So far since the start of July I have not stopped. In the beginning there was the BMX tour, where me and a Group of 7 riders tore across Ohio shredding all the awesome parks. There were some ups and definitely some downs on the trip but overall success I think is pretty good. The DVD which will be called This is BMX will be hopefully done in the following months. Other then that I have just been slammed with work for school along with my work outside school. Hopefully pretty soon I will have another site up for nightlife photography since I am getting slammed with that work from every corner, it just needs it own site, but I need a name. I want something catchy that everyone will want to go to the site just to see what it is all about, but nothing is jumping to my head and everything that does the .com is already taken. So if YOU have any suggestions let me know. Also, if you are interested in working the nightclubs and have a camera with a flash and think your photography can live up to whats on whatshotlive.com right now then send me an email!!! I really need Orlando Photographers! Well I got to get going late as it is. So I will leave you with this photo to brighten up your day.

Mad Turndowns Yo!! Lots more photos will be coming I just need to find the time and motivation to get them all done!

Every month at Fullsail there is an Art Show for the students. We submit work to Kim Lomus and then she shows them to her Art History students and they vote on who will be in the show and who will be best of show.

This month was an amazing turn out with some of the best art that I have seen displayed in this show. It was standing room only for the announcement of Best of Show, which my friend Joey Northrup won (photo of the piece below). The show was so good that the governor is going to come through on Friday and see it! Well… He was already going to come see the school but they told us that they were going to keep the show up so that when he comes through he will be able to check it out. Good timing huh!?

Here are some photos from the show!

Lily had one of the best displays in the show, she took pictures of this couch in different locations like a park and in the middle of the road. She then put those pictures in frames and put them on the couch to display them in the art show!

Jake Approves!

Nick was a Happy Attendee.

I had a day off today and spent it playing Forza 2, practicing my drift! I have been spending a lot of time on the forzamotorsport.net forums and have discovered that there is a drift contest this weekend! I want to do it haha, I think it would be a lot of fun! I know I know, I am a loser but whatever I don’t care its fun! haha!

Check out some of my drift photos below.

Modelmayhem.com a network site that allows Models, Photographers, Makeup Artist, Film Makers, Advertisers, and all the professionals in Fashion Industry to well… Network! Its a great site filled with talented individuals. I have spent the last few hours browsing peoples work and having a lot of trouble staying away from it to write this little post, its that good! I recommend that everyone that is into fashion photography, and/or Modeling and is interested in networking with industry professionals to sign up for a profile! Check out my Model Mayham Profile.

On another note I also ran into something on Deviant Art that I had heard of but never tried before, Photoshop Actions! Some great little tools to get unique looks out of your photographs with just a couple clicks. Below are a couple of photos that I used actions on and then deleted some of the steps and added in my own editing.

G.Thomas - House Music!

Kellie came home the other day and wanted to shoot some pictures, I had just gotten a flash stand and umbrellas so I said why not! I got a few to come out pretty good! Pretty good for a random photo shoot that happened right when I got out of bed!

Heres What Came out! Let me know what you Think!

Emo Kellie!

Man, I dont think I have ever been so busy with Photography! I Shot pictures of a Choreographer Named Jo Jo and they came out absolutely Amazing, and then I shot about 300 photos at a Joey Page Concert that was crazy, I had to fight the 14 year old girls in the crowd to get up close, lol. All I have been doing it feels like is pushing the shutter button. Good thing I just got LightRoom, because that has dramatically changed the way I work, and its awesome! Its so fast and streamlined, on most photos I dont have to go into Photoshop to do RAW conversions or save them as JPG’s, I love it! The photos that I got tonight I did in about 5 mins from Import to RAW conversions to Saving out as a JPG’s.
