Andrea and Sterling totally get what Fred Egan is about-so great working with you guys :) I also rocked the 90mm Tilt Shift in this shoot-what a fun piece of glass!

This is my grandma. Actually, she's my A-Ma...Chinese for grandma. I made this photograph while I was in Taiwan last month. I entered this photo in BluDomain's monthly photo contest and the winner gets a pair of Nikes. She is in a wheelchair now thanks to Ninjas. She needs Nikes to breakdance fight her way to revenge.


That's right folks...A-Ma knows how to breakdance fight.


Ok so grandma was actually hit by a scooter but that doesn't sound as cool. And as far as the Nike's go...I'd like to give them to Cyrus, a 5 year Filipino boy I've sponsored through Compassion International. That would rock his poverty stricken world. So vote for A-Ma this month.

We're three photographers who love what we do and want to share it with others. Come hang out with us and learn how we work, how we shoot, how we interact with clients. Come be stretched technically and inspired creatively. Change the way you think and look at your photography and leave with the knowledge you need to continue growing and some killer images to add to your portfolio.

Fred Egan: Portraits
Amy Coffey: Kids
Michael Norwood: Weddings


WHEN: April 20-23, 2008

We'll get together Sunday night to meet, eat and get to know each other. Monday morning everything begins with some classroom time covering marketing and the technical side of shooting. After lunch we'll head out for a live shoot and then to dinner. Tuesday we'll cover post-processing and the artistic side of shooting. After lunch we'll head out for another live shoot and then to dinner. Wednesday's schedule looks the same... classroom time, lunch and the workshop concludes with the last live shoot.

WHERE: Glen Rose, TX... a little town outside Dallas with a lot of charm and a million places to shoot. You'll stay at a charming lodge on the bank of the Brazos River.

COST: $1500

Tuition includes 3 days of in-depth training with Fred, Amy and Michael, lodging and all meals (heck yeah!), 3 live shoots, one on one portfolio critique.

We'll cover the technical and artistic aspects of shooting (camera settings, composition, seeing the light, being inspired, working with clients during the shoot), workflow (from raw files to finished product), post-processing, marketing, getting published.

Space is limited so reserve your spot soon! Email info@thelabworkshop.com

This week's New Music Tuesday is Addison Road, for a couple of reasons. First, I actually photographed them last year and went to high school with one of the guys. Second, they were the Discovery Download on iTunes last week so go download their song...some of your might dig 'em.

Due to the Thirst Relief auction site crashing because of the tremendous response of everyone participating in this cause to provide clean drinking water to those without, they have re-opened my auction for 3 more hours. So if you wanted to bid and couldn't, now is your chance!

Just finished up a sample album from an awesome wedding in Malibu, CA. Take a peek if you'd like below. By the way, I use the fine folks at Leather Craftsmen to produce my albums. They do quite nifty work.

One of the last engagement sessions I shot in 2007. Super fun couple!
