Paulo Jordao Photography - BLOG

Most of people know me as a Wedding and Event Photographer, but I also like to work with commercial, models and pets.

Not to long ago, I started getting some unusual requests to go to people events as a PERSONAL PAPARAZZI. You got it right… They pay me to go to their event and make they look like some big Hollywood Star. Not just that, but they want to have fun while a professional photographer follow them on their special event.

Tonight I was invited to go to UNCOMMON GALLERY (commercial blvd.) for a Book Signing Event (Book- The Empty Cup Runneth Over). Cindy Papale (Author and Breast Cancer Survivor) is a Facebook Friend of mine, so I thought that would be fun go there a “la Paparazzi Style”.

I didn’t bring any Paparazzi Backdrop or Red Carpet (as I usually do to some of my events), but it was fun to help her with some promotional shots.

Here are some pictures from her event:

I would like to post a special thanks to:

- Cindy Papale (author)

- Michael Colanero (gallery owner)

- Emily Cook (miss university of Miami)

One year ago,  I wrote a post on my blog about how disapointed I was with prices and services of one specific airline company: http://paulopics.com/blog/2008/03/22/more-bad-news-about-spirit-airlines/

Now, one year latter, it is even worse. Not just that airline company, but almost all Airline Companies in US started using the same low standard quality services and with extra charges for everything.

I’ve wrote that post, because I was upset that Spirit Airlines had charged me $20 to bring my luggage on board. At the time, I argue that it was irrational and probably even illegal to do that. What would stop them to start charging for everything else, even to go to the restroom?

Today, I just saw on the NEWS that some airline companies started doing exactly that (charging to go to the restroom).

Do you still think that I was wrong complaining about that?

It will not take to long to them start charging for our caring-on luggage… you will see!!!

Good luck to all of us!!!

This weekend I was shooting some gorgeous images with few other photographers at TYE (Fort Lauderdale).

Here are some of the images.
