If you were waiting for another Photowalk here in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Palm Beaches area, this is the event that you were waiting for.
On August 23, 2008 9:00 am, we are going to have our “PHOTOWALK FORT LAUDERDALE 2″ in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea = Commercial and A1A = (click here for the route). We are organizing this Photowalk joining forces with Scott Kelby on the attempt to have 100 cities around the world having a Photowalk on the same day. Scott thought that would be really cool idea to do something different to celebrate the release of his new book Lightroom 2.
South Florida has so many different and beautiful places to do a Photowalk that it was hard to pick only one location for this event. I chose Lauderdale-By-The-Sea area because of its history, the beautiful beach, easy parking and one of the most beautiful and well preserved pier where people come to enjoy the great view and the opportunity to fish.
The location is also well known for its great bars and restaurants with all kind of foods and drinks.
If you join us for this Photowalk, you will have a great opportunity to take some of the most amazing pictures of the streets and the surroundings of that area, and you will also have an incredible opportunity to get some great shots of beautiful people at the beach, surfing, diving, fishing and etc.
You might also have the opportunity of meeting different people, including few of the most renamed Photographers of South Florida.
Remember that this is a FREE event but we are asking you to Sign In so we can have a better control of how many people are coming. OK? (Click Here to Sign In)
Let’s have some fun together. I am waiting for you!!!
This weekend I went to the beach in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea (North of Broward), to check the place where I want to organize my next Photowalk (coming in August).
I got some nice shots there, but today I just want to show you some pictures that I took of a 5 Feet Tall SHARK that Died in South Florida Hot Water.

Most of my clients know me as a Wedding Photographer, and it is fair to say that 80% of my photography work is shooting weddings.
When Anna asked me to take some Pregnancy Portraits of her, I knew that I would have to give my best to don’t let her photos look like another boring pregnancy picture that you find all the time on the Internet.
I wanted her photo session to look like something artistic, romantic and sensual.
Here are few of the pictures that I wanted to show you.
Do you believe on the saying; “One picture can say more than a thousand words“?
If there was a single picture that could describe the beauty of a Pregnant Woman, I would have to say that the picture that I am showing below would be the one.
When Anna asked me last week to take some Pregnancy Pictures of her on the beach, the only thing that came to my mind was that I needed to make her session my personal challenge.
It would have to be a Photo Session so beautiful that wouldn’t only inspire me as an artist, but it would translate the beauty of a Pregnant Woman with only one click of my camera.
You might think that I am crazy, and that I just took this shot.
No!
She asked me to take few different shots and I wanted to try few different posses too. All together, we got so many good pictures that for sure I am creating one Pregnancy Sample Album for me using just her pictures.
Anyway, I might finish editing the other pictures in one or two days. Whenever I am done, I will post few more pictures of here session here.
“HERE ARE MY THOUSAND WORDS!!!”
If you want your Pregnancy Photo Session taken by a Top International Photographer, leave a comment below and I will contact you as soon as possible.
But even if you don’t need a photographer, I would love to read your comments anyway.
Today the PPGF Association (Photographers) had a great family barbecue at John U. Lloyd Beach State Park. Ok… It was more a Picnic than a barbecue, but since we are in America… let’s say that it was a barbecue. OK?
Everything was perfect; a lot of people from our association showed up with their families. My wife and my son (Peggy and Ryan) came with me, so we could have some good time together.
As I said, everything was great; good food, great people and a perfect weather. What else can you ask for?
Here are some more pictures of our beautiful day. Enjoy it!
I just had a great seminar tonight about Family Portrait with Tammy Griffin (from Ocala, FL).
I would like to say an extra thanks to the people of PPGF for this great seminar and all the great prizes.
The topic was “Family Portrait”, including how to manage a home based photography studio”.
As you might know, 90% of my business is Wedding Photography, but once a while I break this rule and try to accommodate some clients that need me to help them with some other events (Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, Sweet Sixteen or even some Portraits).
I loved the way that Tammy explained how she runs her home based photography business, and how she interacts with her clients.
If you live close to Ocala, and need a Photographer, I would recommend you contacting Tammy before you talk to any other photographer in the area. You are not going to regret it.
On the other hand, if you live here in South Florida, just give me a call and I will try to help you with your next Photography Project (events, portraits and etc) the best as I can. All depends on how busy my schedule would be for that period.
If for some reason I can not be your photographer, I will personally help you to find another photographer in this area. OK?
If you are a woman, and you decided that your New Year’s Resolution would be loosing some weight or start going to the gym, here is one more reason to come to our GOLD’S GYM Hollywood, FL.
Yesterday morning I had a Photo Shoot Session with Preston. He works every morning at the front desk of our GOLD’S GYM.
We had so many good shots, but I still have to edit few of them… Here is just one of the shots that we did yesterday. Let me know what you think. OK?
Yesterday, I wrote a post showing a Video (Click Here to Watch the Video) of Stefano’s First Birthday, that happened one year ago.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have to much time to edit any of the pictures to ad to that post, so today I am doing that.
Last year, Stefano’s party was great, and so was the party yesterday. A lot of balloons, food, drinks, a giant ELMO, and a Clown doing some face painting.
I want to thank Mariane and Carillo (Stefano’s parents) for inviting me to be part of Stefano’s special day. I also want to thank Carol for helping me with the photos.
Here are some of the shots that I selected to post here (if you want to see al the pictures taken, please write a comment below with your email address, so I can send the link where the other pictures will be posted)
Carillo was ready to his son’s party.
Look how happy Mariane was watching Stefano playing with his golf cart.
Gramdpa couldn’t hide his excitement.
Grandma and Grandpa came from Brazil just for the birthday… Hey… You guys look to cool to be grandma and grandpa.
Did I mention that the party theme was: Elmo’s World?
She did a great job painting the kid’s faces
Sorry everybody, but I have to say that… This is my 1st place of the day… What a great picture!!!
This is a picture of Mariane’s Family… Such great people. Did I mention that they came from Brazil just for this birthday?

But if you don’t want to see all the pictures from this birthday…
You can still write a comment saying how much you love me…
One year ago I was hired to cover this amazing birthday. Stefano was celebrating his 1st birthday, and he had the best party ever.
Today is July 11th, and Stefano will be celebrating his 2nd birthday. I am glad to say that once more, I will be there to help him saving some little, but important memories for generations to come.

Before you start reading to deep into this post or watching the following video, I want to say something important…
This is a very creative video that will teach you 101 tips for short-cuts in Photoshop. If you don’t know what Photoshop is, or you don’t care about the short-cuts, you might not enjoy this video as much as I did. But, if you like Photoshop, go ahead and get a pen and paper… You are going to need it.
This is a Music Video, more like a Video-Clip (MTV style), that will certainly help you with your Photoshop skills.
Enjoy it!
I would love to know what you think about this post.
4th of July is a very important Holiday, maybe the most important American Holiday.
Today, even if is just for today, I want you to forget if you are Democrat or Republican, if you leave on East or West Coast, I want you to forget if you are Rich or Poor, and I don’t care what country you were born, because today we are Americans.
Today I want to see you smiling… because I will be smiling back at you!!!
Today I want you to give me your hand… because I’m coming to shake yours!!!
Tonight I want you to stand proud at the first blast of the fireworks and remember…
… Today is our INDEPENDENCE DAY!
HAPPY 4th of JULY
