Epic Adventure v2.0?

Since our bags were already packed and sitting by the door, we couldn't let a little storm like Matthew prevent us from taking a trip over 6 months in the making, could we?
Of course not!  Through some very careful juggling of remaining vacation time at the phone factory, Bob was able to put together November 3-20th. While working to restore the phone, TV, and internet service to those affected by Matthew, Julie worked her magic and together they have in less than 3 weeks time made the necessary home repairs after the storm, put in almost 200 hours at AT&T, and managed to book a completely new itinerary.

Due to the proprietary nature of the trip (read as "Julie wants to surprise everyone") we are unable to disclose the details at this time.  Pay close attention to our Facebook pages though.  We are dropping a few subtle hints here and there, and will be posting photos and updates once we are under way.  I (Bob) will tell you that most every location we will be shooting will be places neither of us have been to before, and that we are still hoping to get many of those "Bucket List" shots and videos that are on most photographers' lists.

So make sure you let us know of anything that you think is worthy of attention once we have started.  We have planned a fairly loose itenerary due to the nature of our work - so special unknown to the general public sights and locations are always welcome suggestions.  We will be checking our messages, emails, and as possible our Facebook pages.  We are hoping to update the website as well once or twice, but can make no promises due to intermittent internet availability during our excursion.

By the way, what exactly is a skoda?

The 2019 WPPI Photo Expo, Revisited...

Image
The 2019 Wedding and Portrait Photographer Expo in Las Vegas is now behind us.  Two and a half days of non-stop opportunities to gain knowledge and networking with professionals and avid hobbyists is a description that could be given to summarize the event. That would be an extremely short sighted statement that barely touches the surface of an event like this.  All of the major equipment manufacturers of cameras and lenses, as well as major vendors and accessories have large displays, live seminars, and plenty of equipment for you to hold, shoot, and experience unlike anywhere else you could imagine. As if that is not enough, consider that you are given many opportunities to take photos of models that are there for your use.  Weddings, portraits, family portraits, wedding receptions, all set up with their own studios just for you! And after three days of miles of aimless wandering, you might want to change shirts, they make sure you have something clean to wear by handin

Photography Guru Millionaire?

What is a Guru? Fair question!  According to Google, gu·ru    ˈɡo͝oro͞o/ noun (in Hinduism and Buddhism) a spiritual teacher, especially one who imparts initiation. synonyms: spiritual teacher, teacher, tutor, sage, mentor, spiritual leader, leader, master;  swami, maharishi "a Hindu guru and mystic" each of the ten first leaders of the Sikh religion. an influential teacher or popular expert. synonyms:  expert, authority, pundit, leading light, master, specialist;                      informal whiz "a management guru" Okay, so a photography guru must be a Master of Photography? That makes sense to me.  Apparently, it also makes sense on the website  GuruShots .  Here's how they describe themselves - GuruShots is a platform for people who love taking photos.  It’s fun, motivating and helps you improve Started just over 4 years ago, they set out with the following Core Beliefs - ANYONE CAN TAKE

One House and Two Photography Gurus!

Image
The last half of 2017 brought many challenges, but getting everything back on track for 2018 was the plan.  As many of you know, Julie Everhart, my wife, and I have been competing on Gurushots for almost 4 years,  We actually got involved with their third challenge, and each began building portfolios of highly competitive photos. Beginning in December of 2016, Gurushots began holding exhibitions in various major cities around the world.  Both Julie and I were chosen to provide a photo in the first exhibition, and have both been seen in print and digitally in exhibitions all over the world.  At the time of this writing, we are both currently being shown in Belgrade, Serbia during a "Nightlife" exhibit. Julie competed hard and fast, and worked her way up to the rank of Guru, the highest honor on the site, over 2 years ago.  Since joining, we have both won competitions, been published in numerous articles, and seen many exhibitions. This past month has brought
