NYC Marathon from a Runner's Point of View

Local Philadelphia photographer Scott Spitzer loves to take pictures, and only "likes" running, but combined the two yesterday when he ran the NYC Marathon yesterday. I asked him why he brought his camera along (just a point and shoot btw), and his response was:

I wanted to share the experience of the run with those that did not run it. I wanted the viewer to be transposed into my shoes, see what I saw and feel the energy and devotion of the fans watching.

That's what photography is all about, and for the record, I "ran" the race in 5hrs 46mins, in my transposed reality. Check out Scott's Photos.

And We're Back (and married)

I posted on Twitter a while ago about what I've been up to. The short of it, at least. The medium of it, goes something like this.

On July 13th, 2008, my fiance and I took our vows and were married in an art gallery (The Print Center). It's exhibit during our wedding was the 82nd Annual International Competition: Photography. The wedding could not have gone better and the few photographs we've seen so far from our photographer made us really happy.

The next morning, our plane took off from Philadelphia International Airport at 5:30 am, for San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where we were originally going to get a bus to Copan. However, a few days prior to leaving we decided to instead go straight to Roatan and spend the 3 days originally allotted for Copan at a tiny bed and breakfast, Sante Wellness Center. Our stay there was amazing. We then proceeded to Half Moon Bay/West End on Roatan where we found peace and comfort for the remainder of our trip.

My wife and I both took pictures (mine) (hers).

The trip was lots of fun and when we got back, I got sick. At first I thought it was malaria, and then dengue fever, but I was never diagnosed with either and seemed to the doctor, to be just some random thing I picked up along the way home.

Philadelphia Trash the Dress

Brides in Philadelphia that are looking to do a Trash the Dress session, might wanna take a look at the work of Allebach Photography in Philadelphia. They have more examples of their work on their blog, but I have a feeling they haven't done an "extreme" session yet with total dress trashing. Oh, and they really liked tattooed brides.

Scott Spitzer Photography

Philadelphia Photographer, Scott Spitzer is a co-worker at my new job. He's got a good portfolio online to check out, and is someone who will get his brain picked more than once while I'm working with him for sure.

BH Photo Sponsored Events

When BH Photo Video isn't serving up orders, or helping it's customers on 9th Ave, it's sponsoring seminars, and sending emails out to all it's customers regarding them. They aren't just in New York, and there happens to be one in Philadelphia on April 15th, a date I won't actually be in Philadelphia.

This particular seminar,Travel Photography in the Digital World, will "Unravel the mysteries of digital photography with Ralph Lee Hopkins and Bob Krist." Looks interesting to me, and probably would have been helpful for my upcoming trip to Belize from April 1st - 8th. It's always a timing issue.
