Man, I can not believe this video exists on the internet…. Wong and Kevin recorded this video for me back in 2002 and it probably has every bad video cliche ever invented it in…. lol. The crazy part is that this was right when I started hanging out with my now best friend, Ryan Miller. He makes a cameo in this along with my friends Jeff Irizari, Chad Samiljan, Joey Ambrose, Ryan...

I know most photographers are not willing to give advice at all, in fear of the competition. I think It’s really awesome that you actually answer the questions that are asked. Keep up the good work man! I always had someone to talk to when I was first starting out so I figure there is no harm in giving people information if they are actively seeking it the...

What lens would you recommend, using a Nikon D60, for the following: -concert photography -weddings -sports events (mainly football) -anything else in between (: The D60 does not have a built in Auto Focus Motor so here are my recommendations for your applications! Concert Photography - the Nikon 35mm 1.8 (around $200) is amazing, or you can pick up the 50mm...

Hey! How much editing do you do on your images? Do you concentrate more on using lighting to get your desired effect and edit a small amount, or do you edit a lot? Love your work btw! (: I try to get everything as close to perfect 100% in camera with the use of external lighting. Most of my editing is just color correction in lightroom, dodge and burn and a bit...

For someone who loves photography but is JUST starting out, what camerae would you recommend to start with? I would suggest either a Nikon D40 if you can get it (the new version is the D3000 but you loose the amazing flash sync of the D40), or a Canon Rebel Xsi or Xti. They are running in the $300-$500 range and you can still take amazing pictures even with the...

Which was your favourite band you had a photoshoot with? That is a tough one! I have had nothing but amazing experiences with every band and client I have shot with, but some of my favorite national shoots were Hey Monday, A Rocket to the Moon and The Cab. All amazing people and they were very easy to work with. As far as local bands go, I had blasts with...

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it? Teleportation (without pain) hands down. If I could have an add on to the superpower, it would be to teleport everything that I was carrying or had directly next to me at the time. Getting to shoots would be so much easier and I wouldn’t have to lug all this gear...

How do you decide what to price for your...
You basically should charge what you feel you are worth, without worrying about people thinking it will be too much. If clients are actively seeking you out for your work then they will most likely be willing to pay for it as well. The best bet is to start at a comfortable level for you, and then raise your rates as time goes on and your experience grows! Make it a point not to low-ball...

Got Bored... Followed Elliot's Lead
I decided to make a formspring… this is the site that a lot of people are getting where you can ask anonymous questions and I will never know who you are!   So go ahead and ask away! http://www.formspring.me/wordsnowheard

Not many of you may know this, but I grew up in the South Florida music scene and was very close with the Pundik family from the ages of 16-19. I was more close with Edra, Daniel, Maureen and Carlos than Jordan, but none the less, I was down in Coral Springs almost every other weekend. Maureen Pundik (Jordan from New Found Glory’s Mother) always welcomed me into her home with a warm smile,...
