Monday morning greetings to one and all!

Well it’s time to get back to work after having had a very nice long Thanksgiving weekend to get away and unwind! At this time of the year, we’re all trying to get things wrapped up with the holiday season fast approaching. We’ve got a big push of video editing the next couple of weeks, so there’s going to be a lot of computer time coming up!

I’ve always talked about my Flickr page and it’s such a great place to see a lot of my images. I’ve had my images there for about nine years now and it’s been a great place to share these images over the years. One of the fun things that just happened is that my images have now been viewed more than 500,000 times. Jan also has a bunch of her images on Flickr as well and I’ll be sharing a link for her page too. We both love to shoot photos and sharing our work gives us an incredible amount of pleasure and satisfaction. Here’s a couple of links for both of our Flickr album pages and you’ll see a wide variety of subjects.

I’ve also got a few snaps from my visit last week to White Sands National Monument, N.M.. As always it’s one of my favorite places to shoot and with the clouds, sun and sand, it can make for a lot of great photos!

Alright, let’s get to work! There’s lots to do, so we both hope that you have a very wonderful week!!!!

Thanks as always for checking out these photos!!!

Thanksgiving 2015

Monday morning greetings to one and all!!!

It’s Thanksgiving week for all of us here in the US and that’s a good thing. Unless you’re working in a retail or a service industry, you’ve got this Thursday off from work and probably even Friday as well. Having a little break like that to get away from work and just relax and unwind is alway a huge positive for most of us! It’s also nice to be able to spend time with family and friends as well. It’s great to be watching a Thanksgiving parade or a NFL football game along with some great food during the course of the day. Hopefully you’ll be able to do a few of those things this Thanksgiving!

We are both very thankful for so much this year and this is a great time of the year to reflect on that. Our business has been really good and we have been busy from the start of this year and it hasn’t stopped. Most of the rest of this year is already booked with shoots and editing and we are even starting to book time in January! That to me is amazing because normally there is a bit of a lull to start any new year and then at some point, the phone will start raining and things will get going.

Here’s a couple of snaps from our trip out to the East Coast. Jan’s photo is from the Eastham, Ma. of the Nauset Beach Lighthouse and mine is of the gate at The Breakers in Newport, Ri.

If you’re traveling this week to spend time with family and friends, make it a safe one. Enjoy the time and cherish all the moments spent with them!

Thanks for checking out our work and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

DC

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

We got back in the saddle this past week from our East Coast road-trip and it’s so nice to be home for at least a couple of weeks!

While we were out shooting in the Northern Virginia area, we were able to spend a few hours in the mall area of Washington DC. It’s probably been about 50 years since I’ve been there, so it was great to see some of it again! The weather couldn’t have been nicer with the temperature at about 70 and beautiful sunshine all afternoon. It always makes things a whole lot nicer when the weather is super comfortable like it was that day.

We started our little tour at the White House and then walked into the mall and took photos at the Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial and the Washington Monument. There is just so much to see and we hardly scratched the surface with all of the memorials and museums that are there in the area. It’s one of those things that I learned a long time ago that you don’t try to do it all in one day and you save something for the next time you come back! Hopefully it won’t be another 50 years in my case!!!!

Here’s a few of our photos from an afternoon spent at the Washington DC Mall.

Let’s all have a great week to come and thanks again for checking out our work!!!

Back to the beach!

Tuesday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

Jan and I got back last night from our massive East Coast road trip where we hit 11 states and over 3600 miles in the last two weeks. We were able to work in a little time away with a gig that we did while we were out there and that made things really nice. We’ve been pushing real hard for the last number of months and you can do that for awhile, but at some point you’ve just got to get away for a few days to recover and refresh. Needless to say after all of that driving, we’re happy to be back home and we’ll be rocking up to Thanksgiving!

One of the spots that we were able to visit and shoot some photos was Virginia Beach, Va. and Kitty Hawk, Nc. In Virginia Beach we shot photos along the beach and at Kitty Hawk, we went to the Wright Brothers National Memorial. It was incredibly interesting to see where man first flew a plane and what it took for the Wright Brothers to make that historical day happen!

Here’s a few of our photos from our time spent at Virginia Beach and Kitty Hawk.

We always appreciate your taking the time to check out our work and we hope that you have a great week to come!!!!

Spoon River College

Monday morning greetings to one and all!!!!

One of the video projects that we have been working on has finally gone on the air and we can share it with you today. Back in August we spent the day shooting video for our friends at Spoon River College in Canton, Il. We had a great day shooting with the weather and as you know that’s always a huge thing with me. It was one of the first days that the kids were back in school and everyone was happy to be back. The concept behind the commercial was to feature three different adults that had gone back to school and received their degrees and that’s a big market for colleges like SRC in today’s world. Besides shooting the interviews, we also shot some B roll video of some of the different activities going on at SRC to give a little taste of campus life. Besides shooting the video, we also did all the editing and the graphics work for this spot. I’m really proud of this commercial because we were able to do all of the production work ourselves.

Here’s the new commercial for Spoon River College!

We hope that you have a great week as always and thanks again for taking the time to check out our work!!!
