Wedding | Tanya & Jon

2009-07-28T00:24:00.005-05:00

I love the amazing colors from Tanya & Jon's wedding. The wedding was at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha. It was great working with everyone again- last year Andrew, Kameron and I shot Nisha & Joe's wedding (Tanya's sister).

Clean Dog

2009-07-27T21:14:00.001-05:00

Here are few favorites from LeeAnn and Bill's wedding from back in May. I was waiting for my new blog, but just couldn't wait any longer. It will be live soon, (I hope). More work to blog! Check out the stills + motion slideshow.

Excitement

Change is good so stay tuned...

Stills in Motion: Avery

Digital Flip Book | Avery from Geoff Johnson on Vimeo.

I keep getting asked to post more of photos of Avery. How about 300 of them put to motion by the talented Torchwerker, Jaime O'Bradovich.

Meet our son, Avery Gavin

2009-06-05T16:05:00.009-05:00

Well he's finally here! Avery Gavin was born on June 3rd coming in at 7.6 lbs, 20" long.

Here are a few images from the 900 I've shot so far. I figure I better get him use to working the camera from day one!

I'll be taking some time off over the next week, but any urgent matters you can still reach me.

Time to rest.

Oversized work

2009-05-22T11:04:00.003-05:00

Some recent work I shot for a local college and hospital. It's always fun to see it larger than life!

Big Omaha 2009

2009-05-08T00:59:00.006-05:00

Andrew and I are shooting BIG Omaha today and tomorrow. This conference is going to be off the charts!

We'll be uploading images throughout the day and they will be live right here! More to come. Be sure to refresh.

Lynn & Garrett: Phoenix, AZ

2009-04-29T21:59:00.006-05:00

This post is long overdue!

Lynn & Garrett's engagement shoot took place in sunny Arizona and they will be getting married at the Magnolia Hotel next month. The Magnolia is one of my favorites to shoot. Of course I had to bust out my Polaroid for a few frames!

LeeAnn in the studio

2009-04-24T20:01:00.004-05:00

A few samples from a recent bridal shoot I did in the studio. I'm looking forward to LeeAnn's wedding-just a few weeks away!

Tortola Behind the Scenes

2009-04-13T01:54:00.014-05:00

A few behind the scenes from our trip to Tortola. The video was all shot with the 5D Mark II. If I only had this new GunStock Rig for the shots from the boat.

Stephanie & Peter | Tortola, British Virgin Islands

2009-04-13T01:14:00.007-05:00

I'm finally getting around to posting some images from Stephanie & Peter's wedding at Surfsong Resort. Other than loosing one bag and getting locked out of our hotel the trip was awesome.

Be sure to check out the slideshow.

Honored Work

2009-04-10T12:57:00.003-05:00

I was honored to receive a few awards at PPA regional print competition. The image of pilot Logan Flood won first place in the non masters men's portrait. Last summer I photographed Logan and his family at their home in Seward, NE for AOPA Magazine. The story was about how he became a commercial pilot after being in an airplane crash with a cargo company he flew and instructed for. My Vintage Bride image of LeeAnn McClain won second place in the wedding category. Both of these images won a Fuji Masterpiece Award.

My overall score with other work placed me at 2nd for the state of Nebraska. You can see my entries in the gallery.

A few thank yous-
Kameron Bayne and Sarah Pfeiffer for pushing me to enter.
Kate Heller for all the magic post work.
Matt Larson for driving to UPS because I sent my prints to the wrong address.
Terry Winslow for connecting with Matt to get my prints in time for the deadline.

My Apple Experience

2009-04-02T00:48:00.013-05:00

About 3 weeks ago I started having issues with my MacBook Pro. I needed a new screen as you can see in the pic something major was wrong. I was also having issues with the fan running all the time and with the computer not sleeping it would get super hot.

My 1st stop, was the Apple Store. I explained everything that was up and felt good they would get it fixed. The downside I would be without it for 5 days. I ended up getting my computer back in about 3 and find out it's not fixed.

Apple sends me to a local repair shop for a new logic board. I get it back from them and again not fixed. Ugh! Back on the phone with Apple to find out I need to send it back to them for repair. This time my computer is gone for a full week and of course it's not fixed.

