I just finished working on the pictures that I took yesterday of Orioles - Spring Training at Fort Lauderdale Stadium. There were so many players there that would be hard to write about all them or post all the pictures of the Major Players here.

But anyway … I wasn’t there to watch the game or any Major Player. My mission was to take some pictures and video of one of their Spring Training Invitee (Matt Wieters).

If you haven’t heard about him yet, don’t worry, you will hear about him pretty soon. He is one of the most promising Orioles Spring Training Invitee.

But don’t take my word on that!!!

STACK media, which is the nation’s leading producer and distributor of sports performance, training and lifestyle content for high school athletes and high school sports community, flew their Managing Director (Rachel Trem) just to have an interview 1 on 1 with Wieters.

Not just that, but the Brand Manager of Under Armour (Colin Clark) and his Associate Marketing Manager-Footwear (Michael Cutting) were there also to support Matt Wieters.

I am not a baseball expert… but the people that I just mentioned before flew between 3 to 5 hours each way in a single day, just to spend few hours with Matt.

I was told that Matt will be a big plus for whatever Major League Team. I hope that he stays here with our ORIOLES.

I’ve created just two Photo Collages of this game and meeting, but you can check in few weeks more pictures and the video of Matt Wieters at www.stack.com.

This last picture shows the Videographer John Lorence (that was shooting fom my company - Paulo Photography & Video) recording Rachel Tream (STACK) interviewing Mat Wieters.

I wanted to post some of the pictures that I took today of “Baltimore Orioles” at Fort lauderdale Stadium, but is already 2:55 am and I still have to select the best ones, edit, make a nice Collage. So, I promise you that tomorrow I will write a post about my day at the training game and all about this new Player that is one of the promises for the 2008 season.

So… Tomorow (FEB-28), first in the morning, you can come and check all about this player and some shots that I took at the stadium. OK!

Let me go to bed!!

See you tomorrow…

I do like cats, but I can say that “I am a Dog person“.

Years ago I adopted a Yellow Lab from Human Society. Since the beginning he (Max) was a great dog. He was so great and beautiful that I decided to make him a model.

Peggy, my wife, is a Professional Stylist for big Catalog Companies (she is responsible for creating the set, so the photographer can take the picture that you see inside the catalogs).

We decided to create few different sets with different props and come with a Greeting Card Line.

We have a collection of 30 cards, but we would love to have some strong representative so we would have Max Cards all over America.

Here are few of the pictures.

Yes!!! He is wearing all the costumes. He is very good on that.

Let me know what you think! Leave a comment.

After two days going out and staying wake until 4:00 am, I decided that today I was just stay home and relax.

Few hours ago I came to the computer to finish a Wedding Album that I have to deliver in two weeks, and after that I started watching some of the DVD Tutorials that I have of Scott Kelby, and I decided to play a little bit (trying few of his techniques) here on my computer.

Since I still have the file of my friend’s party at Ouzo’s South Beach (Click Here to read the post) on my computer, I just got one of the pictures that I like to play with it for a wile.

I want to thank Scott Kelby for the tips and Nicolas for the great Party.

This is to Nicolas… SALUTE!!!

Party, Party and Party… Wow!!!

Yesterday I went to that Videographers association Meeting (Click Here to read about that post) and today I just came from a friend’s birthday at OUZO’S, a South Beach Mediterranean Bistro.

Lisa and Gigi own the place, and Nicolas (birthday boy) is Gigi’s brother.

The place is a nice and intimate restaurant that specializes in Mediterranean food.

Ohhhh myyyyy…

What else can I say? The food was delicious and the service was perfect. If you live here in South Florida, or if you are here on Vacation, take the time to visit the place. You will love it!

I took quite a few group shots of Nicolas’ friends, but unfortunately I had to select just some of them for my Photo Collage. Hey… I even got in some shots this time. Can you find me there?

As always… Leave a comment. OK?

Thanks!

Few years ago I joined a GROUP of Videographers (South Florida Professional Videoartist Association). We have our meetings every third Wednesday of the month at 1700 NW 66 Ave    Suite 100 Plantation, FL 33313.

I have to say that that I am impressed with our president (Danny). He always work extra hard to make sure that every month we have more and more Professional Videographers (VIDEO ARTIST) coming to our meetings.

I enjoy going to the meetings, there I can exchange some ideas and new techniques with the TOP Videographers of South Florida.

Yesterday we had a group of more than 40 people… THAT WAS GREAT!!!

Ed Sherry (JVC) and Garvin Beharry (VIDEOSCOPE) were the speakers for the night. They were showing us the latest cameras and accessories of the moment. Have people like them coming to our association makes the meetings a lot more dinamic and interesting.

After the meeting, around ten (10) of us went to a close little sport bar for some dinner and exchange few more ideas.

Here is the deal…

I can certainly say that the Videographers from our association are the best that South Floridat has to offer, and if for any reason I’m not available to shoot your event personally… You need to contact any of our professionals to be there for you. You don’t want take the chance with another “Professional” that is not from our association. Believe me!!!

Here is a little Photo Collage that I did with few pictures that I took yesterday.

PS. If you noticed… I am not in the pictures… I was the Photographer… LOL!!!

Hey… if you liked the Collage or have something to add about this post, please leave a comment. OK?

Thanks!

Let me show you a cool wedding video!!!

Last week I went to a one year birthday of a friend’s son. That was a cool party, with clowns, music, etc…

At the party, I saw Sirlene and Gustavo (I shot their wedding few months ago). My company (Paulo Photography & Video) was responsible for the Photographer and Videographer and I remember how their wedding was fun and that I had a great time shooting it.

I always do the editing of the Pictures and Video myself.

I don’t have their pictures anymore in my computer to show to you, but I was looking into my files here, and I found their Video Highlights. It is a fun and short video showing the best moments of their Wedding.

CLICK HERE to open their Video!

I hope that you like it.

After you watch it, please leave a comment below. OK?

So… Last week I decided to buy 2 more domain names at GoDady.com, and I also decided change the company that hosts my paulopics.com.

I found this great deal at Hostgator.com so I could have many domain names using just one account. That would be perfect for what I was looking for.

The problem is that I don’t like to wait forever for other people to do their job (most of the time too SLOW). So I bought these 2 new domain and transfer the other one to Godady, and I also signed with Hostgator.

NOW WHAT?

Since I didn’t have to much help trying to triangulate information between the 3 companies (Godady, Hostgator and GATE), I decided at least start the process of changing by myself.

I went to Godady and changed the “Name Server” from my old GATE to new HOSTGATOR.

That went quite well (easy… I thought). Just to learn on the next day that my page was off-line.

I didn’t know that I was supposed to wait 24 to 48 hours to Hostgator transfer my files and DATBASE from GATE, and since I had changed the codes… You can imagine what a mess!!!

They finally got all the files. My page was on-line again, but how about my BLOG?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Wordpress… but it was impossible to get the database from my old server. And since I didn’t have the patience to wait the two companies get on the same page, I just decided forget my old posts and start a new blog from the beginning.

I just want to apologize to any people that come to my blog and don’t find the old posts here anymore. If you want to see any pictures from any old post, I still have them here in my computer… I just don’t have the post.

I hope that you don’t make the same mistake. OK?

Let me know (comments) if you also had some similar experience!

Paulo

Hi… I have to apologize for the problem with my BLOG. I am changing my Host Company and for some reason they couldn’t locate my “DATABASE”. Anyway… I am starting this new Post from scratch just to let you know where to find Tami and Brian’s Wedding Online Proofs:
