My Obsession Self portrait June 29th 2006
A day in the life of Mr. Nathan doesn't come with much downtime.
He skipped work today for Hill Road, abandoning a $21.00 hour paycheck and his wildly popular disk jockeying gig.
He figured he'd always be by her side.
Lucy, the turtle, was having her babies today. She lives on Hill Road. He visits often.
He's not famous yet but he will be.
Photographer of the Day www.kevinchin.com
My name: Kevin Chin
Where I reside: San Fransisco
What type of photography I do: Weddings and Portraits
My favorite vendor... Light Impressions. They make all of my custom mats. They do quality work, are reasonably priced, and have fast turnaround time.
My next big purchase..... more lenses for my Hasselblad H1 camera
My biggest pet peeve in my profession... sandwiches served as vendor meals especially after working all day.
The best way to learn more is to.... push yourself and think out of the box. You can only grow as an artist if you get out of your comfort zone.
I'm inspired by....passion…passion for your art and passion for life.
Something that I find unique about my business is....At every wedding or portrait session, I am creating images that will be viewed and enjoyed by generations long after we are gone.
Most of my day is spent... answering emails
My favorite piece of equipment... I love my Hasselblad H1 camera. I not only still shoot and love film, but I still use medium format. The H1 gives me the quality of a medium format but shoots more like 35mm auto focus camera.
Kevin's favorite image of recent
What's the best dollar you have ever spent? The well spent money for my new BluDomain web site.
How I stay fit..... tennis twice a week for my cardio and some weight training two or three time a week to keep my body strong so I can carry all of my camera equipment.
The gadget I must have... a widescreen monitor
An indulgence of mine... smoking fine cigars…especially Cubans when I am down in Mexico.
What makes you nervous... After 16 years of shooting weddings, I still get a little nervous before each wedding. It’s a good thing. It reminds me never to take things for granted.
Something on my radar this month... updating my business cards and other collateral with my new logo to go with my awesome new BluDomain web site.
What I fear....that they will stop making film and I will be forced to go digital…heaven help us all.
What I need most in my life right now... more time to travel
The Hot Section
** Stars in Hollywood are dropping money on UvaSun's Cellulite Simple treatment. Designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite over 10 tanning sessions. $399.00 to $549.00. Check out www.uvasun.com
** Did you know that minimum wage in Santa Fe, Mexico is $9.50, a full $4.35 more than the federal minimum wage of $5.15
** Looking to commission an artist to make you something? www.etsy.com Post a request "I want a handmade iPod case" and members respond with bids. Things you didn't know to save you money!
** Can't wait to see what all the buzz is about in the opening of "Devil Wears Prada" this weekend. A great movie for the girls starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
Support www.namecampaign.org by purchasing nameplate necklaces. Each necklace benefits kids abducted by rebels in Uganda.
I have found the best gadget ever! No more boring fishing trips. The Fish Activator is an underwater speaker which uses six digitally mastered sounds to attract the fish. Choose from tracks such as "Distressed Bait" www.biosonix.com
** Did you know that nearly three-quarters of online fraud reported to the FBI originates from within the U.S. One online scam that has the highest monetary losses is the Nigerian Letter. You know the one where they ask you to stash billions of dollars in your bank account because they are about to be attacked by rebels and you are a long-lost sibling of their great grandmother. I think I get a few of those all by different people who claim that I'm the Chosen One.
** Dogeared Pearls of Wisdom. A daily reminder to seek out and embrace that which inspires you and to be that inspiration to others.
What store do I visit daily?
