Got these shots on a cold night in Vegas. Last week we were on our best behavoir in Vegas for the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI). No really, best behavior. No gambling, drinking, or strippers. I did have one $10 beer. It was awesome. What we did get from the trip is a wealth of information and these sick shots.

Hot and sticky decribes the weather. I think I lost a few lbs on the bright side. Other bright side, great looking bride and groom created good images.

A Beautiful day for a Wedding.

Today Katie and Rob said "I do". Rob was pimped out rolling up in a white corvette. Great entrance Rob. Katie's entrance even more special. She had two ;). Katie you were stunning bride. You stopped time while everyone admired your beauty. Your wonderful vows were sweet and from the heart. Raise your hand if you had tears build up while Katie and Rob exchanged vows. **raises hand** But I had a job to do and my camera is not water proof. So no crying here> ;)

Arriving at 5:45 am to get this shot. Phew, that's really early for me. I'm lucky that I got there when I did. About 15 minutes later the sun came up blowing out the sky to a complete white. That means no blue in the sky. Also I can't believe someone would wake up so early to wash their clothes. I had a few cars show up which pretty much ended the morning for me. So far I'm really enjoying Commercial Real Estate photography. I'm taking a rather dull subject and capturing the best available lighting. Being there at the right time makes the colors pop. Can't get that if the lighting isn't good. Can't get new jobs if my work isn't better than the last job.

Special thanks to Commercial Facilities Incorporated (CFI) in giving me the opportunity in working with them. I think they like my work :) and it's been a pleasure working with them. Especially Rich Lee, thanks for all your help and opportunity. Days after completing their last project they're giving another assignment. YES!!!

Turquoise Restaurant. Live Music Every Night.

2008-04-18T22:09:00.000-07:00

Great Restaurant with Live Music every night. Located in Pacific Beach. I photographed this for a friend/manager of the Turquoise. Hi Nicolee! They were in desperate need for better photos for their webpage. As a guest, fantastic vibe, music, and the food smelt good too. From a photographers stand point, stay out of the way of the waiters and cooks, be a fly on the wall. Oh and a crazy mixture of lighting. Fun, yet difficult to work with.
Hope you enjoyed the photos Nicollee.

Patrick O'Dell and Linda Lay Engaged. THAT'S ME!!!!!!

2008-03-22T22:16:00.000-07:00

I did it!! We did it!! Taking the next grand step forward. Linda and I going on to ten years, finally got engaged March 18th 2008. I popped the question on the sands of Coronado Beach with the famous Hotel Del Coronado in the background.
Awesome place to stay! We called our family that night, and the most common response to our news, "...it's about time".

Olaf Blecker Style

2008-02-28T00:11:00.000-08:00

Got this idea from Strobist.com in a recent article about Olaf Blecker. Love the gritty look. This one isn't up to par with what Olaf would produce. But shows how much a look and feel of a photo can be changed.

First pic. Minor adjustment in LR adjusting the brightness and slight contrast.

Second Pic done in LR. Contrast, desaturation, increased highlights and darkened midtones.
