Well…it turns out that

Tumblr allows more than one blog on one account.  I totally was confused the first time I got my blog set up and thought that I had to have two accounts for two blogs.  

I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I’m putting it all under my log-in for my claymations blog.  The URL is NiceGlass.tumblr.com if you would be kind enough to follow. 

Sorry for the inconvenience everybody,

Jonathan.

Best list for people like me: "The 10 Second Pre-Shoot Camera Check" -

It’s not so common that I screw up settings by accident now that I have my D90, but when I use my D5000, I really have to watch it! 

Excellent list for all photographers.

Thank you Brian Auer (Epic Edits) for coming up with this list!

The past two days I have spent editing photos.  I was telling a few of my co-workers that while editing the event I found myself teary-eyed multiple times.  No way could that be a bad thing (even for a guy), it just means that I took some emotional shots!
Anyways, today was the first day that I finally had the chance to create something.  Embarrassingly enough, I found myself teary-eyed again…  I really hope their family loves it.

Well, I finally got through my first wedding, a Catholic wedding for all things!  I was pretty nervous and a bit in experienced (not to forget it was all in Spanish), but I got through it pretty well!  I really hope that Juan Carlos and Liz like their present (my photographs ^_^ )
Just beware as there are a lot of photos!

Juan Carlos and Liz Wedding Photos

I just got done shooting Liz and Juan Carlos’ wedding, and man, weddings are killer!  First off, the choice not to wear dress pants was smart—I would have ripped those knees.  Second, I didn’t over shoot.  I have a total photo count of 1,700-ish, but if you watch videos about wedding photographers, some people are nuts and take a good 3,000 photos.  I on the other hand took only the shots that I knew they would love, and if it wasn’t for the plan of turning the entire wedding into a stopmotion, well, we could have gotten away with about 600 less.  After doing a Mexican wedding, I could never bear to do a Dutch wedding!  Blah!  Boring!  The spirit and joy was just so alive during the ceremony and reception…just amazing.   I can’t wait to have the photos done so that I can show you guys!  It’s going to be amazing!

I have a wedding shoot for my friends, Liz and Juan Carlos, tomorrow.  Wedding photography to me is a bit—well, boring—but I want to have it in the portfolio so that when I am looking for work, I’ll have it all covered.

Wish me the best!  I hope they like my alternative style (seeing as I don’t really enjoy wedding photography).

—P.S., this is their wedding present from me, so it alleviates some of the stress…
