Uber is in the D

New app-based car service Uber (think Metro Cars for the digital age) has just launched in Detroit.  They are already in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Baltimore, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Hamptons, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Milan, Minneapolis, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, etc.etc.   Check them out at www.Uber.com .

They hired Ron Warren Photography to shoot their launch party this past Wednesday night at the ever chameleon Museum of Modern Art Detroit (MOCAD).  The party was a big hit!  Thanks Uber and welcome to Detroit!

same-sex marriages and unions

Smugmug has an interesting article today about same-sex wedding photography.  There's lots of great links and information about other reference material.

P.S. Ron Warren Photography shoots all kinds of weddings and ceremonies!

Why I REALLY do what I do

Just read this article by Anne Almasy on Huffington Post.  I feel pretty much the same way about weddings and wedding photography...

"I love a good party. I love a bride in the most elaborate, fancy, princess-y dress you've ever dreamed of. I love custom chuppahs and embroidered aisle runners and matchy-matchy bridesmaids dresses. I love to photograph flowers and shoes.

But you know why I REALLY do what I do?

To photograph your parents, who will hold hands and cry on the first row of the chapel. To photograph your sister dancing with that boy she will marry in three years. To photograph those kids who will grow up so, so quickly. To photograph your grandfather, who will pass away next spring. To photograph your first kiss as a married couple, your best friend busting out her signature dance moves, the flower girl asleep under a table, and maybe even your ex looking pretty wistful as he hugs you a little too long in the receiving line."

experiments in light spirography

Just some early experiments with light-painted spirography (if I can coin such a term by way of the old Spirograph toy!)

More headshots!

This is my dear friend, Anne.  She is a successful writer.  She recently visited the studio for a new author photo for the ol' dust jacket.  We played with her signature look and had a great time in the studio.
