Good morning friends! I'm so happy with all the responses and emails I've been getting from all of you. Please know that I read them all. I laugh and sometimes cry at your kind blessings for me. I apologize for not responding back to so many of you. I hope to manage my time better in the future and stay in touch. After all, that's why this has become so important to me. Building a community of mutual admiration among the brotherhood (and sisterhood).
Many of you have commented on how you enjoy the before and after images. Well, every Thursday I plan to show you more. As I've said before, this approach makes the good images great, and the great images, extraordinary. Sometimes the differences are subtle and sometimes they're dramatic.
These are images from my friends Elaine and Jeff's wedding last summer. I've been friends with with Jeff for 18 years. Enjoy the images!

The one on the porch is just killer.

Aloha! Beautiful images. Awesome shot of the bride in the window, I really appreciate the creative enhancements and how the window turns out looking like a Rothko!

Dig the before and afters...beautiful work. Would be really cool to learn a bit more about the processing on each (i.e., a particular kubota action, opacity reduced 20%, etc). Enjoying your blog.
