Deja vu…..All Over Again!
My Wedding Shooting Philosophy has always been…”When something works…USE IT!”
So once again a few weeks ago, I found myself at this Classic location, with my Wedding Guys for this Cool Shot! What made this shoot doubly neat, or more accurately “more Quadruple-y Neat” is the fact that FOUR of the guys appear in BOTH Images!
in 2014 was Jon & Katie’s Wedding…..and this year 2017 we were back for Greg & Ashley’s Big Day.
With this gang…I have a good feeling we’ll all be back here again!

Political Vandalism Strikes the 211 Studio!!
Back in September of this year I posted a Blog/Pix detailing my latest creative Art Project that I was working on here at the 211 Studio. It was a Reproduction of some Tired, Old, Weathered, Rusty Iron RR Bridge Girders from the 1800’s, that I installed as the middle archway of my Client Lounge/Meeting area. So with the turn of events over the last month, it was just a matter of time before some new, creative Political Graffiti would make it’s appearance on ‘The Bridge”, and here it is! I can’t wait to try it out for real on a full size Bridge or RR Boxcar very soon!!!

I Just SEE Things…
Just another example of some of the things that I happen to SEE, things that catch my eye as I am shooting a Wedding. During the Ceremony, over the Maid of Honor’s Shoulder, the Colors, Form & Light just caught my eye as well as my Imagination for this unique shot.
And Then…..there are The Hands in that Momentary Burst of Sunlight…almost like the Sun was Spotlighting the Awesome Moment that was taking place in the room.
THESE things are what my Clients Love!

211 Studio Rivets & Rust
For years I’ve always loved the great look of ancient, old Rusted Iron Railroad Bridges. That Rust combined with Millions of Hand Set Rivets, Pounded into place well over 100 years ago. I’ve used my favorite bridge for numerous photo shoots (first 2 pics), and recently I’ve noticed on the newly renovated MSNBC Studios Set, where they now have exposed some of the very same structural Beams & Girders, and you now frequently see them in the background of the newsroom. That gave me an idea…. I always like to try to push & expand my artistic abilities, so here’s the latest in my ongoing Studio Personalization.
This is my Client Lounge, where I meet with Clients & chat about their Weddings or Portrait Shoots. What was once just a plain wallboard separation between these two sections of the room, they are now part of my very own rusty old tribute to these great old structures.
I then thought….whats an old beat up bridge in the middle of nowhere, without some Graffiti? So I thought for a bit and added a few select, important, recognizable symbols & lettering that were common & meaningful during my lifetime, and THAT really brought this thing to life! Pretty cool, isn’t it??? GET OFF THE TRACKS! HERE COMES THE TRAIN!”

Our Attention is….Riveted
I always love the look of this old Railroad Bridge, and what’s cool too is knowing that my Grand Dad worked for the very same D. L. & W. Railroad that built & used this bridge.
Soft & Pretty + Old, Iron & Rusty = Always a Winner!
