...and thanks for all the fish!

If you're a "Hitchhiker's Guide through the Galaxy" fan, you'll understand that title.

I'm announcing the end of Best Visuals in 2008. We're closing our doors as I have moved on to gainful employment in the software industry in Colorado Springs. I appreciate the 5 years I was doing wedding and event photography, and it allowed me to be home with my children during their teenage years. The loss of weekends, the 18 hour days and the feast-or-famine schedule of weddings and events eventually drove me to a regular paying job.

Thanks again for all the brides that made my last five years possible, good luck!

This has NOTHING to do with Best Visuals...

...but we just bought my son his first car. We didn't plan on buying a car today but we went to the "Huge Car Sale" at the World Areana in Colorado Springs and found this [hopefully] beaut of a car. We'll have it checked out at a dealer tomorrow, but barring some unforeseen problem we have him a car. The best thing is that he got to pick it out and it fit our budget.

I won first place!

I won first place in the Passenger Cars 1979-1985 category today at the Durango, CO car show. I was totally surprised. I'm not at a computer where I can post a lot of my images, but I'll put three from the show today. It was my second car show in my first two weeks of car ownership.

Whew! It's been busy!

I flew to Houston, TX to pick up a collector's automobile ( http://mydeloreanblog.blogspot.com/ ). I have never seen so much rain as in Denton, TX on my two-day drive home. I used to live in Texas for 10 years so I'm used to summer thunderstorms but Noah has never seen rain like this.

Currently Best Visuals is working on our latest wedding album for Christine & Josh. We anticipate it will be our best ever!

What a great wedding day!

Christine & Josh had a fantastic day for their wedding! They got married at Sunrise Methodist Church on Briargate Road in Colorado Springs, CO this past Saturday. Their incredible reception was at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Personally I have *never* had smoked salmon as good as I had at the reception (yes, the family fed me!). What a great way for two families to join up...

Beautiful wedding location

My latest wedding is taking place at Sunrise Methodist Church in Colorado Springs. I visited the church today for the first time, and found the sanctuary lovely. I took my fisheye lens with me and took this dramatic shot at the altar...

Car Convention Video Project

I've been approved to coordinate the DCS 2008 Car Show video project in June 2008. This is a car show for Delorean and Bricklin car owners (I think it's the "Gullwing Society") in Gettysburg, PA the second week of June 2008. I will be collecting video from the speakers, taking some myself, accepting photos from the attendees and then selling a convention documentary video. I've done this kind of speculation video before for high school graduations and class reunions so it's old hat to me. The group apparently had some distribution problems in previous years so I will rectify that problem. It will be a nice vacation, my son Reese is planning to go with me as an extra cameraman and assistant.
