Exciting Times

I haven't blogged in a while, sorry everyone. We are in the thick of the our busiest time, so it has been tough to find the time to sit down and write. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. We just relaxed at home which was a welcomed change of pace.

Just got back from a 30 mile bike ride and have been putting in some miles lately in the early morning or evenings. We rode from Wallingford to New Haven up to the top of East Rock and back again. Feels great to be pushing myself athletically.

There is so much going on at work with weddings every weekend and portrait sessions all day everyday Tuesday - Friday that life is a little crazy right now. It can be hard to find the balance when you are booked out weeks in advance and the phone keeps ringing. We are so blessed and thankful for that of course! Thank you all for honoring us and allowing us to photograph your histories. Also thank you for your patience. Sometimes it may take a couple of weeks notice to get in to meet with us, but we take pride in the fact that we always make personal time for each and every client. That is what working with an artist is all about. And I would think it is better to work with an artist that is in demand than not.

We are so excited about so many creative ideas and continue to push the creative envelope as hard as we can. We purchased two brand new Canon XH-A1 HD video cameras and are filming all sorts of things in HD now. It is hard to explain the integrity of the footage we are creating when viewed on a 1080P television. It's stunning to say the least. We'll be making some website changes with new footage soon and are developing new visual products that mix the medias of photography, design, sound, motion graphics, and HD video together. All of this is starting to unveil as we cross the divide into becoming Maring Media. We are a very progressive company that loves change and keeping on top of the media blend is very important for serious photographers and visual artists. Mixed media is where it's at. With all the change surrounding the photography / Video blend, it's Exciting times!

I got a new IPhone. Ordered the 8 Gig version online and had it in two days. I have to say, it is much better than I expected. I figured that it would be missing at least something, but it more then met my expectations. The only feature that I am hoping comes soon is the ability to view Adobe Flash content which isn't in the web browser part of the phone now. But I have heard that it will have it soon.

That's about it other than working hard and spending countless hours working on images in front of the computer. Looking forward to seeing many of you soon...
