Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast in Bulverde!

2011-04-10T14:10:00.000-07:00

Discovered this gorgeous outdoor wedding venue in the Hill Country, with affordable all-inclusive packages. Shady wedding venue on five acres, with gazebo and great low prices for weddings up to 250 guests. Minutes from San Antonio. Full yet inexpensive wedding packages include tables, chairs, bartender, minister, DJ, catering, cakes and more... starting at only $4,500. See http://www.hillcountryvenue.com/

Here is one of the reviews from a recent Bride that experienced Twelve Oaks for herself.

"Sally"
I would just like to express my thanks on Michael's and my behalf. You and your staff were truly a God send. From our first meeting you made us feel like family. Our experience with 12 Oaks has been nothing but wonderful. Everything came together effortlessly and looked beautiful and just how I had imagined. Thank You so much Sally for making my vision of our day come true. You, your staff and 12 Oaks hold a very special place in our hearts..."

New Book "Off-Camera Flash" by Neil van Niekerk

2011-01-27T14:07:00.000-08:00

There is a new book coming out in April called "Off-Camera Flash" written by Neil van Niekerk. For those of you that aren't familiar with him, I highly recommend you become more familiar with his work. I've been following his blog for over a year now and I've really learned ALOT. If you'd like to see for yourself, click the link below and start reading. http://neilvn.com/tangents/

So back to his latest release. As I said its coming out in April and if its anywhere near his other book you'll want one for yourself. If you're interested in pre ordering your book now, click below.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1608952789?ie=UTF8&tag=planeneilphot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1608952789

I'm really looking forward to reading it for myself, I'm sure it'll be a wonderful read and very informative.

Imaging USA in San Antonio!!!!!!

2011-01-27T13:53:00.000-08:00

I know this is a little late but what can I say, I have a life :-) I'm kidding. So anyway, I went to my first Imaging USA this year which was in San Antonio and really enjoyed myself. If you dont know what I'm talking about you can go here and see what its about for yourself. http://imagingusa.org/ So while I was there with my good friend Joe and his wife Viola we came to a booth that was selling small softboxes for strobes. I've always wanted one but well I'm kinda frugal and they've always been out of my price ranges. The Morris Company had their 12x16 softboxes there on sale for $65, stop the press!!!!!!!! Their rate currently online is $74 for this softbox, you can check it out here if you'd like one. http://www.themorriscompany.com/Lighting%20Tools/softboxes.html
So what can I say about it. Its really simple to put together, its well made and even though I've only used it twice I love the lighting. I'm really looking forward to taking it outdoors and using in for on location shooting. So if you're in the market for a great softbox even at the current rate of $74 online, you can't beat it.

Adidas Hired Me. How cool is that?

2011-01-20T06:02:00.000-08:00

The first day I was asked to come out and take pictures
of teens trying on the new product line of cleats for Adidas.
It was a great day, but the 2nd day was fabulous. C.J. Spiller
with the Buffalo Bills was there to talk to the kids about the
new product line and his rise to fame. What a great guy, it
truly was a pleasure meeting him and having the opportunity to
photograph the days events. Enjoy the pictures everyone.

The PKD Foundation’s Mission Statement is to promote programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness in order to discover treatments and a cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease and improve the lives of all it affects The Walk for PKD is the signature fundraiser event for the PKD Foundation. Few have heard of this disease. The PKD Foundation homepage: http://www.pkdcure.org/

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic diseases, affecting 600,000 Americans and 12.5 million people, worldwide. ADPKD affects more people than Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and sickle cell anemia combined.

Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder, occurring in approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals. It affects boys and girls equally and often causes significant mortality in the first month of life. If the child survives the newborn period, the chances of survival are good. For these children, approximately one-third will need dialysis or transplantation by the age of 10.

No registration fee; $100 raised earns a tee shirt;
Activities for children (under 12) include “Penny Dash”
