house closing....finally!!!

With the house closing this friday, I may be a little quiet here on the blog in the next week or two. As I've written before, this has been the most stressful process of my life and I am SOOO glad its over in just two days!!!

I'll post some before and after pictures once I'm in and get some work done. I've got a lot to do and I am excited to get to it. I've got a lot of plans including my new office for client consultations and a dedicated workstation. Lots going on!!!! Carpets, paint, furniture, oh my!!!!

master your craft...

Today I was up in Hartford for the full day seminar Master your Craft by Mike Colon and Bob Davis. I had never heard either speak before and was grateful for the opportunity to be there. Both are rockstar photographers and have shot many high end celebrity weddings such as Eva Longoria, Eddie Murphy, Usher, etc... It was a great environment to be in today and learn from both of these guys.

Below are some images from the camera technique part of the day and the last photo is me with both of them courtesy of CT's own rockstar Steve Depino.

seminars....

I spent this past weekend up in Boston attending a seminar by the great Mitche Graf. It was one of the most exciting seminars on marketing that I've ever been too. I couldn't take notes fast enough to keep up with all the great stuff Mitche was conveying. I met a few new people as well as saw some old friends which is always nice.

**House update** The closing on our house is in two weeks...its nice to be getting close to the end of the road....I DEFINITELY won't miss this process when its over!!!!

tv technique with tivo...

So, I've been using this technique for a while and thought I'd share it. Whenever an hour long show is on that I want to watch, I don't start watching it until 15 minutes have passed. This way once I do start watching it through TiVo, I can fast forward through the commercials and by the time the show is ending I'm just catching up to it in realtime and it ends right on time. So I gain 15 minutes of extra free time before the show starts and I end up catching up with the show and ending it exactly at the top of the hour.

Try it out...let me know what you do with your extra 15 minutes!!!

i love being wrong...

Its never felt so good being wrong!!!
Giants win, Giants win, Giants win!!

super bowl prediction...

Well, we're about an hour and a half from kickoff...and I got to tell you this one is already over.

Now, no one dislikes the Patriots more than me, but you've got to be realistic. The Patsies are just too good and the G-men aren't. I was going to go into a big breakdown of all stats and scenarios, but it would get too depressing.

So don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for the Giants but if I had to make my prediction:

Pats 31
Giants 17

There it is...Gosh, I hope I'm wrong...