Finally after another hour on the phone I get elevated to "specialist". Because of all the issues and that I bought Apple Care they offered to replace my computer with a brand new one. They originally offered me the base model, but mine was the top of the line so I pushed to get the faster model. Apple Care will only cover an equal machine only, so their claim is the base is better than what I had. Pretty gray territory if you ask me. I spent $3500 back in 2006 for the top of the line and they replaced with a $2800 base model. They did allow me to upgrade to the faster processor and hard drive for $400. I passed at the $1000 upgrade on ram as OWC has a kit for $700 that I can do myself.

I guess for $349 Apple Care is worth it, especially on laptops. However, I do wish Apple would figure out a better way to communicate repairs from 3rd party or retail stores. Most of my time was wasted dealing with them!

Well my new one arrived today and now the joy of migrating. Mike told me about a great app called SuperDuper that works better than Time Machine on restores.

Foto Flo Workshop 2.0

2009-03-14T20:39:00.000-05:00

XMP, DNG, Presets, and Catalogs. AHHH. The crew of Malone & Co had their 2nd Lightroom Workshop last Sunday.

Pictured are Mike Malone, Chris Rich, Kerri Garrison, Julie Morris, Kameron Bayne, Geoff Johnson, Megan Nosbish, Ann Luchsinger, Sarah Pfeiffer, and Andrew Marinkovich. Also, not in the photo but attended is Cara Bresette-Yates, and the Torchwerkers.

It was great having everyone out. Don't forget to save your work!

Malcolm Gladwell

2009-03-12T20:44:00.001-05:00

Last week I had the chance to photograph Author Malcolm Gladwell. I'm a huge fan of his book The Tipping Point and have yet to read Blink or his latest Outliers.

Malcolm was in town for the YPC Summit as the Keynote Speaker. The crews of Malone & Co and Torchwerks were on set and I got the opportunity to snap a few portraits of him.

I wanted to go simple, so I took the Strobist approach. Most of the time I resort to a Large Chimera Octabank and Dynalites. This time it was 2 Canon 580 EX IIs and the all new Radio Poppers PXs, which worked awesome as I was able to shoot high speed flash sync to knock out the background. I can't wait to use these outside!

Great sunset

2009-02-24T10:37:00.003-06:00

Our last night on the islands before we head home. Here's a Fujiroid of my timelapse setup I shot at sunset.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

2009-02-22T09:18:00.004-06:00

Andrew and I finally made it here. We are now heading over to Surfsong on Beef Island for the days activities. Andrew has none of his clothes as the airline lost his bag. I will only say the airlines initials are "AA". It's supposed on a ferry, but we will be at the wedding so it will be tough to get.

Here's a time lapse from my room this morning. As you can tell it's beautiful here.
I will try to post some images from the wedding tomorrow.

On the road

2009-02-16T11:04:00.004-06:00

Thought I'd share this beautiful sunrise before I shot while waiting for my plane on Saturday.

Upcoming Travels

2009-02-05T23:19:00.005-06:00

I will be leaving in just over a week for about 10 days on the road. My first stop is Phoenix for an engagement session with Lynn and Garrett.

From there I head to Las Vegas for the WPPI convention. My first time attending was 9 years ago and hadn't been back since last year. It was so refreshing to see all the talent from many different types of photographers. I entered 6 images and 4 of them scored in the print competition. I entered again this year so we'll see what happens. Below is my page from the 2008 Annual Book. After a few days in Vegas, I head to Tortola for Peter & Stephanie's wedding.

Canon 5D Mark II Video

2008-12-20T10:34:00.004-06:00

Chicago: Jennie + Matt

2008-11-16T14:08:00.007-06:00

A while back I was in Chicago (my favorite US city) to shoot Jennie and Matt's engagement portraits. Check out their save-the-date that Jennie just sent me. I think it turned out awesome-nice work from Minted, a great place for paper products.

New York

2008-11-13T20:25:00.001-06:00

After the past few months on the road, my travels are finally slowing down.I have a couple more short road trips over the next week and then a break (finally). Recently Andrew, Mike and I headed out to NYC for PhotoPlus Expo. It was nice to see how the workflow at Malone & Co. (and GJP) are really in line with many of the top pros out there. Check out the gallery of images from the city here.

I need to give my client Peter and Stephanie a huge thanks for letting us crash at their place! Andrew and I will be heading to the British Virgin Islands in February to shoot their wedding.

Templeton Rye

2008-11-13T10:58:00.001-06:00

A few weeks ago while shooting in Iowa the locals told us about a distillery that was brought back to life from the prohibition era. We headed over to Templeton, home of Templeton Rye Whiskey where Kevin gave us a private tour. There is some cool history about this whiskey including that this was Al Capone's favorite. If you're ever in the area you should stop by and then go pick up "The Good Stuff".

