In addition to the previous post.

Let’s not fool ourselves here. They are speaking to their believers, and the Democratic convention was speaking to theirs. There’s no way I’m going to vote for McCain, and there’s no way some of my friends are going to vote for Obama. The rhetoric of the other side’s candidate and campaign will always piss you off. You really have to make the conscious choice, ‘Am I going to let myself get unnecessarily aggravated?’

I’ve been making updates to the William Bragg Photography site, and would love some feedback. One issue I’ve noticed is that the site doesn’t seem to load all the photos in each portfolio unless I resize the browser window. There should be 12 images in each portfolio (People 1, People 2, Music). So feedback about the site operability as well as comments about the photos themselves are very welcome. Thanks so much!

“A Celebration of The Perfect Portrait”. Words cannot describe.

We got back early Saturday afternoon. The trip was a complete blast. Jim Normandy rocks! The club was great. The band was great. Lighting was a bitch, but I got some good shots. While it’s all rock and roll, it’s not always glamorous. The drive was long. We ate fast food and drank bad coffee, and got stuck in horrendous traffic both ways. And one of my favorite shots of the night came when Jim was doing business in his “office”.

(Yup, in the truck in the back parking lot. You do what you gotta do.)

More shots after the jump.

I’ve been hired by Jim Normandy of Normandy Guitars® to accompany him up to Tacoma to photograph backstage and the show of Duff McKagan’s Loaded. I remember Duff mostly from his time in Guns & Roses, and Velvet Revolver.

Should be a great gig. More later.

According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was therefore not tortured.

Cheney denies that McCain was tortured; as does Bush. So do John Yoo and David Addington and George Tenet.

Sorry for the straight link re-post. I’m wicked busy, but I should have something to talk about/announce tomorrow.

From a recent photoshoot:

A friend of mine made a great comment in my previous post. A little clarification - both of these posts represent the new promo cards, but the cards in reality are of higher resolution and larger physical size (approx 5×7). The two below are printed on one card on opposite sides, and are intended to be handed out. They try to represent a sense of my style.

The one represented here is considered more of a mailer with the goal of instigating a desire to check me out. As below, comments are much appreciated.

Some new promo cards for my photography:

I’d be interested in your comments.

I’ve been crazy busy for the last couple of weeks. I wish I could say that it was for all new and exciting projects, but unfortunately that’s not the case. It’s been mostly maintenance and organizing. In fact I survived one real scary event of losing a number of files. Thankfully, I’ve been keeping regular backups.

But there has been some new and very positive developments in my photographic existence over this same time period. More on that later.

One element of housekeeping that I wanted to mention is that I have a new phone number. If I haven’t already notified you of the new number (all 3 of you who read this blog), leave a comment or send me an e-mail.
