Salute to Winter

It has been a memorable winter and I have enjoyed many outings with good friends. I might put some more skiing photos up at a later date. Here's one from last week.

Left Overs - Part 3

For those who didn't catch the explanation of the "left over" series, basically what I am doing is going back through each wedding from 2006 and trying to find that one image that slipped through the BLOG crack. I'll be posting one image from each wedding that isn't on the BLOG. If you want to see the blog posting for a wedding click on their name above the photo.

Vibe 98.5 Dream Wedding Contest Winner

This morning the Vibe 98.5 Morning Show announced the winner of the $98,000 Dream Wedding contest on the air. It was way, way, way, too early in the morning for me and pretty cold, but somehow I managed to find the camera's on switch and point the thing in the right direction.

The lucky couple is Julie and Anthony. I didn't get to talk to them much, but they are coming up for a visit with Lynn and Melisa from Table Talk tomorrow after they stop in at Cameo and Cufflinks to get sized for their wedding attire. You can learn more about the couple on the Vibe contest site.

Here are a few of the photos from this morning:

What thousands of contestants were hoping to see pull up in front to their house.


Chad on the air greeting the winners.








I thought it was pretty funny that they got up really early to clean their house just in case they won.





Lynn Martin with Table Talk on the air. Isn't she so cute?





In the studio with the Vibe Morning Show crew. Left to right: Chad Martin, Julie and Anthony, Kelsey Moore, and Fuzzy. Kelsey admitted that she is a maudieblog-aholic. Thanks Kelsey.

Left Overs - Part II

For those who didn't catch the explanation of the "left over" series, basically what I am doing is going back through each wedding from 2006 and trying to find that one image that slipped through the BLOG crack. I'll be posting one image from each wedding that isn't on the BLOG. If you want to see the blog posting for a wedding click on their name above the photo.

Left Overs - Part 1

I have created a monster! It is called "maudieblog". What started as an easy way of keeping friends, family and clients current with new photography has become a site over 10,000 different people visited (not repeat) in 2006. We now get email from all over the place, from people we have never met, commenting on photos from the BLOG . The problem now though is that if I go more than a week without posting I start to hear about it. It is usually friends reminding me I haven't posted for a while, but sometimes its complete strangers, more or less suggesting that I should update the BLOG. I love it.

So here is the dilemma. All I am photographing right now is skiing. I would love to put a bunch of skiing photos up, but very few people want to see skiing photos, they want portraits and wedding photography (maybe we need another BLOG). So the question is, how do I feed this monster? The answer - left overs!

Here is what I plan on doing this month. I am going to go through all of the 2006 weddings and find my favourite photo from each wedding that isn't on the BLOG. It will be like the deleted scenes on a DVD. I am going to follow a chronological order. I'll try and post a few each week. Here are the first 5 weddings.
