City Lights Studio: April 2011

Apr 27, 2011

Hosting a super fabulous event tonight... get your butts to it!

Finally, a time and place to let it all hang out…your creative stuff that is. The Advertising Club of Buffalo, American Society of Media Photographers and WAM (Writers/Artists/Musicians) invite you to take part in something a little risqué. This is a free event, open to all, with live music by the Blue Collar Dreamers.

We know you have punchy photos and dangerous designs all too spicy for clients or the classroom that you’d love to unveil, and we want to see it. It’s the stuff that didn’t come from an assignment and wasn’t held back with rules and constraints. They’re the creative pieces you’ve been hiding in the dark. But the time has come to flaunt it if you’ve got it.

No redlines. No redesigns. No rounds. Just send it. We know you’re not a shy group, so come on Buffalo, show us your stuff!

Have Camera.... MUST Travel!

So, if you haven't figured it out yet, I absolutely LOVE to travel. Me & my camera are made for it. I totally lucked out this year & have had some epic travels, with plenty more coming up.

I'm really looking forward to working on a few personal projects over the next few months in some of the cities listed below, but am available for various shoots such as boudoirs, family portraits, model sessions, musician headshots & engagement/trash-the-dress photos. I would also love the opportunity to meet and work with other photographers outside of Buffalo. It's great to share, learn and get an inside view into other markets and niches.

I am starting to book travel dates for weddings & shoots in 2012. I'm always up for travel adventures with my camera so, whether you're a Buffalo bride planning a destination wedding who wants a local photographer to work with before & after your big day or a far-away client who likes our work and wants a big-city wedding with fine-art photography at Buffalo prices, City Lights Studio is up for the job!

04.11 | Puerto Rico | Viejo San Juan

On our last night, we headed back over to Puerto Rico to spend a night in Old San Juan. A definite change of pace from sleepy Vieques, Old San Juan still maintains the bright & peaceful feel of the little island. A small city center surrounded by water with narrow blue cobblestone streets, row houses expoding with color and incredible woodwork, and streets filled artisans and their work... I see many trips to this place in my future!
