Peter and Rebecca Dixon Wedding

One of the best weddings I've ever experienced. Peter managed to arrange for a bar - BQ get together with the closest of friends on a pleasant Saturday afternoon in Round Rock. He and Rebecca also managed to (mostly) keep a secret that they'd be wed during the outing. To take it a step further, Peter managed to keep the secret from  Rebecca that Tim, their best friend, was officially ordain 2 weeks earlier and would perform their vows. A friendly get together in the backyard turned wedding day.  Fantastic !!!

Meeting Mike Brito aka JediMasta

I met Mike Brito at a Mixer Event and in conversation shows me a video clip on his smartphone of a martial arts competition that he's in. I am a fan of martial arts and now sitting next to me is a champion. So, we arranged for a photo shoot during his following business visit to Austin. But, we shoot in Georgetown before he checks into his hotel. The shoot is scheduled for late afternoon. I look at the clear sky and hope for a few clouds to roll in. We headed for The Blue Hole around 6:30 and there are very few people at the park. I look up again and clouds are rolling in.  

  Mike has his complete outfit and sword, I have my studio light and speed light. The challenge is always having enough light for the shadow side of my subject while achieving blue sky greatness or in the case, blue sky and cloud greatness.  He gets into position and holds a variety of moves for a series of photographs. All elements came together and I couldn't be happier.

RSX STUDIOS

First of all, RSX STUDIOS is the shortened name I am registering and also I now have a "real" website that is, a "www" in the URL.  It is http://www.rsxstudios.com.  Heck, everything photographic is just about all digital, so I decided to eliminate "digital" from the name. I also had originally "Images" as part of the name so I changed it to "Studios". Studios has a connection with a place photographs are taken, as well as, a place photographs are displayed. I do both. So there. It makes sense, and the name is not that long, so people can remember it easier.

 Hopefully I will get more active with this blog. It seems that blogging became somewhat secondary as I had become rather busy with photography business, the business model and branding, and developing a workflow that works for me.  I appreciate your time on my blog and responses, and support.
