Photo Update

FAIR WARNING: If you're sick and tired of hearing about photography, stop reading, close the window, just do it, no one will know.

Still here? Good. There's some exciting things happening in the world of Eastman brother photography. Thought I'd share some quickly.

The site:

Today is Day 70 of the One Photo Per Day Project. 70 days. Whoah. We're in the middle of our first f/4 contest. Check it out here. You should enter, to0 (only requirement is a point & shoot camera). Last week we had over 500 visitors! Then again, 495 of those may have been H trying to pad the stats. To celebrate, we're launching a new site today. Check it out here. Read about all it's new gadgets and gizmos here.

The photogs:

Matt's turning into a pro. He's had several portrait gigs lately and has several more coming up--and he's gettin' friggin' good. If you live in the Utah/Idaho area and are looking for some saaweeeet family/portrait/wedding pics, you should check him out here or send him a note here.

Hebe has several photos entered in a contest with Capture My Utah. Photographers enter photos, the public votes, popular pics get published. Could be biased, but I think Hebe's pics belong in the book. You wanna help make that happen? You can vote for his photos here (click on each photo, then click "Yes! I dig it").

I also have several photos of Luke climbing entered in a contest with Rock & Ice Magazine. The winners get published and profiled in the mag. Fingers crossed! I'm also putting together an NYC photo book before we head off to the west coast. Any ideas what should go in it? I'm all ears.

I'm really proud of what Matt and Hebe have done photographically speaking in the last 4 months. It's been really fun to be a part of it with them. It feels good to have the support of so many great friends and family--especially H. I think I speak for Matt and Hebe when I say it takes 3 of the greatest wives in the world to let their hubbies enter the crazy, time-consuming, insanely expensive world of serious photography, let alone to be so incredibly supportive. You're the best H.

I entered the photo contest! Aren't you guys proud of me???

NYC photo book ideas. . I have a few ideas. Idea 1- Places/things you love or that mean something to you
Idea 2- unconventional things like man-hole covers and bums (hobos, not bottom ends of people) on the park bench. . things that SCREAM NYC
4- A book all about the Brenchley's. Wait, maybe that is going a little bit overboard :)

You kidding me??!! So proud of you!! Love the photo book ideas, too ... although the Brenchley book might look a little stalker-ish sitting on our coffee table in SF.

i think the "so ny" book is perfect.... the cemetary hill in queens, shoes on a phone line, burned out car (found one of those once just up the street and around the corner from the brenchleys. subway peeps. you already have a pretty great start with the stuff you have been taking. can't wait to see it! oh wait I KNOW!!! What about a New Jersey book! ; )

and why oh why would Luke want to be climbing like that?? looks SO painful!
