New Update: Contests and such

Hello all!

First of all let me say that we have had an amazing first month. Terrific support from friends and a slew of new clients we are eager to work with.

I also wanted to thank those people who helped me in a contest I entered sponsored by Pop Photo magazine. Those who allowed me to take their photo, help out on the set, or generally gave great feedback and support I thank you. Click Here for the contest homepage.

I've put my entries on my Flickr page since they are a little hard to find on the contest site:

Grand Opening !

Wow. The Grand Opening of Studio Two Eleven. I can hardly believe I am writing such a statement. I've dreamed of this day for so long it seems impossible that it is finally here. Now I know that all things are possible.
This is an incredible adventure for me. I hope that the photographic endeavors we undertake in the near and not so distant future will bring visual joy to many people. As much joy as it brings to me to convey it to you.

I have so many people to thank for this day:
Mom - my Mom - for unwavering love and support all my life! I Love You!
Camille - my sister - for constant inspiration, dedication and supportation (I had to do it. LOL)
Darrel - my best friend - for just the right words at just the right times
Kai Cai - super talented, multifaceted designer and stylist - for consistent support and great friendship
Stan Demoss - exceptional chef - for priceless friendship and the best food ANYWHERE
S. Julian - my biz partner and rock star photog - for sharing your talent and support of Studio Two Eleven
Norman Gilbert - Photog Extraordinaire - for access to our new space and continued support and mentoring
Jake Morrow - Photog Extraordinaire II - for stirring up my creative juices and showing me new photographic possibilities

Many thanks to a host of friends and family who gave, called, wrote and stopped by our grand opening festivities. We had a great time with our "Photo Booth" (thanks Jake!) as you will see from the photos. Much more to come!
