Changing the world ...

Had a great coffee with my man JZ as he gets ready to change the world in Belfast this fall ... he inspires me to invest every moment of my life with intention ... without taking myself too seriously ... so good!

I created this little collage yesterday for my clients and figured I could probably benefit from running it by a few colleagues before I went live with it. So, I asked for some advice from some friends at OSP and Pictage.

Less than 24 hours later almost 50 busy pro photographers have responded online, almost 500 have checked it out and tons more have sent personal emails.

I love you guys! You all are what working in this business is about!! Dinner's on me next time we get together :-) - Count on it! Thanks everyone! I am blown away.

Hey everybody!

I've been working on a little project all morning and am stoked to get it done so I can get out and enjoy this amazing Santa Barbara weather. You can check it out by emailing a test email to away@danesanders.com. That'd be sweet. I'd love to hear what you think!!

For those of you checking in from the forum ... thanks a ton! You guys are fantastic. I can't wait to read all your posts in the "comments" section here on the blog and/or at the forum.

Again, thanks and have a great day :-)!

I was hanging with my buddy David Jay as his mom and dad helped him move into his sweet new digs. His studio rocks! Congrats DJ!

So cool ...

I was meeting at Fenestra with my friend Janee today about her wedding and wanted to show her how the whole moblog thing worked. I couldn't resist upgrading my site with an on-the-go picture from my Treo 650. So fun ... Cheers Nee!

I shot a wedding a few weeks ago in Palm Springs. It was the same location that Joe Buissink shot Christina Applegate's wedding. Needless to say, it was an amazing location.

What was better than the spot though was the couple. Chrissy's dress reflected the whole day for she and Boe. It was just perfect.

IJM Rocks!

So, I'm shooting this fantastic wedding over the weekend in Texas and my assistant, Tim Halberg, decides to go on a "chimp hunt" at the rehearsal and here's what he came up with ... He's clearly got too much time on his hands! For more on chimping, check out chimping.com!

It was a gorgeous wedding! Dabney and Kelly were amazing to work with. I'll post some images from the weekend in the next little bit.

DaneSandersInMotion is finally launched

After some gentle prodding and pushing from friends, I finally bit the bullet and started my blog. The reason I've hesitated for so long is I didn't want to create one just to take up space. There are so many great blogs and forums out there, I didn't want to distract my friends away from them. But, I did want to create something that could help us stay connected and keep you in the loop on all the cool stuff that's happening. Life is blazing right now! Thanks for joining in :-)!!
