home and found friends sitting on my dock having their own 4th of July celebration. I guess they were going to
invite me to the party if I showed up. ( At my own house) Anyway, I hung around a little while and then went back to the shop to open up for our annual "Ice Cream Social" on the town square at 7pm.

There were a lot of people there and several of them found their way into the shop. I met a nice couple that are opening up a photography studio a few miles away and we had a nice chat.
I went back to my house and the party had disappeared, so I sat on my deck and waited for the locals to shoot fireworks off the dam at the lake where I live.
Each year if I am home, when the locals start shooting fireworks, I bring out the Marshal Stack, plug in my Stratocaster and play the Star Spangled Banner in the Jimi Hendrix style. At a very high volume.
As I was warming up, two guys on a pontoon boat that had heard me playing tied up to my dock and walked up to the back deck . They had had a few. Anyway, one of them took the photo in this post of me playing. So, here is the "Win a Hat" part. The first person that e mails me and can tell me why their little point and shoot camera underexposed the photo of me playing my guitar will win an Image Doctor hat like the one I am wearing in the photo. (I have 3 left) You must include a mailing address in your e mail so I can send it to you. Send e mails to imagedoc0@gmail.com I lightened the second version of the photo by just doing a "Levels" adjustment.
While the fireworks were going on, the police showed up and ran everyone off. So I turned the volume up and played it again. Now my house is across the lake from the dam and it takes the police a few minuets to get to me. I am sure someone complained as they always do , so I turned off the lights and waited a few minuets. I know that my buddy Wes who is with the Henry county police was not one of the officers on duty as he would have known exactly which house to go to. Wes is a great photographer who I met when he attended one of my classes.

Nashville, Chicago, St Louis

For the wedding we shot photos all over Chicago. We followed the Bride and Groom as they went from spot to spot in town that they went to on on their first big date. We parked in every no parking zone in the city and I would leave Garen sitting on the back of our car as if it was broken down so that the police would not give us a ticket or tow he car.
See the photos from Chicago below.

Just Dreaming

For all of you that run your own photography business, y'all all know how complicated it is. You spend very little time photographing and tons of time on production, advertising, getting this piece of equipment and that piece of equipment etc. Those of us who run our photography business according to the "Rules" also have to deal with INSURANCE, CITY CODES, LOCAL ORDINANCES, SIGN PERMITS, SALES TAX, CITY TAX, INVENTORY TAX, OCCUPANCY TAX, THE OLD LADIES AT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THE MAIN STREET COMMITTEE, and the DUDE THAT CHECKS THE PARKING METERS AND WRITES OUR CUSTOMERS TICKETS. AND last but not least, some of you (Not Me) have some terrible employees. Some EMPLOYEES are a bigger pain in the ass than the CUSTOMERS.
Now if you have ever met me, and we talked for more than 10 minuets, you know that my DREAM JOB is not what I do right now. Although I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a photographer, sometimes it just gets to be to much. Believe it or not, up until last week, my dream job was to be the guy that picks up the trash at a state park. You get to be outside. Nobody bothers you and you get to carry a sharp stick. If I had found a park that paid 300K yearly for picking up trash I would have been there. But that is now the #2 job on my list.
I found my calling last weekend. All I have to do is loose 150 pounds.
I want to be a Barny Fife Impersonator.
This guy was great! He even had a Mayberry patrol car.

Prom Girls


While I sat there waiting, I watched about ten prom couples and their parents walk up to the center of the park in the middle of the town sq and pose for photos. I had NO PLANS on photographing my friends daughter and her friends at the same place as everyone else from her school. We went to my favorite alley behind my shop just 1/2 block from the sq. In this post are 4 photos from their session.
