The whole point of taking a photos is to show “somebody” the pictures

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:43 pm by Administrator

and those “somebodies” will actually be different sets of people at different times in your life. So what’s the best way to display? 

Well… that depends. For weddings, the “somebody” normally means your peers and maybe your parents today; some fashion shots and a few formals for Mom & Dad might just be plenty. 

In 20 years tough, that “somebody” will be you and your children. When you show your children your wedding photos (or your grandparent’s 50th anniversary) you are showing them more than a great looking couple at a big party; your passing on your dreams, your family history and your traditions. When you look back in 20 years each detail will bring back it’s own memory and it’s own emotion. 

More photos, mean more details, which means more memories; its that simple and that important.  A collection of images in “Story Book” form works nicely for this purpose. 

Good portraits are almost never unplanned. A wall portrait is typically designed to capture the essence of one subject, emotion or time. Portraits can illustrate a subject’s style, manner, growth or interest. Portraits can hint at a story by leaving you with a question. Portraits are also always visible.

 My point here is to get you thinking.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:00 am by Administrator

Thank you Mark for sharing your talent at such a critical time in my sister’s life!! As a fellow photographer I was devastated that I could not be there to photograph her infant son who had just passed away! I wanted her to have some memories of him, but based on our great distance between us, was unable to travel there to photograph him before his funeral. It was such a huge relief when I found your name in her area on the NILMDTS website. What brought more comfort was calling you first thing in the morning and you answering your phone and immediately responding with compassion for the difficult nature of the situation. I was immensely grateful that you would take time during your Jewish holiday, with only a day’s notice, to accomplish this very sad and difficult task!! It was so great to be in my profession of photography, but to also be on the receiving end of the wonderful NILMDTS program! Thank you for your willingness to serve in this capacity. I know you had just recently signed on with them and I really feel it was inspired to have you join the organization, so that we could benefit from your participation! I know this was a very difficult shoot with high emotion, as I understand from my mom and my sister; you not only handled it with great professionalism, but with compassion and comfort being a father yourself! I was able to take the images and compile some of them along with special quotes, into a book that she can look back at and reflect on the special son that she lost. You have also inspired me to sign up for the non profit organization NILMDTS here in Phoenix. I hope I may also be able to serve and help another family here as you helped my family there. Thank you again, on behalf of my grieving sister and all of our family!

Good morning,

Our experiment in using Pictage for our on-line proofing system is coming to a close on November 7.

We are nearly ready with it’s replacement. Technically it is in place right now. Content is coming.

This change will allow us to maintain better quality.

Thanks,

Mark
