The first photographic images I remember making were of my friends. I may have made others, but these are the photos that I remember being first. It may be that these are also the earliest I have in my possession as prints and that helps me remember them, but regardless of them being the actual… Read more →

I posted some information about that change back then, but I thought it would be good to spotlight the change here on EventPicz.com Gear Talk. There are many options for photographs… Read more →
I have had people ask me, and I have asked others, about the waiting process to get just the right settings for a photograph. Some situations required one to wait for many hours to get just the right environment for a shot and other times they just seem to happen. It doesn’t hurt to be… Read more →
