Hong Kong and Yunnan, China

It’s a diverse area, sharing borders with Tibet, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos. I got to see a lot of spectacular things, sweeping views and slices of daily […]

The difference between a headshot and portrait?

A portrait, on the other hand, includes more of the body, an expression/portrayal of the individual’s personality within their environment, and allows for more artistic […]

Orange Photography Wedding Collage

Andria was playing around with Picasa’s Photo Collage Maker today and created these super colleges. A great idea for posting images from your personal projects. We also think this mosaic would be a fun way to showcase photobooth images from events or parties. Check out our photobooth collage from Molly & Brian’s Makin Whoopie Fundraiser we sponsored this past Sunday, which is featured in the […]

Firefox & Nokia are heading your way

We all enjoyed the in-studio shoot last week for Firefox mobile’s Press Reviewers Guide. (You’ll notice the screens are still blank with these shots as Firefox will eventually be overlaying their own screen shots.)

Everyone is stoked about Firefox Mobile 3.6 and using it with Nokia’s new N900. It seems the N900 is already a big hit with the European market and is proving to be serious […]
