Any of you that know me are very aware of my addiction to all things Apple Computer. They are the coolest products out there and I have a problem.. I admit it.. But I have no plans to try and fix it. With that in mind, here are my Top 10 reasons why Apple Computers RULE!!:

#1 cause they work with everything.. No need to load printer drivers!!

#2 cause they don't crash

#3 the iPhone.. Duh!!

#4 the iPod

#5 No viruses.. Haven't had virus protection for 4 years and I don't need it!!

#6 cause the federal govt doesn't use them.. why would anyone want to use a product that a failing system would use anyway?

#7 cause they support the creative community

#8 cause they make my business work more efficiently

#9 cause they inspire

#10 cause they look cool!!!

Some of you that know me are very aware of my passion for one particular activity other than photography and music. That activity grabbed my attention last spring and I've been "hooked" ever since. That activity is bass fishing and it has me going wild every time I drive by any body of water. It's pretty ridiculous.. But I love it. I do think it's important to be well rounded and to have outlets other than your profession to give you satisfaction. Below is an example of mine.. Enjoy!!

As some of you may have heard, I switched all of my online gallery and printing services over to SmugMug a couple of months ago. I had been happy using NextProof & White House Custom Color for the last year, but there were limitations to that combo and I switched based on the recommendation of another photographer in my area. Well, I can't tell you how glad I am that I made the switch. I use SmugMug's Pro service with Bay Photo as my printer and I recently placed a sample order so I could check their print quality with all of their papers. Well the order was printed and shipped within 2 days of my request and I recieved it yesterday. When I opened the package and checked out the prints, I was floored at how accurate they were and how consistent they were throught the different paper types. I've never seen anything so incredible. I'm so pumped to hear feedback from my clients!!

Hey There Friends!!..Been a while hasn't it? Things have been crazy and I'm finding that there needs to be more hours in the day and more days in the week.  My couples ROCK and I really want to get out with them to capture some awesome moments. I also just received another wonderful album from my pals at KISS Wedding Books. These guys never cease to amaze me with their service and the quality of their product. My clients are gonna love this book! I've also started offering PictoBooks as my premium albums. They are amazing custom made albums and they have a ton of options. I will be ordering one very soon for Amy & Wayne (my couple from July). I will be sure to post some pictures of the album once I recieve it.  Also, if you Twitter, follow me by clicking here. I try to post little tid bits throughout the day. Who knows, you might catch something that makes you giggle!

In my personal life, things have been crazy and lots of fun. For those of you that don't know, I've been a musician(drummer) for a longer time that I care to admit (I don't want to give away how old I am!!;-) and I've started playing to large crowds again at McLean Bible Church. The folks that I play with are awesome and I get to wear my Chuck's and graphics tee's to church every Sunday. Really Cool!! My kids are begging me to let them sit in "grown up church" so they can see Daddy get his groove on!! Also, I've moved myself and my company to Haymarket, Virginia (near Manassas) and I should be here for a while. Anyhow, that's all for now. Stay tuned for pics of the new KISS Wedding Book that just came in. That should be up soon. Until next time...
