Our New York Experience - By Keith
We just returned from our New York City trip. We were in Times Square for a seminar hosted by our album company GraphiStudio. They were basically promoting their new software, but we've been beta testing it for a while. When it came time for them to actually show how it worked, the presenters really didn't know it all that well. Katie kept having to raise her hand and explain things. Finally the audience insisted that Katie get up there and actually teach! It was so cool. It also got us in really good with the hosts from GraphiStudio and will strengthen our relationship with them going forward.
Does this not just look exactly like Katie's opening shot to her own Law and Order episode?
What a pain! We got there Sunday night and got a perfect spot, but had to move it by 11am Monday morning. We were lucky enough to get an even better spot across the street directly in front of the apartment - but had to move it again on Tuesday at 11 back to the other side. We heard the street cleaner going by so quickly put it back on the other side, but then saw the lady ticketing. We were told to sit in our car until 12:30 to ensure we don't get a ticket. How flippin' lame is that?!
Don't mess with the city birds. . .
I have no idea who those ladies are, but I've heard of this guy and know he's somewhat famous. Personally, I don't get it.
Yeah, my attempt at commercial photography.
So there's Katie up there teaching the class. She actually talked with the ladies from GraphiStudio and hopefully will have them referring album designs to us in the future. We're going to follow up and see if we can actually start marketting ourselves to photographers who just don't want to bother laying out albums. Hopefully it will generate a good amount of revenue for us going forward. With the support of GraphiStudio I know it will be big money.
While waiting for our table we had fun using available spot lights for some fun shots. Too dang-on cool, huh!
I don't usually like being in front of the lense, but I actually really like this shot a lot.
Too cool. . .
First shot of spinning the camera on a delayed exposure. I must have tried about 20 more and none came out good.
Total Gotham look.
Delayed exposures are really fun.
OK, I'm totally not the type of photographer that goes around taking pictures of old people sitting on the street, or of homeless people in black and white or anything. But, for some reason I really wanted a shot of this guy just standing there while the train went by. He doesn't know I got it. I hope this doesn't mean I'm turning into one of those artsy freaks.
Umm. . . this is at the end of Lisa's street. You'd never know it, but come on seriously - If I framed that on a nice wall in a man-cave with a nice accent light on it wouldn't you think it was worth a lot?!

I'd love to hear your feedback and comments. I'd also love and suggestions to help me perfect my skills as I develop them. Have a question? I'll try to answer it for you right away.
The only think I ask is that negativity not be posted. You know that old saying your mother probably taught you? "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all!"
