I was just experimenting with a few different post-processing techniques this morning. The two colored images are faded with a blue-ish tone, me like! Still messing around with the black-n-white conversion, trying to make it look like black-n-white film used to look, especially paying attention to the grain so it wont look too "digital".
I love it when I can get some cool light sources in unexpected areas, like a parking garage. Not to mention that these images were shot with my now favorite lens, a 35mm 2.0 canon lens, which is tiny, lightweight, plastic and only costs like $200. Yes, maybe the "L" series of that lens is even better, but it also costs about $1k more! For a lightweight vacation lens, that you dont even have to worry about scratching, breaking or whatever, this little lens is just right....

I was supposed to launch this new blog awhile ago, but we had a few minor technical issues to fix. There are still a few things I will need to tweak, like the portrait slideshow and the "about us" section, but we wanted to have the new blog up already so we figured we'd sort it out in a few days.....
This blog allows for bigger images, way easier commenting, video embedding and a whole bunch more. I will definitely update often, please check back and dont be afraid or shy to leave some comments.
Take a look around, we hope to hear from you :)

That is how tall Dina is when she puts on her new kicks. Better said, her new pumps.
A while ago I remember my wifey mentioning she needed black heels; wait, wait....she didnt "need" new shoes, she has a bunch of barely used shoes, so I guess she "wanted" new black heels :)
So, as I was wandering the mall the other day, thinking and thinking of what she might like....I bumped into these LAMB heels that I thought were just the right compensation for putting up with yours truly for the last 3 years!

One thousand ninety six. Days.
Yup, that's exactly how many days Dina has been "Mrs. Macuil" :)
Our three year anniversary is here and as were packing a few things to take on our little get-a-way trip to Vegas, I thought I'd share a couple of pics from our wedding and honeymoon.....
Here's my favorite photo from our wedding day
Here's a photo I love. I took it with my little Nikon D70 as Dina, Christal, Nancy and Michelle were dancing away. It was late already and I had decided to add an accesory piece to Dina's dress....

I can't believe that tomorrow it'll be three years since Dina and I were married! I remember I stayed up super-late the previous night trying to get all kinds of last minute things done. Yet, with only a few hours sleep, I woke up and was ready for all the activities of this amazing day. Basically, I was a crazed fool, trying to check, double-check, and triple check all kinds of things. I was nervous. I was scared.
But the following day turned out to be amazing, just about everything went as planned. So many of our close friends and family helped make it an unforgettable, perfect day for Dina and myself. I want to once again thank all our friends and family (you all know who you are) that helped out and joined us for that hot sunny summer day 3 years ago!
I was nervous that day, but the moment I saw Dina in her wedding dress....I was just about speechless. I didn't know what to say, seeing her in her dress was an absolutel beautiful moment. Check her out....
