Studio Management Services (SMS) in Atlanta

    I just got back from a 2 day workshop in Atlanta that PPA sponsored.  It taught me a lot.  (A mean a lot)  I learned how to better market my business and learn how to deal with customers.  I am going to have to digest everything in the next day or two and rework everything.

    I was able to take a lot of nice fine art photography images while I was there.  (Images will be posted by the end of the week.) 

    I will also be posting some images of my wife’s stay in the hospital and Halloween.

Last couple of weeks

   I have been so busy the last couple of weeks.  My wife spent some time in the hospital and I caught a nasty chest infection.   All is well now and cannot wait to get thing back to “normal.”

Camera Club

   Tonight at camera club, while fishing around the magazine bin, I found this old magazine that I feel in love with the cover image

 

This camera belonged to Bill Biggart.  He was a photographer that was killed on 9-11 when the second tower collapsed.  The rules are generally when you are done with the magazine, put it back in the bin but considering I gave them 20 magazines last week, the is going in my collection of favorite images.

TAL RIMONI’s Bar Mitzvah

  I had the pleasure of shooting Tal’s Bar Mitzvah yesterday.  While I was not allowed to shoot anything during the service, I got some great shoots of the reception.

 

 

 

 

 

update

I have been bust editing images from a recent wedding and will be posting those to me website shortly. I also plan on updating my portfolio as well as my whole website.

personne qui collecte les donations

I just wanted to send everyone an update.  My family and I just got back from our vacation in Boulder.  We had a lot of fun.  While we were busy visiting my wife’s new niece, we did not get much of a chance to go into the mountains.  I was able to take some amazing images in the center of town.  (Pearl Street Mall.)  I am calling the collection, “personne qui collecte les donations.”   While that is in French, when you see the images, you should be able to translate. 

 

          Just go to www.john-roy.com and the gallery is the last one.

 

          None of these images are have been corrected in Photoshop.  They are just as I shot them.  (Just exposure correction )  I wanted everything to be the way it was when I saw it.   I included an image that I took in Boulder 2 years ago and a image in Cambridge that I took 3 years ago b/c they all go together.)

Fourth of July with Carin!

I had a lot of fun in Salem with Carin watching the fireworks!

Elizabeth and John

 

I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Elizabeth and John yesterday.  They had a small small wedding in Winthrop.  I am just starting to look at the pictures now but here are a few of my favorites.

 

My little girl Carin.

   My little girl Carin was such a good girl this week.  On Tuesday she had several odontomasremoved from the left side of her mouth.  They are all because of the neurofibromatosis that she has.  (she got it from me) 

  Here is a picture of her trying to punch my crackberry before her surgery. 

 

 

Carin was so brave.  This was not just minor oral surgery.  They had to do this in an OR at Children’s Hospital.

Carin has a couple more follow ups to make sure everything is healing ok.  (So far so good)

That is why I am donating 10% of all of my photography income to www.ctf.org

new lens!!

   I splurged and bought myself a new lens a NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G.  I just apsolutly love it!  Here are some images that I took with it.

 

 

Yes I know I should have cleaned up first.

 

Here is the room again but clean.  (minus the Kevin the Cat)

 

This is so Carin it is not even funny.

Some cheese I got for some family that came over to visit.

more images from our trip to NY

These first two images are of the Strong National Museum of Play.  The hotel were wse stayed gave us free passes.  Carin had so much fun.  (It is the perfect place for a hyper-active kid to go) 

 

 

That afternoon, we went to the cemetery to see Tiffany’s family plot.  (plus I did some scoping and found this cross that was screaming to be photographed.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two more images from my hike around Rochester. 

 

An old restaurant that Tiffany’s family use to love. They are now closed.  (Otherwise we would have had chinese atleast twice while out ther)

And no trip to Rochester would be complete without a trip to Parkleigh
