But I have a new Job at Benson Comunications! I am the Art Director! but doesnt mean much when your the only art person haha! I am sure that will change here in the next couple months… I am going to give the whole graphic design dept here at benson a much needed face lift for sure! I will have a new BensonCom portfolio site and blog up sometime soon… you know I always say that and shit never gets done! uh… but this time it will damnit! Thats right BensonCom your getting it! haha! Anyway in the mist of taking 2400+ photos at my first wedding gig, I was able to stop in Chicago and spend a night with my good buddy Eric L. It was an awesome night of drinking and drunkeness, but the next day is what everyone gets to look at… When I woke up that Tuesday morning In Chicago I looked for the nearest L and headed for downtown with my bike! I love every moment of hanging out in Chicago Especially with my bike and my camera! You know that one song where the lyrics go “All I need is my Car and my Guitar” well my song goes “All I need is my Bike and my Camera” !!! Well anyway I will be posting more and more now that I am in front of the computer actaully getting shit done! Here are some Photos of my Chicago Experience!

Had an awesome impromptu shoot with Ted Isla over the weekend. He was spinning the electro at my huge party, some 150+ ppl showed so thanks to all that came it was a blast.

Check out all the photos from that night on my newest section of velocity-concepts — eventphoto.

Remember to be sure and hire me for any event photography needs especially for your Nightlife Photos. New Dedicated Website coming soon in association with John Azzilonna from Azzystyle.com

Messing around with some different colors and looks with my Sister Taylor.

Way to many to even count. I have been working with WhatsHotLive.com, taking photos at Dragon Room and Roxy. Follow the link to check out some of the photos from the Hottest Parties in Orlando! I take 300+ photos a night within a couple hours, its a lot of fun, but takes up some bit of time.Here are some of my Favorite Shots this past week.

Lisa, My most Beautiful Model thus far / assistant at hectic whats hot hottie shoots.

See the new logo? What you think? I have a whole new layout / Myspace Layout / Website coming soon. All new Brand to myself yet again!!! tedisgraphic.com!!!

Nathan Strieby Carving the shit out of the Maitland Trannys. I used my one 540 EZ flash on a flash stand, Fired with eBay Triggers.

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.

Corday – 550EX to Camera Left 1/2 Power.

Corday Ripping down the Parking Garage Earlier tonight! – 550EX to Camera Left 1/2 Power.

Soon I will have Buried Past Recall Pictures up and Pictures of Jo Jo, They are all Amazing and I cant wait to show them to the Internet! But for now I have to Log off and Slice up a Site that I need to do for Class. BaH!

Film Grain is cool, I use to hate it but, now I find it exciting. It feels like it sparked my interest in photography all over again. Well its 1 in the morning and I just got done playing with some new pictures that I just got developed today I dont think I will go to bed soon either, although I am going on a shoot tomorrow to play with my flash some more. The Pictures turned out really grainy because I am an idiot and opened the back of the camera at the beach before I rewound the film, oops happy mistake. Whatevs, I love these pictures and I cant wait to get into the darkroom and make some prints! YAY!! FILM

Ok I know its pretty lame to have posted these photos so long after the even but, give me a break I have been sick! I felt like death when I took these photos! I am just getting over it now so I will be able to get back to working on photos and such, I am pretty behind at the moment and will be catching up this weekend believe me!

This last show was a great with the sounds from Buried Past Recall, Jettison Never, Kids Of Survival (whom I am listening to at the moment), and Toby The Fugitive. If you haven’t clicked on any of those links I suggest you do it now!
