destination:vegas.

it's that time of year...where we pack up and head out west. where to you might ask? well LAS VEGAS of course!  i can't believe it, but it's been a year already and that means it's time for WPPI!  and we couldn't be MORE excited to get there, see some awesome friends, meet some new ones, laugh, learn, oh, the list just goes on and ON!  we're getting all of the last minute stuff (or crap as i'm now referring to it! LOL!) together and packed up, weighing our luggage (mine will be *close* but i think it'll be under 50lbs.!), and printing out boarding passes!  we've been so lucky and have made some really amazing & lifelong friends at this show, and really, what could be better?!?!  if you see us walking around, MAKE SURE YOU STOP and say "hi!" we'll be doing the same thing!!

SPEAKING of the SHOW...make sure you ALL take time to stop by gary fong's booth this year!  robbie will be there answering questions (and r. is pretty awesome with this stuff, he is EXCELLENT at explaining!) as you all know, gary has been such a pioneer in making great products for photographers, so swing by the booth and check it all out!  there is also going to be a HUGE giveaway this year at the booth, make sure to stop by the booth to get ALL the info and stay updated by clicking *HERE!!!!!*  trust me, you won't want to miss out on this!!!

AND...we're also going to be helping out at a few booths this year, so now you MUST come say "hi!"  we'll be hanging out on tuesday from 11am-12pm at the H20 | CREATIVE booth, #1001 with our awesome friends ben & laura harrison.  they just launched these amazing SEO tutorials & of course they're ROCKING InDesign album templates (which we LOVE!) so make sure you stop by to say "hi!" and check out both the tutorials & templates!

 

we wish you ALL who are traveling out to the show safe travels and we'll SEE YOU GUYS THERE!!!!

working on a dream.

Attached to the Gund Arena in Cleveland is giant mall called Tower City. It was there, prior to a Cavs game, that I purchased my first Bruce Springsteen album. I’m guessing this was circa 1995…I made my dad listen to it all the way home, which was a two hour car ride, and didn’t let up on that CD well into my college years; it’s wonder the thing still plays.

For over a year now, I’ve been negotiating to get the opportunity to photograph the Boss for the distinguished Backstreets Magazine, but things just haven’t lined up with our travel schedules. If there is one thing you’ll learn about me, is that I will find a way to do something I truly want to do. Photographing Bruce Springsteen, you could say, was on my Bucket List.

A couple of weeks ago, I got THE call.

Fittingly, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band were performing at the, newly renamed, Quicken Loans Arena; the same place where I bought my first album (some 15 years ago).

I’m one of those people who considers some music a “religious” experience. With songs like “The Rising”, “Working On A Dream”, and “Born To Run”, it’s impossible not to feel the magnitude and brilliance of Bruce Springsteen…live!

Bruce and Max.

email requests.

hi friends : )

i'm sorry to report that we've been experiencing some email issues with our info@openFieldphotography.comaccount.  if you have recently sent us an inquiry, chances are we have NOT received it.  we are SO very sorry about this, and have been working on getting it fixed at once.  if you've written us at the info account with either a question or a new client inquiry and you have not gotten a response back from either myself or robbie, please try and re-send your email, it looks like we have not been getting emails for about the last week or so.

thanks for being so understanding and we look forward to hearing from you all soon!
