I was away from my post for a bit and denied all of my loyal readers a glimpse into the wild and wacky world that is tomas flint. So here's a breakdown of how it all went down...
1st - WPPI. Huge Tradeshow/Convention/Seminar Series/Networking Event/Party in Vegas. It's held annually so if you're in the industry, i recommend it as a 'must do'. Check out WPPI Online for details. Spent 4 days strengthening bonds, forging new friendships and drawing inspiration from anything and everything represented. Photography is so freekin cool...sometimes I can't believe it!! We did manage to set the indoor 'jam into a photobooth' record while we were there. This was a crowning achievement for all of us involved. Many thanks to Tiffany Aicklen for scanning and sending this over.
Tiffany and I attended a Mike Colon Seminar together in February and I swear, she is not only one of the most talented photographers on the planet, she is one of the finest people I have ever met. So blessed by your energy Tiff. Reunion in the plans...Fall/Winter '07. Get fired up!!
2nd - I got home early Friday morning and had to hustle to Buffalo to claim my front row ticket the greatest show in live music today - The Decemberists. Seriously amazing...life altering really. I managed to sneak my camera and a few lenses in and fired off nearly 700 pics. I love shooting live music. Especially since I was hanging on every note...every kick drum. I'm a little behind in my workload right now...but will be sure to post those images as soon as I can give them a little attention. Remember, you can sign up with my feedblitz registration box along the right hand side. I won't spam, just send over a quick reminder when new posts are available.
...in other news...
just put the finishing touches on CD designs for two bands whom I admire greatly.
The Buddhahood is reissuing their 2006 masterpiece..."muddy roots".
The Buddhahood has an energy and sound all of it's own. If you EVER get a chance to check them out live, DO IT!
The other CD is "Life in a Glass House" by the Upstate New York soon-to-be next big thing...Coersion. These guys are really onto something. The audio on the CD blew me away!! Here's the visual i came up with for the front cover...
Thanks for trusting me with those projects guys!! I loved working on them.
Other than that, I've been working overtime to tweak my workflow. I'm beginning to incorporate Adobe Lightroom into the front end of my processing and it's now clear that this is what i've been missing. Thanks to all you guys who took the time with me in Vegas to explain your workflow and offer suggestions on tweaking mine. Posts forthcoming
I hope this finds you all well,
