Dear Sandisk [FAIL]

 

Dear Sandisk,


I accidently stumbled upon a new method for formatting my compact flash cards the other day.  The cards certainly are clean however my initial reports still favor formatting with a traditional method.  While your "Extreme" series cards certainly are robust and ultra fast for read / write speeds, they are certainly no match for my washing machine.   I am off to the store to purchase more of your fine products.

Cheers.

Update Your Rolodex! [I'm stupid and we have a new web address]

Well I guess I missed the renewal and cancellation notices for my domain www.dormanphotography.com... now Godaddy.com wants me to buy back the domain name for quite a steep fee... suits me right for having the notices go to an email address other than my primary, FTL...well I have other ideas...

Now announcing our brand new domain name *drumroll*.........  WWW.BRAD-DORMAN.COM.  Please take a few minutes to update your bookmarks and let anyone else know who might be interested.  It may take a bit to be live, but it should be directing you here within the next 24 hours.

Cheers!

Brad.

Where's Dorman?

To be more specific, where has Dorman been?  This is just a quick blog post to bring you up to speed with what I've been working on the past couple of months and what is coming up.

The East Coast Classic

In July I had the pleasure of travelling down to Digby Pines Golf Resort for the East Coast Classic Golf Tournament.  For those who don't know the ECC is a charity golf tournament that brings in many corporate teams, celebrities, and sponsors to raise money for Sport Nova Scotia.  I spent four days photographing the resort, the teams, the golf action, and the awards and entertainment banquets.   It was a pleasure working with Paul & Leanne from Studio 11 on the newsletter and media.  I hope to have images up however we are still working around some potential sponsorship conflicts.

I Got Hitched!

For those of you unaware my time and focus for the past year or so had been on my wedding.   On August 15th I married my longtime girlfriend Janice in her hometown of Antigonish (which is where we met).  Everything was flawless except for the weather... don't get me wrong it was a beautiful day, but unfortunately for me (pale red haired Irish fella) it was the hottest day of the year - a balmy 37 degrees and I get pretty wilted in the heat!

It was a very different experience being on the other side of the camera for a change but my good friend Tom England made it easy for us.  The bride was of course stunning, however I think even my ugly mug might come out alright in the photos!  

Now that life is getting back to normal for us I'll be photographing and blogging much more often.

Fall Weddings

I have two awesome fall weddings coming up, so stay tuned for some blog goodness from those.  

Gail & Trevor are getting married in Brooklyn next weekend - I went to highschool with Gail so I'm expecting a bit of a mini-reunion + a great time all around.  Looking out my window right now I can see all the leaves have changed - we should have some awesome backgrounds & locations.

I got a call from Stacie & Rick to capture their day on October 17th.  They are coming from Ontario for an intimate east coast wedding.  I'm stoked to shoot their ceremony aboard one of the tall ships - let's hope none of my camera gear decides to go for a swim!

It wouldn't be much of a photo blog without some images so here is some recent work:
