I went to Prescott, AZ last weekend and mixed business with pleasure… I did a couple photo shoots that you will be seeing more of soon. I did post a couple iPhone photos of one of the locations here and here. I also went on a hike on Mingus Mountain! I posted some photos from the hike this week.
 
I had a deep thought on Monday morning that I asked you guys about… When you look at a photo, do you look for what’s right, or do you look for what’s wrong? I read lots of answers that I thought were interesting. Later in the week, I confided in my VIPs how I feel about the question.
 
I purchased an iPhone 5s last week and I posted a couple videos about the new models this week. One was a quick unboxing of my new 5s. I got my hands on a 5c this week as well, so I compared the two models in a video.
 
I showed off my new R2D2 hoodie in a video. Yes, I said R2D2 hoodie.
 
The SnapChick Friday Morning Rewind was from September of 2011. It was a super colorful shoot where I was experimenting with filters in post-processing.

Let’s talk about what I did this week…

I posted my review of the Canon Pixma Pro-100 inkjet photo printer. I purchased this printer here …and my favorite paper here.
 
I talked about photo contests and photos of the day, and the possible implications in submitting your work to them in a video called Your Images, Photo Contests, and the Fine Print.
 
Which DSLR is best for you? I answered in a Question of the Day video.
 
I also answered a VIP Question of the Day, about whether or not to provide unretouched digital images to a wedding client.
 
Nikon announced a new addition to their 1 Series! It’s called the AW1 and it’s a waterproof mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. I talked about my first impressions of it in a video.
 
The SnapChick Friday Morning Rewind was from a shoot from 2010, where I used natural light for a monochrome boudoir session.

I also took you on a tour of my studio lighting setups in a video. I talked about my different types of lighting and showed you some photos taken using each type of light. For VIPs, there is also a gallery of images and a video where I talked to them a little more about the setups for those photos. I’ll be posting individual videos for each of the lighting types in the coming weeks too!

Questions about my hair are more common than you might think so I posted a retrospective of my hairstyles through the years.
 
I answered a VIP’s question about shooting stained glass and the surroundings in a VIP-only Question of the Day video.
