It is amazing to look at the winning World Press images, but it is even more incredible to hear the interviews of the photographers behind the photographs.
Truly incredible storytellers – so inspiring!

All it takes is some endurance training. And pushups.

Surreal Twitter Moment…
I didn’t get a chance to get online yesterday, but I couldn’t pass this up. It is a bit surreal when you go back to read twitter, and see that someone you follow posted about the major wreck on 59 South; a wreck that you passed about 30 minutes earlier while driving on the northbound side of the freeway.
Of course, it would have helped me if I had been heading southbound and had seen it before I was driving, but still — while I waited for my meeting, I checked in on Twitter and saw that, and thought the whole thing was just amusing.
I have a confession. I love to edit in little photo editing marathon sessions. Now that I’ve picked up on this, I’m working on a schedule to take advantage of it. Especially since over the next few months I have a total of 7, possibly 8 weddings to photograph. Most of the engagement sessions are done for the spring though, so that makes things a little lighter.
I am testing out the beta of Lightroom v. 2.0 now – and I just have to say that it is SWEEEEET! I am loving it! It is so cool that you can spot edit now, tweaking exposure in just certain areas of a photo. At this point, I’m only opening PhotoShop while proofing to add my logo to images before posting them online. Nice! It makes things so much faster!
Of course, I’ll still be doing the final edits before printing client work in PhotoShop – there is just some magic that can only happen there.
Today I wrapped up editing on Kara’s bridal session at Champion’s Country Club and Kara & Bryan’s engagement session in downtown Houston. Of course, I can’t post the bridal photos online yet, but the engagement session was such fun, I couldn’t wait to share it!
New editing schedule:
– Weekend shoot
– Proof Monday & Tuesday (ideally the wedding I just shot, but I know I’ll have other things to proof too.)
– Blog about event on Wednesday or Thursday
– Upload files as needed, burn backup copies to DVD, backup on external drive
– Fridays are my day off, along with most Sundays
– Lather, rinse, repeat!
Here are a few from Kara & Bryan’s shoot – there are more over on the Wedding Photography blog for you to check out!
