Recently I was guest at a family wedding in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The setting was amazing. The BOK Pavilion at the Tulsa Zoo made for the perfect location for a winter wedding. Something that instantly caught my eye  when I walked into the pavilion were the two photographers running around snapping a few pics while maneuvering their gigantic light panels in order to get the "perfect lighting." The sad thing was in the midst of trying to get beyond the poor lighting, the "professionals" missed a lot of really good photo opportunities.

Disclaimer: Before I move on, I want to be clear on the fact that I am not a professional photographer, nor have I have claimed to be one.

I see a rising problem with the increase in "easy" technology. It is sad to see more and more "professional" web firms and freelancers claiming to build websites on their Mac via iWeb. Same thing goes for photography. Having an expensive camera and being a professional photographer are two different things. Yes, I love shooting with the Nikon D90, but I have also taken some really great pics on my cheap iPhone camera.

Bottom line: I think Tyler Durden said it best when he said, "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."

*The above pics are actual images from the "professional" photogs at the wedding. I can't mention them by name but I can give you 31 reasons not to use their studio.



I was thinking about posting my new year resolution today, but who really wants to hear about me wanting to stop beating puppies and be nicer to my wife? So I decided to talk about something better-porn!

Bottom line: If you are at work, unless you are in the porn industry, do not bring porn into your workplace! Sounds pretty obvious but I know a lot of people that have been fired, or on their way to getting the pink slip, just because they had a little too much fun playing with their mouse at work.

It gets worse than just looking at the occasional "Adult Site." In the last 2 years I've listened to so many stories of businessmen who have lost their jobs because they installed web cams in their office and participated in x-rated web shows!

Even the CEOs are not immune to playing with their "disco sticks" at work. Recently Feed the Children founder, Larry Jones was ousted for multiple reasons; ncluded was bringing porn into the workplace. How dumb are you, CEOs? You spend most of your life working your ass off, only to be dethroned from your cushy job because you had to watch some girls gone wild? Dumb ass!

My advice is this: If you have to get off, wait until lunch break and find a hooker on the corner. If their are no hookers around and you really need to have some fun...find a dog or a goat. I hear goats are real fun!

Side Note: This post has nothing to do with my current employment. Furthermore, I have never had fun with dogs or goats and I have never been removed from a job due to viewing porn.
