You might have noticed that my main website has changed.  As some of you may know, designing and developing your own website is very time consuming and tedious.  That is why I was very excited to have found a website designer who offers high-tech, easy to use, low cost website templates.

I first heard of FWD Designs while reading a blog post on Scott Kelby's website.  After viewing the site that Scott had created I decided this was the perfect solution for what I was wanting for my site redesign.  Forty dollars later and about 3 hours of time spent formatting my images to work within the template, I have a new website. There really was nothing to it.  Although I still need to make a few minor tweaks here and there, the site is up and ready to use.  I'm thrilled with the new design and I hope you like the new look too.

About two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to spend some time shooting a good friend of mine and co-worker, Meghal.  She & I have worked together for about 6 months now and during that time we've talked about doing a photoshoot together numerous times.  Finally our schedules agreed and we were able to get together at a park near our St. Pete office.  As you can see from the samples below Meghal is exceptionally beautiful and a natural in front of the lens.

Our time together was short but very successful.  During that time I was able to capture a few hundred images of Meghal in a variety of poses.  The ones shown above are particular favorites of mine from the shoot.  I am hopeful that this is the start of a great photographer/model relationship that will allow us both to grow in our respective hobbies.  She's such a wonderful person and being fortunate enough to shoot portraits of her was a real honor.  Thanks Meghal! 

If you'd like to see more images from Meghal's shoot please feel free to stop by her gallery.  You can find it HERE.

During our recent trip to Atlanta we had the opportunity to visit Georgia Aquarium.  Not know what to expect I took my camera along just in case.  Boy was I glad I did.  If you've ever been to the aquarium you know why.  It is truly spectacular and well worth visiting if you're in the area.  Below are a few of my favorite shots from the visit.

Each fo these shots were taken without using a flash.  The flash would've surely ruined the shot.  The fish were amazing, especially the Whale Sharks and the giant Manta Ray.  It was a fantastic place to visit and we look forward to going again someday when we're back in the Atlanta area.  - Dave

During our recent visit to Atlanta we had the opportunity to enjoy a concert from a local musician, Gregg Mulvany.  The show was held at a local church and the performance was outstanding.  I took my camera along and grabbed a few shots of Gregg doing his thing.

Gregg, as most of you know, is my god-brother and so getting to see him sing in front of such a large audience was a real treat.  I am so glad that I had my camera with me so I could capture this wonderful moment.  I think the photos really show Gregg's showmanship and I'm happy that I could take these for this family.  - Dave

As some of you probably already know, my mom and step-dad live in a pretty nice, upscale neighborhood here in Orlando.  Well, one of my mom's good friends in the neighborhood happens to have a husband that owns two very, very nice automobiles.  A few weeks ago the thought occurred to me that he might like to have some nice pictures of his cars.  This would also give me a chance to take a stab at doing some auto photography.  So, I contacted the my mom's neighbors and setup a photo shoot of sorts with the two cars.  Below are a few samples of some of the images that I was able to capture. (Click on the images below to see larger versions of the photos)

As you can see, these are some really nice cars.  The Porsche was just an amazingly awesome car.  The Mercedes was no slouch either.  Both of these cars are insanely expensive and I probably will never make enough to own either one in my life time.  The photo shoot, however, was great!  Although it was Africa hot out that morning, with the sun blazing as bright as it possible could, I still managed to come away with some really great shots.  Hopefully one or two of the photos will make it to a print that hangs on a wall in their home or office.  I'll let you know if one does.  This was a great experience and I am hopeful that it's the start of something more for me and my photography hobby. Thanks for stopping by! - Dave
