Day 203 - Going Up?

Final day of the Bridal Extravaganza and I can definitely say it is a very unique experience. Overall, it was a good one that I will walk away having learned more about anything and everything that is related to this show. A good portion of my time, when I wasn't out photographing the event, was in the entrance to Hall B. They have four escalators there that will take you to the 2nd floor and I probably went up and down them to many times to count, in order to get to my 2nd floor room where I took photos for a time lapse.

Even though I got a few laughs from my fellow co-workers and a few of the vendors at the event, I think this photo came out really well. I especially like how it captures my reflections on the side as I sit in between. It was a fun, yet busy, weekend and it's funny to say that my work week has just begun.

Day 202 - Warped Reflection

At the end of the day at the Bridal Extravaganza I was heading to the second floor to grab my bag, and I noticed that the glass bends the reflection of the downtown skyline. I thought it was pretty awesome so I went back down the escalator in order to grab a shot of it as I passed by. Today went by really well, got to shoot the fashion shows and that was a learning experience for sure. Well, off to bed for the final day of the Bridal Extravaganza!

Day 201 - The Orb of Knowledge

Walking around the GRB (the George R. Brown) Convention Center today, I noticed just how crazy some of their decor and architecture is. It really is a great place to be a photographer, everywhere you look there is something amazing to take a shot of. Sadly, this is one of the the last photographs that was taken with my Canon 40D. While trying to set up for a Time Lapse of the event, I received a Error 99 on my main screen, which in Canon talk means out of commission. I am hoping it is easily fixable and will not take to long, until then I will be shooting with my mothers Canon 30D. Not to much of a difference, but it still feels strange not having my 40D with me when I am shooting. Hopefully, it is just a minor fix.

Day 200 - Bridal Extravaganza

Bridal Extravaganza starts this weekend and if your a bride-to-be it is definitely where you will be this weekend. For the most part I should be snapping photographs of the Brides and their guests. So if your there Saturday or Sunday be on the look out for me. I will be one of the few guys there.

Day 196 - Happy 4th of July

Not a whole lot of time to really get all of this as perfect as possible. I am a little blury, there are some crazy glows around the plants, and the roof is way to bright from the flash going off. Despite all that, I think the final result came out pretty descent and it is always fun to shoot fireworks each year. Hope everybody had a great and safe 4th of July!

Day 195 - The Mighty Wallet

Just recently I purchased a mighty wallet from www.dynomighty.com. This one in particular is known as the "Color Bar Mighty Wallet." They are made of Tyvek® and was designed by Terrence Kelleman. They are a single piece of origami that was incredibly folded into this form. It is tear resistant, water resistant and also made from 25% recycled H.D.P.E which in return makes the whole wallet is completely recyclable. They have many MANY more designs to check out on their website, especially if your looking for an ultra-thin wallet.

Day 194 - Sin City

I have been on a Graphic Novel trip for the last few months. I have been wanting to replicate different themes that are used in different ones and today it's Sin city. I think it turned out okay, but it is the first of a few I plan on doing with a replication of a GN in mind. Well, off to play in the rain!
