His current show, “Deeper Shades of House” can be heard twice a week nationwide and has recently gained worldwide syndication. “Deeper Shades of House” is a weekly showcase of Lars’ versitile but selective musical range.

By the way, it looks like the video was shot in the Beautiful Borough of Brooklyn. What could be sweeter than that? Les Nubians and Brooklyn! Perfect.

Space Shuttle Endeavour, originally uploaded by larddesigns.

I don’t know about you guys, but the space shuttle is just amazing to me, it has always been. I guess seeing this picture just renewed my sense of awe. Sometimes I just think about the amazing things that we have accomplished as Americans; like, the space shuttle, the internet, single handedly ruining the world’s economy while at the same time fighting an unwinable two pronged war in a country we have no business going to in the first place. What do we do for an encore?!

Last week I attended the Atlanta Photography Meetup’s photo shootout, and my camera hasn’t cooled down yet!  Thanks to Simplephoto.com and Professional Photo Resources (PPR) for sponsoring the event, it was incredible.  This event was a smorgasborg of photography, models and studio lighting.  They had about 20 models and about 24 photographers.  The good people at PPR had three stations setup with different lighting.  Basically, the photographers and models  would rotate through the stations so that you had equal time with each model at each station.  When you weren’t shooting, in the studio you could go outside and shoot.  Also, Eric from simplephoto provided food, snacks and BEER.  Yes, BEER.  I love beer.  At any rate, check out the pics above and if you want to see the rest of them, visit my flickr page, here. 

Also, I’d like to thank all the models that participated, you were excellent, especially under those hot tungsten lights, I know it was hard.  So big ups to all the models!  You guys were fantastic.  Also thanks to all the folks at Simplephoto.com and PPR, you guys really know how to put on an event.  All you aspiring pro photographers out there should definitely check out PPR and Simplephoto.com.  PPR has awesome studio space for rent with reasonable prices, they also rent equipment from bodies to lenses, flashes and accesories. (by the way PPR is having a free lighting seminar on March, 8th; rsvp here before its too late!)  Simplephoto is a cool resource as well and allows you to easily sell photos and create photo packages online.  So defiantly check ‘em out.  Kudos to all the photographers who came out as well, I thought my pictures were great until I saw some of you guys images, great work!  And please keep me in the loop about upcoming events!

 If you wanna join the Atlanta Photo Meetup, you can do so by signing up here.  I’ll see you guys at the lighting seminar in March, Have fun and keep shooting!

The lobby of the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta looks like something
straight out of a science fiction movie! The outside of the hotel looks
rather mundane, as do the interior of the rooms (I was thoroughly
underwhelmed). But the lobby?!? I was awestruck, no doubt. The lobby is
incredible.
