Melissa and Harry Wedding

One of the funnest weddings from the summer. Taking care and providing photography for some of my closest friends, is always a real treat. This was also a wedding where I had my high school photography teacher there, Ms. Fagan as I called her in high school, was the one who got me into photography so many years ago.
This is a link to the website about the wedding.

My only regret is not having more time with the bride and groom, creating those romantic shots they will love for a lifetime.

Not all smartphones are as smart as others

Not all smartphones are as smart as others apparently. I was working and operating a Motorola Q for about a year, and as I thought about upgrading to the Iphone I realized I really don’t like Mac products. I don’t like the QuickTime or ITunes, the ipod is ok but I just have to deal with that one. Well then I was introduced to the HTC Pure, which runs off the Windows Mobile 6.5. All in all it’s a pretty awesome phone and I was also educated on the fact that At&t says you have to have a data plan if you have a smartphone. I wasn’t using all that it can do because of the cost involved but I want to say more mobile with my clients and stay in better contact with all the photography information.

I like that the HTC Pure has apps like the Iphone, even though it does not have some 85,000 apps that the Iphone has, it has a lot of apps to be fun. My current favorite is the facebook app that allows me to snap a photo and instant upload to my profile. I also like the weather bug app that keeps me posted on the weather in both Rehoboth and Ocean City, you never know when you need to have your back up plans ready in case of rain.

I do not like the camera that is on the phone. It has a 5mp camera built into the phone but if it takes blurry or grainy pictures it’s not that good. At least the Motorola Q has a built in flash that was nice, but only worked in short distances. I can deal with the not so good camera with all the other cool features it has.
I like that it has a dongle that lets you plug in headphones as well as a headset for easy, hands free communication. On my house phone I use a standard, 3.5 mm jack headset, and when I get a call on the cell I can now just unplug from my one phone to the HTC.

The internet on this phone is worth its weight in gold. You are never disconnected from the net with this little guy and when you need to check your bank account for example it’s just a couple clicks away. The internet and other applications are pretty fast however sometimes it does lock up. From there I just turn it off and turn it back on.
