WPPI Print Competition.

I just received an e mail from Wedding and Portrait Photographers International . It was about the photographs that I entered in their 8x10 print competition. See them at www.wppionline.com I entered 14 photographs just to see how they might do. Keep in mind that I have NEVER entered photo competions in my 26 years as a photographer. I did shoot some weddings for another photographer about 19 years ago and he entered them in the Professional Photographers of America competitions and won awards for his studio, but I never got the credit. So I was a little turned off by the whole "Competition" process. But anyway, Scott Holloway , another photographer in Atlanta that I know well is a member of WPPI also and goes to their Convention in Las Vegas every year. Thousands of photographers from all over the world attend. This coming April it will take up all of Bally's and Paris casinos and Convention Centers. BIG convention.
The reason I am telling you all of this is so you will know just how big this e mail was that I got from WPPI. So here it is.

I won 1st place and 2nd place plus got 5 Accolades of Excellence awards.

I called WPPI in Santa Monica, Calafornia just to make sure I was reading this e mail right . The person in charge of the competition said the judges were stumped as to just how I made the 1st place photo. You can find out how when my first instructional DVD "The WOW Factor" comes out in January. Plus we will cover it in my Seminar Tour.

I have posted the 1st and 2nd place photos. 1st palce is "After the Storm" 2nd place is "Little Storms Brewing"

First Post from Times Sq

So, I am starting this BLOGG thing because everyone keeps asking me where I am and what I am doing.
This is my first post so cut me some slack if it is a little lame.
Right now I am in New York City to meet with the VP for the company that supplies my custom wedding albums. For those of you who don't know, I am a Wedding Photographer / Photograph Restorer. It sounds like a boring tedious occupation but it is not. I get to travel all over the United States and sometimes outside of the US . My web site lists that I will photograph any where in the world except for France. I think I will add Afghanistan and Iraq to the list.
Anyway, I am here in New York to drum up sponsors for my up coming seminar tour called "The WOW Factor" These seminars will be for beginning and intermediate wedding and portrait photographers. I will be selling my Wow Factor DVD as well as a few others I have put together to help new photographers.
I may look a little tired and I am. Today is Wednesday Oct 19th 2005. In the last 5 days I have photographed 2 huge weddings on Saturday and Sunday. Flew to Miami on Monday for the Rolling Stones show. Home yesterday afternoon just in time to make it to my son Garen's last baseball game of the fall season. He hit a long beautiful home run in the 2nd inning 20 feet over the center field fence. 330 feet to the fence. It was a BOMB !!! Home from the game at 11pm and then up at 5 am this morning to get the kids to school and then to the airport and fly to New York. The photo above was taken just a little while ago as it was getting dark in Times Sq. Tonight is dinner and a show at this jazz club called Bird Land with Paul from Kambara the album company.
