Al Gore

Last night Aruba had the privilege to have Al Gore as guest speaker for Green Convention.
Aruba's government is pushing for the public to be more aware of our environment.  Simply start recycling you cans, bottles, paper etc.  This is great for our environment, we really need to be aware of our surroundings.  Just doing the simplest things around the can help.

Just cracked a smile!

This is my fav. Strong expression.

This convention also is bring people from around the world to teach the community how to become more efficient to protect our surroundings.  Also how we can use alternative energy such wind and sun which completely free to our benefit. 

Well I hope you can also help our environment so this earth could keep spinning in the right way  for the generations to come!

Cheers

Photo shoot Contest

I've been wanting to do something with just  regular person and give them the most awesome photo shoot of their lives.


So what I did was, I used my Facebook page and created a contest.

The contest is not about who has the prettiest picture on profile but who can get the most "Likes" on their picture.

A little promotion of course, but it's all about giving something I love to do back to the community.

Here is the link to see the participants.Feel free to vote for who ever you like!

Also very thankful to those helping making this project a success.

Cheers

WPPI Orlando

Just attended my first WPPI in Orlando!! It was very cool!!! Met some cool people around and got to see some read big people in this industry. Liana Lehman, Doug Gordon, Bruce Dorn, Amber Holritz, Garrett Nudd and finally the queen herself, Bambi Cantrell.  All the tips I learned from some of the best in the business is priceless.  There is a whole lot more that just taking the picture.  Wedding and portrait photography is a business that you have to take seriously 'cause you are capturing people emotion, their lives, their family, their special day which we have only one chance to shoot!  Being a part of their special moment is a honor to be part of.  I hope those that are reading this and want to become a wedding photographer understand the meaning of this.  If you don't, then don't go do it for the money 'cause you are just going to be greedy.

Cheers
