Good morning from Huntington Beach California everyone!  I just had a few hours of sleep after doing a third grad night at The Orange County Wine & Food Center in Costa Mesa, California & it was totally a blast!

We spent a great night with nearly 400 students for their grad night and, even though we were shooting overnight until 5:00 a.m. – it went totally fast & the next thing we knew it was time to pack up.

There was well over 300 students at The Orange County Wine & Food Center that had everything you could imagine for their Grad Night.  There was a hypnotist, non-stop food & beverages, the dancers from the TV show; So You Think You Can Dance were here again (AWESOME!), henna tattoo artist, and a ton more.

Not to mention that my good friend Adam & his staff at The Orange County Wine & Food Center rocked it as always making sure every need was met for the students and they were well taken care of.

If you are ever considering a wedding, corporate party or any other type of event, you need to call Adam at The Orange County Wine & Food Center & your event will be one that you’ll thoroughly enjoy.

Have a super week and I’m off to get a little more rest (cha – not!) – cheers!

dojopodcast-61x140Good Morning Everyone!  As the midnight oil is burning, we’re doing our best to release this week’s podcast amidst both of our crazy calendars and with Kerry being sick with the flu this week.

So here we have it!  Straight out of Orange County in both Tustin and Huntington Beach, we are about to list the winners of more than $6,000 in products & services that we gave away for our 1 Year Anniversary Podcast episode on iTunes that was a celebration for our listeners on Camera Dojo.

We received several hundred entries we were totally stoked that we had tons of killer products and services to give away. Just to explain briefly how the names where chosen. The entries were numbered in reverse order of how they came in, then for each prize we used the random number generator at http://random.org  and asked if you return a number between 1 and 302 (number of valid entries). Then we matched the number with the info of the winner and viola – winners of some great prizes!

With all the technical details aside, here is the seemingly endless list of winners from our 1 Year Anniversary Podcast episode on iTunes:

Good morning from Southern California everyone! I know, I know… I was bad & missed last week’s West Coast Wednesday’s Video Of The Week. But it was only because I was experiencing higher education at my good friend Dane Sanders’ Fast Track Photographer Roadshow in San Diego with other fellow “Founders” and new members.

So because I missed last week, I’m bringing you a double feature by one of the most controversial artists of our generation; Ms. Britney Spears.  In fact, there’s an awesome clip of her Piece of Me video mixed into a video mix that I sweat to when I getting my slammin jammin fitness program on at the gym.

So without further ado, go ahead & chill out in your chair over your favourite morning beverage with a doubl feature of Britney Spears’ “Piece of Me” videos – cheers!

PS, the 2nd video is my favourite of the two, what do you think?!?

Good Morning Everyone! I am tackling my email inbox here in Huntington Beach and received an incredible email from Leah and Darrell about their Amazing Wedding I shot at the Diamond Bar Cultural Center in of course – you guessed it, Diamond Bar, California.

Check this out & I hope you’re having a great start to your week & stay tuned for more HUGE news on the horizon about London and the 2012 Olympics – cheers!

“Hi David!

On a mere 4 hours of sleep, I want to give you a huge resounding good afternoon from beautiful Huntington Beach California everyone!  I have to tell you that last night was one of the most fun overnight shoots we have had in a long time.

I’m sure you’re thinking it was a wedding, but not this time – we had a grad night at The White House Event Center in Anaheim.  And, even though we were shooting overnight until 5:00 a.m. – it went totally fast & the next thing we knew it was time to pack up.

There was well over 500 students at The White House that had everything you could imagine for their Grad Night.  There was a hypnotist, non-stop food & beverages, a pitching booth that was operated by Olympic Medalist; Laura Berg, dancers from the TV show; So You Think You Can Dance, henna tattoo artist, and a ton more.  Not to mention all the killer rides at The White House and DJ Eddie Boy COMPLETELY brought the house down in the West Wing.

If you are ever considering a wedding, corporate party or any other type of event, you need to call Kathy at The White House & your event will be one that you’ll thoroughly enjoy.

Have a super weekend – cheers!
