Well it’s that time again. Time for sippin’ a beverage and talkin’ photography. We’re gettin’ behind the glass…WITH a glass. And today my glass is filled with a very special cocktail. A cocktail made with love and one very special ingredient. I’m calling it the “Orange County Margartia.” It has 2.5 oz tequila, 1 oz lime juice, a couple dashes of agave syrup, and 2 ounce of delicious fresh-squeezed home-grown Orange County orange juice. It’s sweet, it’s tangy, and it’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a margarita. And while I’m nursing that drink, I’m going to speak photography things at you. I’ll be talking about the popularity of Kodak Portra 400, thoughts on positive vs negative film, how to keep the creative juices fresh, what to do if you’re suffering from GAS, and much more. I even let you in on my Carver hair-do secrets. It’s good times and good drinkin’. As always, thanks for watching, please drink responsibly, and here's to you - cheers!