Peter + Stephanie in Miami

2008-11-06T22:34:00.006-06:00

I've got so many shoots to post! Back in August I connected with Peter & Stephanie in Miami for an engagement shoot. Peter and Stephanie are getting married in February in the British Virgin Islands in which Andrew and I will be shooting their wedding.

New Camera

2008-10-07T17:50:00.005-05:00

So I'm going back to my roots and shooting some film. Yeah right, but I do love Polaroid. Too bad they're stopping film production soon. Check out Save Polaroid for some great info and links.

Andrew got me excited earlier this year with his Holgaroid. I bought one too and then while searching Ebay for film, I found a Polaroid Land Camera 350. It's Rangefinder that shoots pack film (full frame 3 1/4 x 4 1/4) that you can still find. There's even some 667 out there that's rated at ISO 3000. I can't wait to break this in on Saturday at the Wedding Event of the Year. There will be about 10 of us shooting and Andrew has made me the official media coordinator.

Humphrey, NE: Angela + Brent

2008-10-07T17:42:00.002-05:00

Myself along with Andrew Marinkovich and Ben Drickey came fully loaded to cover it all at Angela's wedding last week. Congrats to Brent and Angela- thanks for the great day! You are going to have plenty of images to look through!

Coach Carroll at USC

2008-10-07T17:26:00.003-05:00

This past June Lora Davis and I headed out to LA for a shoot at USC. The 8 minute session was a record for shortest amount of time allowed.

Check out the behind the scenes video over at Malone & Company.

Krazy Kids Day

2008-09-16T00:30:00.004-05:00

Last weekend I opened up the studio for Kids Day. We had a blast shooting while raising some money for Operation Smile. The images below were created using our homemade ring light. What fun!

We'll be having our next session in the spring of 2009. If you're interested please sign up here.

Something is coming

2008-09-12T19:45:00.005-05:00

All of us here at the studio are waiting for the full moon coming this Wednesday. There are many rumors speculating of something new from our friends at Canon. We're hoping this thread is correct. Did you read that part about the video?

Save a horse, ride a bull

2008-09-09T08:09:00.000-05:00

Last week I was shooting the nightlife scene at Legends in Kansas City. The Saddle Ranch comes to life with everyone wanting a ride on the mechanical bull.

Wedding: Kari + Brandon

2008-08-24T15:46:00.013-05:00

Two weeks ago we shot one of the most amazing weddings here in Omaha. Andrew Marinkovich and Alyssa Schukar assisted in the record shooting of 12,000 images. The amount of detail that went into this wedding was off the charts. Chicago's Gentlemen of Leisure Band was incredible-I've never seen the entire dance floor covered with everyone for the entire night.Be sure to check out the slideshow.

Meet your Surgery team

2008-08-20T15:05:00.000-05:00

Heather McCain, Lora Davis and myself have a little fun on the set while shooting in North Platte.

Kids Day

2008-08-17T23:06:00.001-05:00

Many of you know I only shoot weddings and commercial, but twice a year I offer portrait sessions to my close clients, friends and family. I call it Kids Day. I really have a lot of fun doing these, so I'm opening it up to anyone interested. My next session will be held September 6th. Click here to sign up.

I'm doing things a bit differently this time- I'm charging a $50 session fee which will go to Operation Smile. It's a really great cause!

Check out some kid-friendly images here.

Alabama & New Orleans

2008-08-09T08:12:00.002-05:00

Earlier this week Anne and I spent a few days in the south visiting my sister and brother-in-law. Our first stop was Fairhope, Alabama where I grabbed a few images from the local barber shop. We then headed over to New Orleans before coming home. I was pretty bummed out that A Gallery for Fine Photography was closed. This gallery in the French Quarter has one of the best photographic collections in the US including one of my favorite photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson. Of course we had to grab some beignets at Cafe du Monde. Check out the gallery of our journey.

Down South

2008-08-05T08:49:00.001-05:00

LeeAnn & Bill

2008-07-29T23:56:00.007-05:00

Thought I would share a few images from a recent shoot with LeeAnn and Bill. We captured a few out at Lake Zorinsky and then headed downtown for some street shooting.

