Patty and Andrew wrangled over a 150 kids and teachers to create a fun cover for Brennans' schools' yearbook. Mike and Patty's daughter is hiding in this shot somewhere.
See if you can spot the creative retouching Kate had to do to stitch the two vertical shots together for the cover. Kate- your so good- it's hard to find!
Check out some behind the scenes from a morning spent chill'n with the What Cheer crew. They had some great ideas for images and totally rocked the modeling! Geoff rocked on the 5d with some video! Props to Jon Jelkin on the graphics- schweetness! Kate Heller brough it all together! Go team!
Have you found yourself staring at old photos of the city you call home? It's fun to see what was the corner of your favorite restaurant or recognize your old digs. Sometimes it's easy to forgot that the city is a living breathing thing and that taking photos today will provide the same nostalgia in years to come. Grab that camera and capture the moment for the memories for yourself or anyone that might stumble across your work of art...
Thanks to the Wonderful Skillz of Kate Heller for blending these images to create this panoramic of downtown Omaha. You're always up to the challenge- even when everything doesn't line up!
XMP, DNG, Presets, and Catalogs. AHHH. The crew of Malone & Co had their 2nd Lightroom Workshop last Sunday.
Pictured are Mike Malone, Chris Rich, Kerri Garrison, Julie Morris, Kameron Bayne, Geoff Johnson, Megan Nosbish, Ann Luchsinger, Sarah Pfeiffer, and Andrew Marinkovich. Also, not in the photo but attended is Cara Bresette-Yates, and the Torchwerkers.
It was great having everyone out. Don't forget to save your work!
Former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel was in the studio for a cover shoot recently. Time was short, but we had a bunch of ideas. Chuck had a long day- he was upbeat and had a great time with the shoot. Come back any time Chuck, and we can shoot a couple more scenarios. Check the video.
There is always construction going on around town- so what better way for Hawkins to advertise than to put up signage on their job trailers. Andrew shot around the new south Omaha bridge project, new library in west Omaha and new high school in Elkhorn to create new images for outdoor advertising as well as website updates. Thanks to all the guys for being so accommodating. They look tough, but had a good time with the shoot.
It's the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month and I'm finally getting some images from the Nebraska Susan G. Komen 2008 Race for the Cure posted. Sorry for the delay- slowly getting through the back log of photos. Congrats to all that helped make this year yet another record in attendance with over 17,000 participants! Very cool to see so many people supporting the good fight!
Another full day in NYC and we found alot more cool stuff that we would like to add to our arsanal. Our wish list is growing! We hit a couple good workshops that provided some new bits of info and reinforced that we are on the same page with alot of the industry leaders. Between new lighting and discovering cool new backend software - the best experience was getting our hands on the new Mark II 5d- look for some exciting new possibilities in the near future!
Huge shot out to Peter and Stephanie for letting us crash at their place! It worked out great-THANKS!
Last weekend the studio aka the "media" captured tons of images from Andrew and Adrianne's wedding. Check out the gallery with a few favorites.
So I'm going back to my roots and shooting some film. Yeah right, but I do love Polaroid. Too bad they're stopping film production soon. Check out Save Polaroid for some great info and links.
Andrew got me excited earlier this year with his Holgaroid. I bought one too and then while searching Ebay for film, I found a Polaroid Land Camera 350. It's Rangefinder that shoots pack film (full frame 3 1/4 x 4 1/4) that you can still find. There's even some 667 out there that's rated at ISO 3000. I can't wait to break this in on Saturday at the Wedding Event of the Year. There will be about 10 of us shooting and Andrew has made me the official media coordinator.
Geoff Johnson, Ben Drickey and Andrew Marinkovich came fully loaded to cover it all at Angela's wedding last week. Congrats to Brent and Angela- thanks for the great day! You are going to have plenty of images to look through! Good work!
Mike Malone and Andrew Marinkovich spent some time up in a boom capturing the view from above- around 80th and Dodge St. The final stitched images are being used on the 80 Dodge site to help sell the residential units. Good view- if you can handle the elevation.
What would you do for a litte cash? Check out what these cats did for a little green.
Parking lot that is. We set up shop next to the portable AC unit, and kept cool in the breeze. Thanks to the hundreds of people that helped make this shoot fun and kept it running smooth- Especially Ted! Enjoy a little of the fun we had- HERE.
Yesterday, Andrew Marinkovich spent the day at Adam and Emily's house (thanks for letting me take over with all the gear). Adam, a cool designer, offered up his sweet digs and awesome wallpaper. James, probably the biggest dog I've ever seen, was chauffeured to the set by Dave Nelson (Secret Penguin). Check out Dave's behind the scenes footage of James going crazy on set when he didn't get the right kraft services. All the models rocked it- shout outs to Zoe, Bailey, Spencer, Karli, and Claire for all the great work in front of the camera! Sneak peak.
We were on our way back from a shoot in Grand Island and stopped over in York, NE to enjoy fine dinning at Chances R. We all ate way too much- topped off with some deadly carrot cake.
Thanks to Greg for taking us to his old stomping grounds and sharing this jem! We won't be eating for a couple days. If you're a Blue Cheese dressing connoisseur this is a must stop.
We had Goat Boy in the studio- Shooting for upcoming Omaha Community Playhouse show. Okay, it's not goat boy, but he could be related. Find out more info about the upcoming show.
This past weekend photographers Mike Malone, Geoff Johnson and Andrew Marinkovich hosted a workshop on how we flow here. We call it Fotoflo. Many thanks to all that attended-Shane and Erin Melenbacker, Lara Adkins, Megan Nosbish, Stacie Kinney, Ann Luchsinger, and OPS high school student Marty Lastovica.
Double thanks to our assistant Sam Carter who kept us on track throughout the day.
Yes, we agree...we work much better behind the camera than in front of one! But we wanted to share the fun anyway. See more images from the Crew shoot.
