So I have finally joined the ranks of the Flickr crowd [I know I am slow on this one!]. I am learning it is quite a fun and useful tool as well as finding some fantastic photographers out there. If you are a Flickr user, please feel free to follow along and see what I come up with next. You can find me at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nl_photo/
I am also a big fan of the map feature, which shows where photos have been taken! My map is getting more dots all the time so keep checking back. Cheers!
The website is under going a bit of renovation at the moment. The new site will be set up in sort of 3 different areas... -one section focusing on weddings with pricing & fantastic pictures
-the main site with my galleries and contact info
-and of course the blog here with my usual news, announcements, blabbering and fun pictures
So stay tuned as I tweak the site a bit and you will soon see a revamped weddings section as well! For now, a little picture fun from my favorite coffee shop in Chicago. The Noble Tree located in Lincoln Park. Cheers!
My latest profit donation comes from Amanda & Jeff's gorgeous mountain wedding that we shot late last year. They ultimately chose Charlie's Place, the new animal shelter in Clear Creek County. Charlie's Place is a brand new, modern, county owned and managed animal shelter serving the residents of Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties. More information can be gathered here...

So I had the chance to head up to Rocky Mountain National Park last week and have a go at some local wildlife. I have always said I will never take living in Colorado for granted, but have realized we haven't been to RMNP nearly enough. It is a truly wonderful place to have right in our backyard and we are fortunate to be able to take a day trip so easily. Our photo mission turned out pretty good, but nothing I will be submitting for publication anytime soon. I am hoping to get back to the park soon for some better opportunity. So without further ado...
The disaster that has gripped Haiti is still fresh in our minds. But let us not forget as time passes and continue to support our neighbors in their efforts to rebuild their lives. As part of my commitment to change how businesses work, I have made another non-profit donation to UNICEF. I urge you to do the same if you can. We can all give back even if it is just a little. UNICEF is a great organization that has done a lot of great work all over the world, rest assured your donation will be put to great use.
This post wouldn't be complete without a reference to photography. There is a lot of great photo-journalism coming out of Haiti and I wanted to share some moving photos with you. Have a look at Damon Winter's and some other great photographers work for the New York Times. Take care of each other out there.
