      Hi, If you could only use one lens for the rest of your days which lens would it be and why?

      50 1.2.

      Your post processing is amazing. May I ask though why you decide to buy a TS lens rather than simply blurring in post? I am finding it hard to justify spending so much on a TS lens when applying an unsharp gradient in LR is so fast and easy (and free!)

      it's about perspective, not just blur. I've literally never seen a good fake tilt shift photo in my life either. Plus, photoshop just can't replicate what an actual lens bokeh can accomplish.

      Hi JP , how is the new AF in mark III ? do you feel the difference ?

      It's like night and day, seriously. If you're a Canon shooter, the new AF is revolutionary. You'll go, "how the eff did we put up with the old AF for that long?"

      It's that good.

      Is Africa everything you hoped?? Merry Christmas!! Loves and hugs and tickles.

      Africa is rad, man. We did a safari the other day and saw a bunch of stuff. totally felt like Africa. The people are great here and our hosts couldn't be nicer.

      Merry Christmas to you and all the rest of the J's in your fam :)

      How do you keep subjects (especially girls) from looking pasty white? What do you do to give richer skin tones? Sometimes bumping my white balance makes them look more yellow than tan.

      I don't overexpose and toss a vintage action over the top? haha oh, sorry.

      Ok. Situation: You are in Brisbane and have flight somewhere to europe shoot destination wedding. And then just happen super-duper anonymous volcanic eruption. All Flights cancel from Australia. Question: Do you have plan B?

      la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

      I love how real your photos are. The skin on your clients faces are not airbrushed & you can even see their pores. But how do you make their skin look flawless (no color blotches, etc) without airbrushing them? Lets face it, not all clients have good skin

      All my clients are robots.

      What first dance song have you heard a million times?

      I honestly don't have *one*. Sure, I've heard a couple of songs more than once, but nothing in excess.

      The bouquet toss on the other hand...

      Under what circumstances would you cancel shooting a wedding last minute? How would you deal with it?

      according to my Astronomy professor, you are more likely to be hit by a meteor than die in a plane crash. So watch out :P

      How can I get pansy anonymous internet haters like you have? I want to be big time but I will never feel big time if I don't have at least a few pansy anonymous internet haters. Any tips?

      I love you, Ken.

      Plus, you're way more "big time" than me.

      How come the J is jesus (on your sidebar) isn't capitalized? ..just curious :)

      opps.

      Isn't it against our religion that people getting married outside a church? Do you still photograph non-religious weddings? My parents would have disowned me if I didn't get married in a church!!

      I don't know what religion you're a part of, but it doesn't matter to be. My brother is going to get married in an old warehouse later this year.

      The church isn't a building, the church is the people.

      How did you learn to take such beautiful sooc shots? Anything besides trial and error? When you expose your shots, do you expose to the right or expose how you want the shot to look when finished?

      There are no short cuts unfortunately. It's all about shooting a lot. For years I shot all the time, looked at other photographers, analyzed my photos compared to theirs, went out and shot more, analyzed more, shot more and so on. Eventually your voice finds you in the midst of all that shooting. It sorts of sneaks up on you from nowhere, more and more present for every day. Trying to chase your voice is pointless, you just need to shoot and shoot and it will find you.

      Most awkward thing that's happened (to you or a subject) during a photoshoot?

      Groomsmen have sexually harassed my wife. That was awkward having them tell them off. I've also had a homeless man tell a high school client that she'd be good in playboy. I had to give that man a talking to while the girl and her friend walked away.
