West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week
Coming to ya live straight out of Huntington Beach, California in Orange County is this week’s West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week. Have I got a treat for you!
If you remember back in January, I shared with you a song titled “Miracle” by Oceanlab & since then, I’ve been following an amazing podcast from Above & Beyond with their fantastic trance tunes with their collection; “Trance Around The World.” Well I found a killer song by Above & Beyond called Alone Tonight & I thought it is a great track to get your day going for this holiday week.
So typically I would say, sit back & enjoy your favourite morning beverage – but this week take a different stance. Jump up out of your chair, clap your hands above your head and start dancing right where you’re at celebrating your life, your gifts that you’ve been given and all the wonderful possibilities that lie before you on the path of your life.
Celebrate your life and have a great 4th of July holiday week – cheers!
Michael Jackson Has Passed Away
I wish I was writing you a note from my office in Huntington Beach with a happy story, but unfortunately I’m not. I really wanted to mark this moment in our history that a legend known to all corners of the earth has passed away at 2:26 p.m. Pacific today. Michael Jackson passed away today at the young age of 50 years old just a few weeks before he was to kick off his tour at the O2 arena in London.
Michael Jackson was an inspirational person to me from his music to his dancing moves as well. I learned how to moon walk watching his videos, learned so much from his music videos for my work in music and photography and now as of today, I will not be able to enjoy his artistry any more.
Regardless of the scandals and media hype that he endured from his childhood to today, he will be greatly missed here at Esquire Photography HQ. I hope that he is finally able to have some peace in his life and we’ll be praying for his family & friends around the world.
Myself having endured several near death experiences in my life, I know that life is precious and I hope that you recognize this as well. Appreciate what you’ve been given, where you’re at & the life that you have.
May you and your families and friends be blessed.

David Esquire Is Showcased At Pictage User Group In Long Beach, California
Good evening everyone! I’m coming to you live from Pacific Coast Highway and Warner in Huntington Beach, California at Esquire Photography HQ to share some cool news. I had the honour of presenting Esquire Photography at the Pictage User Group (PUG) in Long Beach to other photographers.
It was a smaller group tonight, but nonetheless – some fantastic people that I’m proud to say I shoot next to in the biz. There was Cassandra from Cassandra’s Elegant Photo Art, Heather from HBD Photography and Jeremy from Dodgen Photography. Along with the PUG host; Christine from CLS Photography who was kind enough to open her home with snacks, treats & decafe coffee.
I was able to share a bit about what I’ve done in my nearly 3 decade path in the photography industry, some ups & downs of what I’ve had and debuted the draft of a new promotional video that you’ll be able to see very soon.
Christine caught a few photos from the group and she even snapped one of me doing my best Blue Steel. Although I’m currently working on “Sparticus” – which I’ll probably drop on everyone very soon.
I hope you’re having a great West Coast Wednesday & stay tuned for some exciting news that is brewing about the London 2012 Olympics – cheers!
David & Kerry Geek Out On iTunes
Good afternoon everyone! I just got back in from the gym and got the word from Kerry that the podcast we recorded this week on iTunes from Huntington Beach and Tustin is live.
Over the past few weeks we both recently upgraded our camera bodies. Kerry upgraded from a 30D to a 50D and I traded in a couple of my 40Ds to a 5D Mk II. So in this episode we both “geek out” a bit and discuss the new cameras and some of the features that are not only dope to us, but help us produce even better killer photos for our clients.
If you’re interested in subscribing to the podcast, click the iTunes button below. We also recently celebrated our 1 Year Anniversary with the podcasts & gave away more than $6,000 in free prizes to our listeners.
I hope you’re having a great West Coast Wednesday & stay tuned for more exciting news coming up about the 2012 Olympics that I’m heading back home to London for – cheers!
West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week
Good morning from overcast Huntington Beach, Callifornia everyone! As I’m getting materials ready for the presentation I’m giving today at the Long Beach Pictage User’s Group (PUG), I had a song in my head that I wanted to share with you.
It’s by a group that crash landed on the scene in the early 80’s with a near perfect landing. In fact this goup was one of the few spearhead superstar teams that fronted the English Invasion in the 80’s.
The duet is Tears For Fears & this week’s song is Shout. I loved the original version and they recently did a tour with an orchestral group backing them up. So sit back, enjoy your morning beverage & here is Tears For Fears with this week’s West Coast Video Of The Week; Shout – cheers!
