I’m still pondering.

As of yet I haven’t found the appropriate direction I would like to take for this blog. I do have my other blog that is more directed towards my wedding photography business.

Now for this blog, can I turn it into a tips and resource page for wedding photographers? Can I use this blog to describe certain techniques I use during the weddings I photograph? I still have to figure it all out…..

A wedding photographer’s fear.

All wedding photographers share a fear, the fear of his or hers equipment being stolen during the course of a wedding day. Unfortunately in reality this happens, and it has happened recently. You can read the entire story here.

Are you annoyed with this?

Ok I’ve grown extremely tiresome of this little critter. What can we all do about it? Now I see him all over bus ads. Please give it a rest already.

Armed and Dangerous

Well between Sony announcing a new DSLR and this book, I can just picture the next wave of wannabe wedding photographers. Well since the book hasn’t been published I’m not able to review it, but I can only imagine what the book has to say. I also belive it’s going to leave the impression on how easy wedding photography may be. Person buys book, person shoots friends wedding on Sunday. Person decides to call himself a professional wedding photographer Monday morning. Oh well what are you going to do.

I’m a daddy of a nano

So I finally came into the 21st century and decided to pick up a 4GB ipod nano. The thing is way cool and I’m loving it. Now all I have to do is get some music for it. Lol. Just sharing some pictures, soon you'll be seeing me jogging with the thing, not......

Another wet weekend in New York

Well I have a Greek Orthodox christening to photograph this Sunday and guess what, it’s supposed to rain, again….

It has rained on me every single weekend thus far making me move all my outdoor formals indoors, what a bummer. Well I hope the wedding I have coming up will be a dry and sunny day, I hope…..

My website is being moved

Ok folks I have an update for you, my current webhost has informed me that my website Photography By Christos is scheduled to be moved to new server hardware on 7/12/06.

This may or may not affect our online ordering and proofing system oh yeah and let’s not forget about Christos Blog

If you login to our systems after 7/13/06 and are experiencing a problem please let me know. My webhost has assured my that everything will be fine, I hope. But after all I’m sure you all know technology. It’s kind of like the VCR clock that keeps blinking 12:00, 12:00, 12:00

I apologize for any inconvenience this transition may cause you.

So does this blog stuff actually work?

So how does all this blog stuff really work? That is the question I’m asking myself today. How can this blog help my wedding photography business? Why you ask, well its simple I have no idea what I’m doing, lol…..

I actually run two blogs, one on blogger and one on my own website. http://blog.photographybychristos.com I’m wondering which one or which way is better. Does it make any sense in updating and operating two blogs? Well those are the questions that I’m actually looking into resolving today. So if anybody is actually reading this stuff leave me a comment. I’m interested in what people have to say about blogging.

Photography By Christos Now Offers Videography

Update:  I just wanted to inform you all that Ellopia Media Group is no longer a recommended vendor.

Christos search for a videographer is finally over. I’m pleased to announce that Christos has partnered with Ellopia Media Group as the preferred vendor for videoagraphy.

Athina the CEO and founder of Ellopia Media Group is an award winning documentarian, that compliments Christos style of photography. Personally I’m overjoyed by this and I believe that this relationship will benefit the Greek weeding couples in New York.

Boy do I have a lot to say about this. I will post more information later for you.

PS. I know I’m referring to myself in a third person, I swear I’m not crazy. It’s all done for search engines placement. I want Christos and Photography By Christos to appear on the first page of all search engines. I swear… LOL

Feeling a bit under the weather.

Well folks it’s been a slow blog week because I’ve been feeling a bit ill. So just an update on this past Saturday’s Greek wedding, well it rained. But I have to hand it to the wedding couple they were in great spirits and the pictures turned out awesome. I have yet to go through and edit them, but I would like to post one of my favorites thus far. I like this picture so much that I decided to make it my home page image at Photography By Christos

As for Sunday well I had the day off so it was a perfect time to take my oldest son to see the Disney movie Cars. The movie was great, I think I enjoyed the movie more then my son. I will be posting more updates soon. So I will see you all then.

Wow talk about a wedding dress

I can’t get enough of this. You have to check out the below link, to sum it all up.

It cost 25,000 pounds, about $45,510 wow
Weighs oh 25 stone, what are those Brits thinking actually its 350lbs for the rest of us…
It’s 8 feet wide
The train is 60 feet long
The tulle is 30 layers deep
It has 3,000 Swarovski crystals
And it took 9.5 hours to get into.

Hmmmm I’m sure there is a priceless joke in here.

Photo Cart by Pictures Pro

I'm often asked by other photographers how I like Photo Cart by Pictures Pro. Well I can't say enough good things about it.

For those that don't know Photo Cart is an online ordefulfillmentnt for professional photographers that runs on your own website.

It simply is the best product in its class, so if you don't actually mind handling the print orders yourself Photo Cart is the answer for you as well.

Think of it like this, look at all the money you will be saving by not using those other sites that charge upload fees, high commissions and all that other stuff that comes out of your pocket. So visit Pictures Pro and try out the demo version of Photo Cart. And then when you are ready to order give Tim a call and tell him Christos sent ya.
