On Saturday the 20th my wife did her first triathlon. We loaded up about 4:45am with my best friend and another friend Richard and headed to the Tie Dye Tri in Norman Oklahoma. I think I was more nervous than she was and all I was doing is making sure she had what she needed and to take some photos at the event.

The other day I got to photograph local photographer Paul Wilkes. I will say it’s a little strange photographing someone that does what I do. Paul does some great work and knows his lighting. The whole time I was thinking in my head, I wonder what he would do different if I was the subject. I also wondered if he was like man this is lame.
Whatever we both were thinking I still had a good time. He was super easy to work with and I will give him credit on a few shots where he gave a little input on the position of one of my lights. Next time maybe we will have a little more time and be able to do some outside stuff. Be sure to check out his site
Thanks Paul, I look forward to next time.
A few favorites.

I was recently talking with a friend about people taking photos from his site and posting them on their site, myspace and facebook with no credit back to him. I agreed with him that is was messed up that people were doing that. I mean come on, how hard is it to type the photographer or artist’s name or maybe even a link back to show them a little love.
I think that if you want an image or artwork from someone you should just email them and ask or if you decide to do the right click save method then you should give them credit. That way if or when they come across an image or artwork that is yours you will see that they have given you the respect you deserve.
I know this will always go on and it will be a hard to stop but it is just lame that some people are disrespectful like that. If it was my artwork or photography I would be a little upset. Maybe because I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
