Last Tuesday I got the opportunity to photograph the next great conductor of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra.

Olivier Ochanine

You can see his website here!


You'll be seeing more of Olivier in the future when the concerts begin!

090409 Seiberts, Great People I Know!


This weekend my wife and I visited "the Seiberts."
In Georgetown, Kentucky.
This is Andy trying his best to look awesome in front of his new truck.

And Jamie, being angelic.

These are two of their horses.

They are also avid bowlers and great people.



You may think that this portrait alone would qualify Seiberts of all types into the category "Great," but that is only the tip of the iceberg. You've seen him before here.



And this in no way leads me to the next part of this post that exploits a long history of... well.... breakin stuff.


090409 Columbus

If you have to go to Columbus for business, don't forget to take some pictures along the way.




082009 Terri Viltrakis

This shoot is the counterpart to mine from last week.

I love my wife.

These were the dual 580EXII setup I was talking about in the email Linda!!!

Mmmmmm music.

082709 Class? Nope!

The intention last Thursday was to hold another photography class for those who wanted it but alas, everyone was busy... so I went out with my beautiful wife, Danny, and Zak.
We set out and were obstructed by the fact that the whole of Cincinnati was having a party!




We ended up in Mt Adams and just ate dinner. It was still a good time.

081809 Fly? What is this thing?

Anyone know what this crazy thing is?

It was hangin' on my good knives.

082209 Ford-Ellington Wedding

Taking a break from toting a camera around for 12 hours straight on a wedding day I helped award winning greater Cincinnati area event design specialists, Ford-Ellington, set up a magnificent wedding at the Manor House in Mason Ohio last weekend.

This is a little boutonniere-ish arrangement I made for Terri from scraps.

It's no wonder I became a photographer.


I actually used to work for Ford-Ellington about 10 years ago.
I think it was the consistently best job I ever had. Everyone there was a pleasure to work with.
Absolutely wonderful people!

Kevin from Ford-Ellington is the reason I am a successful photographer today! He actually introduced me to David Ziser. An event for which I am greatly thankful!

This was a new style arrangement I was really fond of.

I believe this arrangement was created by the fantastically talented Laura!

Ford-Ellington Event Design is more than just "flowers." They provide total event co-ordination that creates not only astoundingly comprehensive attention to detail on your special day, but a peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are in the care of amazing people that know how to make your dreams come true!

If you have an event any time in the future you now know who to call!

082809 Connor Highschool!

I got to speak to one of the fine art classes at Connor high school in Kentucky this friday.
This is what everyone looked like at 7 am.
And this is what I looked like.

Just kidding. Seriously it was a pretty good time for being so early in the morning.

082009 Back Yard

Terri and I got to hang out in the backyard the other day.
Quite a rare treat now-a-days.
