Catalyst One Day in Atlanta and No Film?

26 Feb

I am in Atlanta right now getting ready to shoot the Catalyst One Day event at Northpoint Church and later the Off the Blogs at Buckhead Church.  This was one of the most last minute shoots I was ever asked to do, but being that it was Catalyst (and the Off the Blogs) I was pretty excited about accepting the last minute offer.  Step one as a photographer is always always pack your film (or in this case digital compact flash cards).  Without a medium to record any images on, it makes your equipment and time pretty useless, and up until this month, over the last 10-12 years, I have never forgotten those precious cards (or film), but I did today.

I did the same thing a few weeks ago when we went to the Butterfly Day Center at Callaway and wanted to make sure I never did that again (same reason as today, I switched camera bags at the last minute) so I guess this makes number two.  Thank goodness there is a Best Buy in the same parking lot as my hotel and I can go pick up something I already have tons of, but can’t do the shoot without.

I am really looking forward to the day today and can’t wait to hear and worship with everyone at Northpoint.  I doubt I will be able to post any pictures throughout the day here but you might look for some over on Twitter, but I should have some shots of Andy Stanley, Fee Band, Carlos Whittaker, Anne Jackson, and several more posted here over the next few days.  Now off to our favorite neighborhood Best Buy.

Word to Real Estate in Auburn // Photos

Word to Real Estate in Auburn // Photos

Rob Slocumb is perhaps best known for his guitar work with Martha’s Trouble, so when he asked me to do a quick and easy photo shoot for him this week I was thinking music, band, guitars, and all that (see Martha’s Trouble Live at Eighth and Rail in Opelika // Photos), but it was for his day job as a Real Estate agent.  I have my typical stereotype of a “Real Estate Agent” in my mind and “cool” wasn’t really top on my list, until now.  Rob needed some head shots done for some advertising and here are a few takes from that shoot.  These probably aren’t the ones he wants to use for advertising but I couldn’t shoot straight head shots the whole time, we need a little edge.

With that said, if anyone has a chance to go see Martha’s Trouble perform live, they play in various venues around the southeast and are well worth the time.  They have a great pop/rock sound with a little Canadian twist so be sure to check them out.

I am a little more accustomed to doing shots off the cuff or candid stuff from bands but I am more than happy to do some standard head shots when I get the chance.  Tomorrow is going to be huge as far as photography goes for me and I hope to add a few more head shots of some new faces.  Right after I finish this post I am off to Atlanta for Catalyst One Day and the Off the Blogs meetup.  Can’t wait to pull out the camera again for the line up I shot back in October for Catalyst08.  For a quick recap of that shoot, go here, here, and here.  See you back here tomorrow from Atlanta.

The Spurlock Family Photo Shoot on the Farm

26 Oct

Spurlock Family Photo Shoot

About a week ago I did a shoot (with Deb’s help, thanks) here at our place with some close friends of mine, the Spurlock family, Heath, Dawn, Dylan, and Haley.  It was the first family shoot I had done out here on the farm it was great fun.  It was nice of Dawn to think of me and ask me to do the shoot for her and her family.  Although mama was the most willing participant out of the group, they all made it a great afternoon and I loved to get a chance to do some photos right here at home.

Below are a few of my favorites from the day.  If you want to see the entire shoot you can go to the Spurlock Gallery and see the rest over there.
