Good Morning Everyone!  Last night when I was leaving Michelle & Gabriel’s home in Long Beach after getting their wedding on the books for September this year, I had a chat with Kerry on the phone about paying attention to details.  The idea came to me out of something that a colleague of mine did & I thought we should do a podcast about it.

But! with all the guests that we have in the pipeline for our podcast, we knew it wouldn’t work & then we both thought about doing a video cast for our listeners.  We figured what the heck.  I’m already on the road, I’ve got my fancy-schmancy Union Jack Flip HD camera with me & let’s give it a go.  By the time I got to our studio in Irvine, Kerry had the lighting already set up ready to do the video cast.

Along with our regular podcast we host on iTunes, we are thinking about trying out our hand with some videocasts. In this episode, we discuss paying attention to details. This covers your material, to your work, to working with other vendors, and more.

One of the things mentioned was to use checklists, if you missed an article we did from the past, here is a LINK to it.

Please leave comments about what you think and let us know if you would like to see more of these video segments.  AND! If you really do enjoy them like this or would like to also see them in iTunes, let us know & we’ll get them into iTunes.

Have a super West Coast Wednesday – cheers!

Now that was the “serious” side of me & Kerry. So… for a special treat – here’s what it’s really like in our world…

Good Morning Everyone!  Here’s the first West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week for February coming to you live from sunny Huntington Beach California deep in the Orange County hood and it’s from Seal.

I first got hooked on Seal back in the 90’s when I was up in Portland at the club Front Street with his hit; “Crazy” and since then he’s released many hits that I’ve totally enjoyed.

Seal’s most recent hit is “Amazing” and I love the theme that goes with it for this year’s positivity tour.  So sit back, take a sip of your favourite morning beverage and enjoy the next 3 minutes with Seal’s West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week.

Cheers!

Good Morning Everyone!  Last night, I sat in my office in Huntington Beach with Kerry at his Irvine office to chat with Scarlett Lillian in Florida about her upcoming workshop at WPPI.

Scarlett is doing something special giving photographers that are going to be in Las Vegas during the WPPI conference an opportunity to join her and a small group of about 15 other shooters for a nighttime photo walk.

Scarlett has coordinated a bride and groom shoot in Las Vegas where you can learn some new techniques for shooting couples and for low-light situations.

If you would like to try to win a free spot or register to go to the workshop, check out the contest at Scarlett’s website at http://scarlettlillian.net.  But hurry because she’s only accepting a small number of photographers!

You can also subscribe to the podcast on iTunes by clicking the link below.  But if you do, you’ll need to leave us some comments & 5 star reviews.  Wink Wink!

I hope your Baby Friday is off to a great start – cheers!
