2008 Fitness America

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Howdy,

This weekend I was in Las Vegas helping a couple of friends out for Fitness America’s 2008 exhibition. There a myriad number of categories for contestants to compete in ranging from figure, bikini, model, fitness and etc. The entire convention was hosted at Golden Nugget.

Here are some behind the scene photographs. The following is Tony - a totally awesome choreographer for Bring It On 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and many other movies/celebrities - giving the girls a quick rundown for their routine. He had so much energy it made me want to dance as well!

Sign it like an autograph… I love that move!

In less than 1.5 hours, Tony got everyone to perform a full routine flawlessly.  Totally impressive!

I think this was Model America where the female models wore costumes.  Pretty neat huh?

While they discipline their bodies, we discipline our minds.  The following is Phi working tirelessly behind the computer making sure records and scores were all accurate.

WPPI

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Hello,

Doug and I are ecstatic to announce that we are going to WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) for February 2009! I was never able to make it the previous years because of conflicting schedules. However, this year I blacked out the entire week on my calendar to make sure that nothing is going to land on those dates - even weddings.

WPPI is a world convention for wedding and portrait photographers. It is hosted in Las Vegas every year. This year WPPI is having their expo at MGM Grand.

My team - Furious Photographers - is not only going to attend, we are also hosting a booth promoting Tofurious.com. If you have not seen www.tofurious.com, go there after reading this post :)

Anyway, we were so fortunate to be able to have our WPPI booth right next to Jessica Claire’s Shoot Sac booth - can I get a heck yes?! Jessica - I doubt you read my blog, but HI! Anyway, please visit our booth because we will be giving lots of stuff away and doing live demos with our state of the art products never seen used by wedding photographers (coming soon on www.tofurious.com).

I cannot explain our excitement and anxiety! I have never been to WPPI before and have no idea what to expect. Additionally, this booth costs many shiny pennies so *gasps*

See you at WPPI! Want to be a sponsor? Email me!

I just want to make a blog post about the use of fine art textures and grunge textures provided by Tofurious and how it is used to further enhance your wedding photographs! Tofurious offers a large variety of fine art textures, as well as, grunge textures to help fit in every picture and theme. I have used both types of textures on the following images to show how by using these textures can make a big difference. =)

Wedding Album Templates

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Hello,

Tofurious.com released Week 2’s wedding tool - Flush Mount Album Templates for Photoshop users.

There are 20 pages for free! Go download them and let us know what you think! Something to consider rather than the conventional order of business. Please do not ever bombard your poor bride with 800+ online pictures to go through. Rather, first give them something that is beautifully designed and aesthetically pleasing [and already packaged] - album designs!

We discuss reasons why we only use square templates and how we go about letting our brides know. Read on here about flush mount album templates and how it changes your workflow.

Please enjoy this parody!
