It's a flash composite: camera on a tripod, multiple shots with me in the frame holding a flash, 5 minutes in photoshop (or less) with some layer masks. Follow Ryan Brenizer's work and you'll find more examples and maybe some tips. It's not at all a new idea, but he introduced me to the possibilities of doing it quickly on a wedding day.

I did switch. I now have two D700s, a 16-35, 35, 50, 55 macro, 85, and 70-200 as well as a few sb800 flashes.

The reasons for the switch are complex, but basically it boils down to the fact that Canon doesn't have a full-frame camera with great ISO and autofocus, while Nikon has several, with the D700 being a really great deal at under $2500.

I shoot primarily with primes and one body, but I have two backup bodies also. For weddings you definitely need a backup or two of everything critical.

A little weird. I've been really thinking about it, a D700s and 35G would probably tip me over the edge.

everything up to about 12 years old is real vague, is that normal? I do remember pretty clearly spilling milk in my lap at school at about 6 years old.

About a foot, nothing too exciting.

one piece? have backups for everything important.

If I can give a second, know your equipment inside and out so you can focus on people and moments instead of exposure, focus, lighting, etc.

Weddings are great because everyone is (usually) happy and looking their best. It's also nice to know that my work will be appreciated for decades.

already sold.

nope, i hardly dream. i can only remember having a dream a handful of times a year, and even fewer times can I remember any details. and nothing ever repeats.

Not really from people in my church, our church is cool like that. I did start a homebrew group in our church a couple years ago and it got an article in the local paper with an interview with me, I got a lot of strong emails after that from people at other churches.

I guess that means I win

Religious isn't part of my target at all, and if they're a really conservative type of religious I'm probably not a good fit for them. That's part of the reason I also have the beer thing in my profile.

I do lightroom adjustments to everything, and paste settings where I can. The best things for speed is to get it right in camera, find your style so you know where to go in post, and to think more and shoot less.

That's a tough one, I've got an imperial stout and a barleywine that I've made both a couple times and choosing between them would be like choosing a favorite child.

It's going around Twitter a lot, and some photography message boards.

that perfect in between stage when it's both

That I've shot at so far, The English Inn. But I'd love to shoot in/near Traverse City. Or at Bell's Eccentric Cafe, that would be awesome!

I don't refuse, I just don't show any on my site and don't deliver any. If a client requests a B+W print, I'm happy to oblige. Why? I just like color; I see in color and I shoot for color.

There's a tiny little island the size of a football field I explored with some people years ago in Papua New Guinea, it was really cool and would be tons of fun to shoot at.
