Those crazy cats at Alt F, Dalisa and John have hit the road in their ginormous RV. They are driving from Las Vegas to all points west… mostly. They have blogged every day of the trip on www.earth13.com but, I thought I’d buy domains that are more reflective of their true personalities www.jmcthervking.com and www.ladydollthervqueen.com

Their first stop is in Dallas at the studio of JVS and Anne. I so, so wished that I took up the offer to fly down and attend but, that dang time thing gets in the way a lot often. I saw a supah cool image that JVS took on the roof of the RV that the Cooper’s are driving. Great work Joseph! Get your butt in gear and host another seminar. I really want to attend again.

My quote of the day for the Coopers is “And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.” by Dr. Seuss.

I was simply ecstatic to find out that some of my images made the Trash the Dress site! While I was in Tampa for the DWF Convention 2008 a few weeks ago, I tagged along on a Trash the Dress shoot with some of the coolest friends on the planet. It was sort of by accident that I was even involved. Anyways, as usual I shot where no one else was shooting and that was in the cold, muddy area in front of the pier. That’s where the below shot was captured. The image reminds of a snake tongue… so, maybe I can call this one, Tongue in the wind.

Today I had a great day of shooting with some superb local photographers; Alicia Williams, Jamison Wexler, Stacey Doyle, and Melissa Kline . Jamie Wexler had made a plan to shoot Lisa Rae prior to her wedding day in December. He had come up with a few locations to shoot her bridals. We meet up in Grafton and headed out to a few locations for the nice smiley portraits and then we headed into the woods for some… different ones. We used a couple of props that may raise a brow or two. Don’t worry, there was no ammo.

Here’s some more images

A great idea that’s been talked about is to offer an after engagement shoot after the wedding to trash your dress. We’ll not totally trash it but, do some less traditional shots. We’re working on locations and think that we’ll find a brave few to have a lil fun.
