I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned in any of my past enteries how bored I have been over the past couple of months.  Winter is such a drag.  Well I had my first wedding for the year.  Kelly & Brian got married last Saturday at the Bauerhaus.  Not much growth on the trees yet but it was a good for getting out and taking photos.  My day started off with a trip to Impulse in Newburgh for the hair appointments.  Now I’m not going to pretend to anything about solons, I mean look at me, but I have to admit this place was fun.  It just had a fun and lively atmosphere. Give them some serious thought for your wedding day.

I’m going to bounce around some in this post. Now you know why this blog used to be called the “Ramblings of a Mad Man” It’s because it’s sounds more creative than a guy with a camera and A-D-D. Yesterday, some friends and I went down to Nashville for a seminar on photoshop. Now I don’t really think I learned anything I didn’t already know but more of a different way of thinking. I’ve had the opportunity to see a couple of speakers this year that have taken me back to my art school roots.  Which you’ve probably noticed with the last few posts I’ve made.  Over the past few months I’ve been playing with my images more and pushing them beyond documentary work. I’ve been playing with textures and now after last night, I’m going to start playing with layering elements on top of each other to get some really creative things going.  Don’t worry those of you out there that are worried about what your wedding is going to look like.  I’m still going to do good solid photographer for all my clients. What I’m doing here is for me and those that want something different.  I still want you to be able to look back at your images and remember your wedding day, but as an art major I need to be able to do something fun and off the wall once in awhile. I’ve had a few conversations with friends this week about the stuff we do being a fad…which got me to thinking… I could look at the things we do in photography as fad, but I’ve decided to look at them not as fad but as art movements.  After all I don’t think we would call Picasso’s Cubism a fad.
