Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
The orphan works bill is a terrible bill that will hurt a lot of photographers and other creative people. It will make it far easier for corporations to steal our images and creative work.
This will seriously take less than a moment. Please send this to your representative NOW!

Good friend Josh Johnston pointed this ebay auction below. Maybe I don’t have to leave my studio to shoot a wedding anymore? Thanks Josh!
Canon Mirror Lens
5200mm 1:14
This is the only ultra-telephoto lens in the world capable of taking photographs of objects 18 to 32 miles away (30km to 52kms away). Having a focal length of 5200mm, Canon Mirror Lens 5200mm can obtain one hundred times as large an object image as that of a 50mm lens.
For focusing this mounted or fixed lens on an extremely distant object, two aiming telescopes are set on the side of the lens barrel, and the entire lens is placed on a rigid stand which rotates smoothly. Minimizing the overall length had been a big problem in designing this lens. However, the Catadioptric system that is applied to the other two Canon mirror lenses has succeeded in reducing it down to one third of the nominal focal length. In general focal length and optical aberration increase with each other, however, our long and persistent research and development have succeeded in solving this problem. Canon mirror lens 5200mm composed of spherical main and secondary mirrors and a correction lens would assure you of clear images.
I am very prompt in responding to emails, so if you do not hear from me, it is probably because either your email or my email response got stuck in a spam filter. This happens a lot with wedding related emails.
In addition, if you use GMAIL, you are in risk of having your emails rejected from a lot of places including my host’s email server. Here is the reason that explains why:

I am doing spring cleaning and getting rid of two books:
Professional Photoshop 5 - The classic guide to color correction (the techniques in this book apply to any version of Photoshop)
Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers (w/disc) - again most techniques here apply to any version of Photoshop
let me know if you want these - come and pick them up!
I am updating my blog so I can post larger photos and provide a more user friendly interface. You can subscribe to my RSS feed as well - it is at the bottom of the page (look for orange logo). There will be some more changes coming up but meantime, enjoy the larger photos!
Here is a cool interview with Canon’s Chuck Westfall. He is a very straight forward guy known for answering a lot of questions on forums like dpreview. Very cool guy.

This has nothing to do with weddings or photography right now but I think it will be the future of web browsing, so it is worth looking. I can think of photographer websites utilizing this technology when it becomes available!
This is a very cool article that shows how durable the digital media we use is:
