Even my meetings have been switched to Skype & FaceTime. Most current weddings into April have been canceled by venues and those brides and going to be looking for new dates and hopefully i’ll have your date later in the year open.

Dumb tricks that get photographers hired.

Dumb tricks that get photographers hired.

I don’t do bridal shows and I try and stay away from some of the practices of other photographers. If you’re going to make it in this business you can’t do the same exact thing every other photographer does. If we all used the same exact equipment, same “style” aka presets.. then we would be pretty hard to distinguish ourselves from the pack. Here’s some trends that I see and some of how I operate.

We're not going to get everything.

You're going to have your dream wedding, you've even selected what your wedding photos will look like via Pinterest, various wedding blogs and Google image searches. So you can have all of this but you may have to spend some time doing during your wedding. If you're getting married you'll want to read this. I'm writing this through my own personal experience.

LB Wheaton, Sigma 150-500

So if you're thinking about buying a lens or want to check out some cool equipment then head down to LB Wheaton. I stopped in and had no idea that I would be walking out with a super telephoto lens. Being able to hold it in my hands and experience it was enough to put me over the edge. Great experience at LB Wheaton.

So for this engagement shoot I thought we would shoot somewhere completely different, Green Hill Park in Worcester. I've only recently visited this park, seeing it from afar for my entire life. I was surprised to find it clean, spacious and welcoming. There is a small petting zoo, a Vietnam memorial, ponds, woods and picnic tables. We spent some time walking around and getting used to the process of having ones photo taken. Here's the photos.  #engagement #wedding #greenhillpark #worcester #unitymike

Fire in Worcester, 43 Bowdoin St & 40 Williams

Fire in Worcester, 43 Bowdoin St & 40 Williams

April 24th, 2014. Fire at Bowdoin Street and building behind house on Williams Street. I happened to be in my car with some equipment and headed over to get some photos. When I arrived and made  my way around the area to various angles I could see that the Worcester Fire Department had the fire well under control. Police blocked off the streets and neighbors watched. A few residents from the building were in the area and we're easy to spot. I wish them the best and hope family and friends can help them out like I was helped with my apartment fire a few years ago.
