Shooting this weekend for Yelp at the Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival at Pilot...er, I mean, Dunn Ti... er... I mean Coke-a-Cola Field.
Love The Funny
One of the best lines ever said:
C: "I'm Polish! I forgot about gravity!"
Taste of Buffalo
"No dad! You use the tickets to GET food!"
Porkchop Sandwiches
In honor of the fact that I'm having porkchop sandwiches for dinner.
And it's the 4th of July. Happy random exploding things day.
He Understands Value
Me: Hey, Evan, check this out. A globe where all of the water is black.
E: Cool! Where did you find that?
Me: In an antique store I was in.
E: Could you buy it if you wanted to?
Me: Sure, it was for sale.
E: How much was it?
Me: Fifty buc...
E: I HAVE A GLOBE, thanks.

J: What time do you want us in bed?
Me: Well, it's Saturday night. Not like you have school tomorrow.
J: Yeah, but it's already past nine o'clock...
Me: So? You can't stay up late and have fun once in a while? I think you can. What's wrong with that?
E: You're like.. the best dad. Ever.
Me: *melts*
That kid knows how to get his way.
Well, thank you WGRZ’s Marketing Department!
Thank you for finding my humble little studio website and being impressed by my photography work! That kind of recognition is what keeps me striving to always improve, to keep my passion for my artistic work alive, to keep spending countless hours working to capture moments and memories that people can fondly look back on and relive through my efforts...
However you try to spin it though, asking me to PAY YOU in order to be your exclusive photographer for your business highlights, with the promise that you'll "feature my work" doesn't sound like a fair shake to me.
If you want me to buy a marketing package, just present one. Asking me to buy a marketing package AND work for you for free... I don't know where you went to business school, but that sure doesn't sound like a profitable scenario for me.
Either you want quality photographic work, and are willing to pay for it, or you want someone desperate to be associated with you in hopes that you get their work noticed. For anyone that does entertain this, they have to realize the self-defeating nature of it:
Paying someone so you can do work for them leaves you less time to do the paying working that they are claiming you can hope to get. All of the costs have to be considered....
Super Hero Dilemmas
Morning conversations in the car...
E: Dad, ok. So, you're a Superhero but your powers are limited. So would you rather.... be able to fly, but you can only do it from two-feet off the ground, or would you rather be able to run with lightning speed, but only for 100-feet at a time?
P: Hmm... I'd rather be able to fly. Even two-feet off the ground, it seems like it would be more useful.
E: True.
P: Besides, all that rapid starting and stopping with the running can't possibly be good for your knees.
E: HAHA!
P: Flying two-feet off the ground would be fun. It would be like luge racing everywhere!
J: Ok, would you rather have X-Ray vision but never be able to turn it off... or....
E: Hmm....
J: Hmm....
P: ...or, you can fly, but have no control over the direction you go.
J: HAHA!
E: HAHA! I wanted to go California, why am I in Paris?!
Ahhh.. we have fun.
