Fine Art Nature Photography - FOR SALE : I truly believe that when one hangs a picture up in their living area, they are expressing their passion for life. For some, a cute picture works fine, but for others, it must be deep and rich, with some image that stirs the emotion within ourselves; that is a true appreciation of the arts. The complete balance between the subject and the color of the story, tells how mature the photographer's skill level has developed. It is the complex layers of the exposure of the images and the ability to let the imagination soar, that will grab a person's attention, and cause a reaction. My buyers tend to seek out the complexity in my work, and will either love it, or hate it. A youth once commented to me that he did not like my work because he felt it was too raw, he liked to shoot fishes in a lightbox, and the prettiness of life in a swirl of colors and happiness. My comment to him was, life is not like that, it combines a specturm of emotions that attacks the soul. If you choose to only see the positive in life, then you are not seeing reality, you are not growing. The gift of life challenges the soul and heart, and one needs to use the leassons learnt to move on, and, never to forget the bad that came with the good. I am continually working on pieces, and updating my website, so, if you see something you would like to purchase, call me, and I would be happy to bring my interpretation of life into you living space.

Graphic Art - FOR SALE : Although not termed "Pure Art", Graphic Art is created to capture the imagination of the viewer. It is an interperation of the image that asks the question, "What is reality, and was is not"...

Abbacom Photography : How to receive great Wedding Pictures: - Spend your budget on making your theme look rich, and not cheap; your dress, his tux, your wedding party's attire, small and condensed bouquets, table toppers, a good photographer and DJ, as well as a limo, should top your list. - Avoid using "picnic" snacks, room decorations and expensive itinerery; an elegant table will say volumes rather than a cheap standing flower arrangement. - Choose deep true colors for bridesmaids' dresses and flowers; off colors will only work if is it deep and complimented with your white or cream dress. - Small weddings with 1 or 2 attendendants for the Bride and Groom, can improve the wedding's apperance if the attendants wear elegant gowns and suits. - If you are going to be too nervous during the shoot, ask for your pictures to be taken either after the wedding and reception is over, or, arrange for another date and time when you can work one on one with the photographer. (This will be at an extra cost, but the results are outstanding!). Nervous couples tend to show strain and reluctance to pose when the full audience is watching the shoot, so plan ahead! - If you like heavy digital manipulation, or none at all, tell your photographer so that your Wedding pictures would be tailored to your taste. - Finally, GO WITH THE FLOW; Brides and Grooms tend to believe that a wedding day should be a perfect day with no mistakes. Remember, you are working with a cross section of people and professionals, so, delegate and monitor, and be gracious; your family and friends want to see you happy, so do not allow pressure to make you unhappy.

Interview and Blogging with Threshold and Abbacom : Question: I like your style, it's different, have you ever had any bad photos? Answer: Yes, it is a common mistake to assume that every photo taken is a good photo. I may take 5 - 7 shots of one pose just to balance the subject in the background. It can be uncomfortable for a subject to reason away how many shots for one pose, but in the end, it is worth it. Question: So what makes a picture a great picture? Answer: The correct ingredients of lighting, pose, color, background and expression of the subject. To really apprecaite great photography, you have to appreciate the photographer's work, if you don't like the photos, find another photographer more suited to your style. Question: I have had a lot of friends who said that their photographer did not take the pictures they asked for, and that it was a long drawn out process. What makes you unique? Answer: It is a common mistake to state that anyone behind a digital camera can take better pictures than a professional photographer. Research your photographer and the get to know the body of his work. A pro. will always submit consistant work to clients, and yes, good shots take time, so be prepared. Also, do not expect great shoots from an ametur, or poor shoots from a pro. Once you have choosen your photographer, you have accepted his style, so don't complain. Question: What are some of your favorite pictures to take? Answer: I love cleints who allow me to use my full artistic creativity to express how I see them reacting in their environment. People have an idea of who they are, and sometimes when they see themselves outside their own skin, they tend to either love what they see, or hate it. I believe it is a matter of pride that one has to humble oneself to the gift of nature, rather than bending nature to oneself. Question: Are some shots more difficult than others to take? Answer: I find that difficult shots radiate from the detailing of the client. One client of mine wanted a complete face lift, another client complained about everything. I love shooting, and enjoy challenges, so, a difficult client turning up every now and then keeps me on my toes. Question: Who was your most memorable client? Answer: It was for a race car driver for the Indy 500 back in 2006. Rights and rules remain confidential. I took his photos at his house, and it was an interesting shoot. I felt like I was working for the FBI because I had to turn over the entire CD to him right after the shoot with no clean ups. Question: I don't think I can afford your pictures, any suggestions? Answer: A bride from Indianapolis saw my website on the net, and booked me 6 months in advance. I worked on a payment plan to allow her to pay a certain sum each month, right up to her wedding date. She was thrilled, and ever so often, she calls to see how I am doing.