ONE Magazine

2008-07-27T08:47:00.003-05:00

I shoot a good amount of editorial work with Malone & Company. Here's the ONE Magazine cover I shot of Architect Tom Allisma, who's worked on Roja, Blue, and Bianco. I shot the cover image at the new Parliament Pub in Legacy.

Taylor + Steve

2008-07-13T20:48:00.003-05:00

Yesterday had to be one of the nicest weather days I've experienced for a July wedding. It was perfect! Kameron Bayne helped me shoot Taylor and Steve's wedding at Saint Vincent de Paul with their reception at Champions Run here in Omaha. Click on the image to see the slideshow from the day.

Independence Day

Kristine & David's Slideshow

2008-06-17T02:21:00.005-05:00

Andrew and I photographed a great wedding this past weekend. The reception was at Happy Hollow Country Club, one of my favorites. Check out the slideshow.

Canon TV Commercial

2008-06-14T21:00:00.005-05:00

Check out this awesome TV commercial from Canon promoting the EOS Rebel XSi. This was shot with Canon EOS 1D Mark III's combining 70,000 images from 10 different angles. You can also see the behind the scenes here.

Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational

2008-06-08T22:19:00.007-05:00

This past weekend Malone & Company shot the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational. All the big names were there including six-time gold medalist Michael Phelps. Later this month Omaha will be hosting the Olympic Trials.

Here's a few images I captured during the 4 days of competition.Click on the image below for the gallery. Mike Malone rented the Canon 500mm which was awesome for getting those tight shots.

Old School

2008-06-06T04:53:00.009-05:00

After 5 years of not shooting any film products, I've gone back to film (kinda). Andrew Marinkovich showed me his Polaroid back for his Holga camera. I used to take my Holga everywhere with me and even dismantled one by removing the shutter so I could shoot at night. That was many years ago though. Since Polaroid stopped making type 80 films and are stopping all film production in 2009, it's really hard to find. After a few days of research I found some at Unsaleable, a company based in Austria. They have this really awesome Chocolate Film that has a sepia look to it. I even found this website called Save Polaroid which is kinda cool.

The idea is to shoot a series of 10 images at selected weddings (it's expensive since I'm buying in Euro) and then mount into a book for the couple. It's a cool thing to give them after shooting with them all day. Plus, since we're in the digital age with slideshows and blogs this is old school instant. Now my only problem is finding more Polaroid. I just ordered 15 packs of Viva Color which I can't wait to shoot with.

2 Weddings: Sara+Brian & Nisha+Joe

2008-05-27T11:03:00.011-05:00

My wedding shooting finally started this weekend with 2 amazing weddings. On Saturday Lara Adkins shot Sara & Brian's wedding with me. Lara brought along her extension tube for some really great macro images. It took me back to the 4x5 film days.

On Sunday, Andrew Markinkovich from Malone & Company along with Kameron Bayne from KBI photographed with me at Nisha & Joe's wedding. We hit a record amount of shooting with a total of 8000 images.

Let the editing begin!

Sara & Brian

Nisha & Joe

Perfect Storm

2008-05-07T22:35:00.004-05:00

Angela and I were shooting at Dana College through Malone & Company yesterday and had a rush session with some of the athletic teams. After a bit of scrambling to figure out what the look would be, we finally decided that portraits would be a better solution than action due to time. With the help of mother nature, the thunderstorm that was moving in offered a dramatic background for the soccer and football images we captured.

Missy & Andrew [Chicago]

2008-04-28T22:14:00.003-05:00

The past few weeks have been crazy and I've been meaning to post some images from a recent shoot in Chicago. Here's where I've been the past month: LA, Napa, Chicago, Iowa City,Home,Des Moines, and now I'm back on the road to Kearney, NE.

I scheduled my shoot with Missy and Andrew (they live in Chicago) a few months ago and booked a second shoot for a commercial client through Malone & Company.

Missy and Andrew gave me lots of time for the shoot. We shot most of the day and managed to get in some night shooting. The total tally was 34GB worth of images (I'm still editing). Along the way they treated me to lunch and a great dinner at A Mano.

Check out the gallery of a few favorites.

Napa

2008-04-17T00:02:00.007-05:00

Last weekend Anne along with Mike and Patty headed to Napa. Our reservations panned out at The French Laundry and wow, what a place. Many of you know that I'm a pretty plain when it comes to food, but I tried it all-including Caviar. I think my favorite was the lobster tail along with the 4 desserts! Last week was all about new food experiences-2 days before I tried sushi for the first time at Sushi Roku while shooting in LA.

