      I have really been wanting to give my photos a nice color pop and really enjoy the color in your photos. How do you pop the colors in yor photos? TRA's, (if so which action?) or the settings in your camera? Thanks for your time.

      I have a wedding coming up and the bride is a bit heavier than average. How do you make a bride look skinnier than she is? I really want her to love the photos. I LOVE your work by the way!!!

      What was the very first camera you used as a professional?

      I was a MORON when I bought my first pro camera. I went straight from a film rebel -- with kit lenses -- and spent $4000+ on a Canon 1DMarkIIN (at the time, the best Canon available). I thought "what's the best CAMERA?" and figured that's what I should buy. I SHOULD have bought a 20D or a 5D and spent the rest of the money on more important gear. By the time I shot my first pro wedding (paid wedding), I had purchased a 24-70 and a 70-200 (f/2.8 lenses) -- but when I bought the 1 series camera, I was using the kit lenses from my film rebel for a while.

      Keep in mind, this was at a time when I thought that shooting manual meant shooting manual focus ;)

      I notice one your often used lenses (next to your tilt shift) is the 50mm 1.2. In your opinion, is it that much nicer than the 1.4 and worth the upgrade ?

      You know, I can't say for sure as I've never used the 50 f/1.4. However, I can tell you that I assumed that they weren't THAT different -- and then Cindy (of Orange Turtle) borrowed my 50L and told me how the 50L was significantly superior to her 50 f/1.4. So I still don't know from experience ;)

      However, my hunch is that if I were shooting with the 50 f/1.4, not much would be different with my final product :)

      At what point did you think in your head, "Wow, I think I can pull this photography thing off."?

      I was pretty skeptical the whole way. I knew early on that I could make SOME money doing photography, but could I do it full time, supporting a family? That took me a while to feel like I could pull that off. I think once I realized that people were willing to pay me more than they do a plastic surgeon, that's when I figured I'm in the clear. That was my actual train of thought, by the way ;)

      What is your normal order at Chick-Fil-A?

      Original chicken sandwich meal, no pickle, value sized, sweet tea. Then I usually go and get an additional large order of waffle fries. Then I usually get a chocolate shake. Yeah, I have a problem :)

      I have a 17-55 2.8 for my 7D but can't seem to get that awesome bokeh you get. I get some blurring but not enough!! Secrets??

      Buy a fast prime. A used 50mm f/1.4 usually goes for under $300 :)

      What's your favorite dish from pei wei?

      Honey shrimp, no garnish (even the rice sticks), pay a couple bucks for extra shrimp, brown rice. I think I just found what I'm eating for lunch!

      chocolate or vanilla?

      If it's Chick-fil-a, chocolate shake. Have you ever had one of those?! Best shakes ever.

      Cake batter from Cold Stone is probably my favorite thing ever -- that's sort of vanilla, right?
