    Meet the Photographer - Take 2

    Monday, June 2nd, 2008

    Okay, let’s try this again now that the weather is nice. I’ll be at Emery Park (the ponds), just east of Hillsdale on State Road, at the first pavilion on Friday, June 6th, from 4-6 PM. Stop by and just say hi, ask questions, learn what it is that I do, and get to know [...]

    Sunday’s Website Outage

    Monday, May 19th, 2008

    Yesterday, which was Sunday the 18th, the server hosting this site was down for more than half the day. While annoying, I have to say that in the last several years I’ve been using this company, this is by far the longest they have been down. It was an inconvenience, but they are back up [...]

    Photographer Test Drive Cancelled due to weather

    Friday, May 2nd, 2008

    The photographer Test Drive I had planned for this afternoon has been cancelled due to the weather. I do not want anyone getting injured due to the thunderstorms and rain we have running through this area at the present time.

    Photographer “Test Drive” Session - May 2nd, 2008 - Emery Park

    Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

    The Photographer Test Drive has been cancelled due to the weather. Don’t want anyone out playing in a thunderstorm. Jeff 
    A lot of individuals are hesitant to hire a new photographer. You don’t buy a car without test driving it first - right? So why can’t you “test drive” the photographer first. So I’m thinking about [...]

    Spammers At It Again

    Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

    Yes, the spammers are at it again - spoofing the pywrit.com email host in their crap. If you have received any non-legitimate email with a domain name of pywrit.com, it was not me - nor is the mail server hacked. It is simply some stupid moron too lazy to get a real job using a [...]

    Contact Lenses

    Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

    Okay, so I just received my first pair of contact lenses on Friday. I spent the better part of an hour with the optometrist and his assistant learning how to put them in and take them out. Yesterday I wore them twice for about 3 hours each, and today twice for a total of about [...]

    Current Special

    Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

    Every business has specials from time to time to encourage new customers to buy and current customers to return. Here is my current running special: For each paid photography session, receive a free Package 1 set of prints. Package 1 consists of one 8X10, two 5X7, and four 4X6 prints. It is a $12.50 value [...]

    The Fourth Corollary to Murphy’s Law

    Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

    Most people are familiar with Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong - it will. The Fourth Corollary to Murphy’s Law reads thus: If you conceive of four ways in which something can go wrong and take steps to circumvent these issues, a fifth and far more disasterous problem will promptly develop. With that in [...]

    Model Shoot - 3/1/08

    Monday, March 3rd, 2008

    I did a model shoot on Saturday with a young lady from the local college. She is an aspiring actress and it was her first time posing in front of the camera in this manner. The young lady, I’ll call her C, was a bit nervous, a bit shy (but not too much so since [...]

    Local Bank Robbed

    Friday, February 29th, 2008

    Okay, this last week was pretty interesting with a local bank here in Hillsdale getting robbed. It was the first robbery here since 1991 according to the Hillsdale Daily News. Of course, Hillsdale has one of the highest unemployment rates in a state that has the unemployment in the country. So that begs the question: [...]
