my absence around here lately can be explained by this little fella, tommie, my first child born on the 7th of march weighing 6.1lbs
i just can't stop staring at him and grinning :D
i'm so proud of my girlfriend, she was fucking amazing through it all. i don't think i could go through that again, seeing the one you love in so much pain and being powerless to help.
it's worth it though.
for once i'm lost for words! i hope everyone is well and i can't wait to catch up on 2 weeks of uber next week.
oop--havent been on much for a few months--- CONGRATS!!!!! the baby is precious! (and the only reason that word comes to mind is because my literature teacher in france uses it alll the time....) Life is such a miracle the best of all things to three of you! I expect lots of photos to be posted!
Congratulations! I hope you're taking it in your stride My wife's due to have her first baby in about 10 weeks, and I'm crapping myself! Maybe you can share your tips with us... Really nice pictures too!
@carlos and baltazart:thanks :D @gonzom:hah hah, don't worry mate, i know what you mean ;) @cassie:my girlfriend is a midwife, she knows all the tricks, i'll see if she knows that one :D
He is a beautiful baby! Sleep! You will definitely need to get as much as possible. Congrats! I have two girls :-) p.s. vaseline cures diaper rash, don't use those crazy diaper creams, no lie, trust me!

@everyone again: thank you very much :D @rpolom:no mate, i couldn't wait to get the shots back from the lab, and my scanners a few hundred miles away, so i borrowed a little digital ;)
Congrats! I wish you and your new family all the love and happiness in this world. Nice pictures also by the way. With the Yashica? :) Get some rest and happy roads ahead!
CONGRADULATIONS!!!! I wish you all the happiness that life will bring to you, your girlfriend, and that wonderful little man Tommie. Life has just begun anew for you all, and it will be full of wonder again, as you and your girlfriend watch your son grow. Enjoy every moment as you are now a father and the world is in your hands. Oh, and welcome to the wonderful world of no slppe for at least the next 6 months.
Congratulations. I think that Stewart would have made a better name though! -Only joking. That's great news. Always good to see the next generation of potential photographers.
i thought it would be a good idea to try the new collaborative group blog tool out on something i've been thinking about for a while, what's everyones favourite photos of all time. i'm sure we have many and it's difficult to choose, but i'm interested in what you all like so i'll kick off.
this shot by neil leifer is of ali v williams, and the instant i saw it it became one of my favourites. his innovative use of a remote shutter release in the lighting gantry was possible because it was the first fight in the houston astrodome, and the lighting rig was 80ft up rather than the usual 20ft because of the sight lines for seating. genius, read all about it here.
hi, thanks a lot. sorry about the late reply! the guide to composition seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth! since the uber photography page had a revamp it's gone, which is a shame 'cos i tried showing it to someone last week :( maybe if you ask nhat (http://orangefunk.uber.com/) he'll add it back to the blog and give you a link or something? i accidentally wiped my access to it so can't even take a screen grab for you! hope you are well :D
I came accross your site via Mr Weeks's, via dA. Cool page man. You've got some really nice images goin' on. I look forward to reading and watching more often. Mark
Hi mate! I’ve been having problems getting my friend request to Uber Photography. Did you experience the same thing? Is this normal? Just thought I’d ask. Hope your doing well Take care!
beautiful photographs. the bw's especially. I really like those. and yeah, the dog with the compressed air is pretty funny. I am still trying to copy the sounds it makes.
Hey Christian- Set all your Photo folders to Public and this will correct the issues on your page. You may need to re-insert your page background, but you shouldn't have to. Some of your folders are definitely set to private, which is why you're getting that message on thumbnails too. Hope that helps!
No, I haven't developed my roll yet. I sent it to the lab only today and it'll take a couple of days before I get a CD... I'm really anxious to see it :) I used a delta 400. I'll let you know if anything worth while comes out of that.