Of course along our journey we hit many wineries. We went back to Niebaum-Coppola, now called Rubicon Estate. Anne and I were there 4 years ago.

Check out more images here!

April 2008

From our journey in 2004.

Baseball

2008-04-10T11:30:00.004-05:00

I've been on assignment this week at USC, University Hospital and got a chance to shoot these triplet baseball players. I love their shoes! Of course this image need to be tweaked just a bit, so I had to give it some "old school" magic.

Mike Malone was gracious to let me break in the new monster, Canon 1DS Mark III. At 22MP this camera can handle anything that comes our way.

Foto Cabina

2008-04-05T17:15:00.005-05:00

I meant to post this a while ago. Everywhere I went at WPPI there was a really hip photo booth, called Foto Cabina.

I'd love to see one of these at a wedding!

Below is Julie Morris from Grand Island and Shane and Erin Melenbacker from Kearney.

Las Vegas

2008-03-21T17:16:00.003-05:00

I just got back from WPPI in Las Vegas and will post more images. Here's a couple images from the spectacular sunrise yesterday morning while flying from Vegas to Phoenix.

Don't Steal.

2008-03-21T15:54:00.003-05:00

A few months ago Donovan Beery, designer at Eleven 19 Communications told me that the image I shot for AIGA "voting is sexy poster" was being used in Albania. The image was stolen from the AIGA website and changed in Photoshop to be used in a vote campaign for an organization called MJAFT.

After many months of negotiating the usage, we finally reached a settlement. No I didn't make a million bucks, but they paid a fair usage for the image.

Remember it's not cool to steal work by any artist.

Lightroom Workshop [Fotoflo]

2008-02-11T18:03:00.000-06:00

This past weekend Malone & Company photographers Mike Malone, Geoff Johnson and Andrew Marinkovich hosted a workshop on how we flow here. We call it Fotoflo. Many thanks to all that attended-Shane and Erin Melenbacker, Lara Adkins, Megan Nosbish, Stacie Kinney, Ann Luchsinger, and OPS high school student Marty Lastovica.

Double thanks to our assistant Sam Carter who kept us on track throughout the day.

2008-01-06T00:40:00.000-06:00

I'm really excited about the latest issue of Wedding Essentials as one of my images was chosen for the cover. The portrait of Jenny was shot in Lincoln in June 2007.

As we start the new year I wanted to take a look back at my favorite images from 2007. Many thanks to my team who shot with me this year. Check out the gallery here.

Here are some of my favorite sites with awesome images from 2007:

Time Year in Pictures

Reuters Pictures of the Year

Taylor & Steve | St. Louis

2007-11-05T09:28:00.000-06:00

This weekend I shot portraits of Taylor and Steve in St. Louis. Both of them went to college there and we figured it would be a great place to shoot. We shot at St. Louis University, Forest Park, and finished up after lunch at McGurks Irish Pub. The highlight of the shoot was at the BoatHouse in Forest Park. Check out some more images in the gallery.

Erin & Jeremy's Wedding

2007-10-15T12:31:00.000-05:00

Andrew and I shot Erin & Jeremy's wedding on Friday and it was fantastic. The wedding was at the Magnolia Hotel and thought I would share a few images from the day. This was my 2nd Joekel family wedding and we have such blast working with them. Be sure to check out the slideshow.

New Pictage Interface

2007-10-09T21:22:00.001-05:00

Pictage has finally released the all new interface for my clients. This has been a year-long process and I think you will all love it.

Just returned from a little trip to Chicago with the Malone & Comapny crew. Our journey included a trip to the Chicago Art Institute where we saw some work from 2 photographers Jeff Wall and Richard Misrach.

Gare de Lyon

2007-07-23T08:52:00.000-05:00

Throughout our journey we have traveled through many train stations. Gare de Lyon in Paris is incredible and of course I had to shoot it. This image is actually a combination of 2 images stitched together. It gives you a sense of how large the station is.

The French Riviera in color

2007-07-21T12:48:00.000-05:00

Bastille Day

2007-07-16T11:23:00.000-05:00

Saturday was Bastille Day in France, which marks the storming of the Bastille, or prison, by the revolutionaries. It is France's national holiday and we celebrated with about 3 million people near the Eiffel Tower. As you'll see in the gallery, the Metro wasn't the easiest form of transportation that night!

Paris

We left Paris yesterday for Nice and we'll be here until Sunday. Here are a few images from from Paris.
