Ghostbusters 3?

Jenn Deering Davis, of ZiteFight fame, sent me this link regarding a possible third Ghostbusters movie.

If it happens (and that’s a big ‘if’ at this point), it would be great, if for only one reason: to burn out of my memory everything that is Ghostbusters 2. Sort of the same way that Star Wars Episode 3 made up somewhat for Episode 1. And the way that Indiana Jones movies 1-3  ’paid it forward’ to make up for Indy 4.

————-

In other news, we are in the middle of our big DC trip and will return home next week after we visit my sister. My attempts to look for a treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence were met with a big FAIL, but whatever. I’ll find the treasure somehow.

Trevor’s Birthday Invite

Trevor’s invites have gone out (except for people in the neighborhood), and so I decided to post it.

I am showing the image from the card without the bottom (which includes all the details.)

This design (minus the baby) is part of a new batch of Box Office Baby card designs that will be coming out shortly. And if you are a neighborhood friend of Trevor, pretend you didn’t see this! :)

Liz the Opera Singer

Liz is an incredible opera singer who has performed at several venues, including our newly-opened Long Center. We talked about doing some portraits that were different, and I think we accomplished that!

A special thanks to Melanie Steele for handling makeup and Kristin Farwell for assisting.

We started at the Jackalope bar down on 6th street:

We put some people around her and had a mini-concert for them!

redo_090308-2.jpg

After the bar, we headed to the Long Center and did some shots in front of the main entrance.

Normally with flare like this I would have trashed the image, but I kind of like the moviestar-esque look to it.

Finally, we headed over to a nearby fountain:

    I’ll have what she’s drinking! Too fun! Love the shot with her in the water with the kids!

  2. Kristin

    These turned out GREAT!! I love the one with ‘flair’ - you’re right, it is very Hollywood. And the ones in the bar are classic. Thanks for the experience in assisting - hope I can do it again sometime!

  3. Linda

    Great shot. LOVE the bar shot with the martini and the water shot. All are great as usual.

  4. Liz Cass (Brown), Opera Singer Extraordinaire | KARMALIZED

    [...] him too many pesky questions (but it was hard, he has so much gear!). His photos came out amazing - check them out over at his blog. I hope to work w/ him [...]

Robin + Greg

Yesterday’s wedding shall go down as one of the most unique ones that I’ve photographed. Robin is from Texas, and Greg is from Scotland. The wedding was an incredible mix of both American and Scottish traditions, and it was pretty cool!

09108-1.jpg

The ceremony began with some bagpipe playing.

09108-2.jpg

Greg and all of the groomsmen wore kilts! This wedding also featured two best men.

09108-3.jpg

Robin looked incredible:

09108-4.jpg

09108-5.jpg

The toasts were hilarious, and Greg had a few sentimental remarks about growing up and his future with Robin.

09108-6.jpg

Greg’s parents:

09108-7.jpg

Time for a little sas:

09108-8.jpg

09108-9.jpg

A lot of the dancing included Scottish traditions like this one, where the bride and groom are literally kicked during a song by the crowd!

09108-10.jpg

Here, they sit on the floor and perform a whole routine:

09108-11.jpg

The wedding was coordinated by the fabulous Amanda and Katelyn of Big Day Event Productions.

Congratulations to Robin and Greg!

It’s Official - I’m Running For President

Our original plan was to announce this via a twitter message later in the day, but the news has already started to break that I am running for President. We’ve really focused on a grassroots effort here in Austin, and we hope to be on the ballot in all 50 states in time for the November election.

Channel 3 went with the story earlier today (covering in particular our internet campaign), and so we are announcing the candidacy now. Stay tuned for more info on how you can join our cause!

Thanks to Tony for sending this in!

Late Night Pool Hall

Almost a year ago, I photographed Christine and Erik’s wedding. It was cool because Christine had a couple of dress changes that were very unique.

Christine and Erik play a lot of pool, and Christine asked if I would photograph her in that environment. We hit up their favorite pool hall and started shooting last night around 9PM. Luckily there weren’t too many people there as I was popping 2 or 3 strobes at a time, although one or two people were taken off guard initially and laughed about how bright it was.

Here are some favorites. I think Christine will be the next black widow - what do you think?

The Boys Of Summer

Had a quick opportunity on Friday to shoot some adorable kids as a gift for their mom’s birthday. How cool is that? We hung out by the basketball court and the pool for a little while and got some good shots!

Baby Chandler

I had the opportunity today to photograph a beautiful baby named Chandler, and she’s pretty cute! We were trying to figure out who she resembled more (mom or dad) but so far we are undecided. Here are some favorites.

081308-2.jpg

Love this one - BLAH!

081308-3.jpg

Father-daughter time, and a big yawn:

Welcome to the world, baby Chandler!

Jenn, Hayes, And The World Championship of Style

Jenn and Hayes are on to something. They’ve started a business based around internet shopping called Appozite, and they’ve just released the first website under the new brand (Zitefight.com). In case you missed hearing about it, Zitefight pits 2 pictures against each other, with one voted as the most stylish! Users upload their pictures (or, ‘fighters’) to compete, and the community votes on them.

Jenn asked me to take some new portraits of her to promote her business, and so we set up at her house in front of a cool bookshelf that was decorated with multiple colors. Her husband Hayes, who is the technical marvel of the company, sat in for a few shots as well.

Every hip person needs to understand the history of hip.

Love this one!

After a few shots, Hayes retreated to the lair to get back to work!

Head on over to ZiteFight. You might find a couple of Brandon, Trevor, and Lisa fighters, all vying for the top position!
