My friend Ben Chrisman has been busting my stones about reviving my blog. He said he’s read the “Namedropper” post about 1000 times and said it’s time for an update…so Ben, this post is for you!
At Ben’s and many other friend’s urging I am trying to resucitate the blog. I do enjoy the blog, it just takes so much TIME!
Stay tuned…
greg
Okay, I know it’s been a month since WPPI, but I have just a few more thoughts to post and then we’ll move on. It’s about time to start posting images again!
I call this the “name dropper” post because as I mentioned in the previous post, one of the nice things to come out of WPPI was the reinforcement of the great group of friends I have. I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about some of the things I did there and some of the people I hung out with.
I went out to WPPI a few days early because I wanted to get out of the house and work on my presentation without distraction. I guess most people would say that Vegas doesn’t really qualify as a distraction-free environment, but actually I was pretty disciplined about it. I was talking to my friend Emilie Sommer on the phone on Friday and told her I felt like the school kid who had to stay in at recess and do his homework - I could look out the window of my hotel room and see the strip, but I couldn’t go out and play! I was in Vegas for almost a full week and I never even walked down the strip or saw the Bellagio fountain! Most of my time was spent between the Westin Hotel and Bally’s.
Nobody told me that this speaking stuff was such hard work! It really takes a lot of time to put together a coherent two-hour platform presentation! I had the majority of the content put together before I left for Vegas, and most of the time I spent working on it there was going through images and trying to put my slideshows together. I showed 5 slideshows during the presentation, most of which were about 5 minutes in length, except for the opening portfolio. It took a lot of time, at least for me, to go through and select images for these shows, then put them together.
I did manage to get out a little bit and spend some time with friends.
I flew out late Wednesday afternoon and got in early that evening. Gotta love the 3 hour time difference going out there. It sure does suck coming back though!
Shortly after arriving, I got a call from my friend Cliff Mautner, who was in Vegas early to teach a two-day WPPI plus class. Cliff is a former Philadelphia Inquirer photographer and an outstanding wedding photographer in the Philadelphia area. He invited me to join him over at Bally’s for drinks along with world class photographers Marcus Bell, Joe Buissink and Yervant. It was great to spend a little quality time with a group of photographers I consider among the best in the world. Not only are they great photographers, they’re nice, down-to-earth people as well.
There was another photographer at the table with us, a young guy from Canada named Jesh De Rox, who probably has the coolest name in photography. I was familiar with some of Jesh’s work from seeing it on the Internet, but I had never met him in person. Jesh is a very cerebral photographer who’s images have a very unique and artistic look. Jesh definitely has an interesting personal perspective on photography and it was great to get to know him better. Little did we all know at the time that just a few days later he would clean up in the WPPI photography contest by winning a number of prestigious awards.
On Thursday I spent most of the day working on the presentation. My friends Brooks and Leighanne Whittington from Dallas got in Thursday afternoon and I joined them for dinner. Brooks is a buddy from the very beginning of my career in wedding photography, in fact it turns out that he has relatives from my home town and there is a slight possibility that we may even be related. Scary!
On Friday, again I spent most of the day in my room working on the presentation! Rick Brotherton and his wife Monica flew in Friday afternoon to attend the Dave Matthews concert over the weekend. Rick is the designer who created my new logo and identity package. It was great to meet them and hang out for a bit Friday night.
On Saturday I slipped out to sit in on some of the open judging at the WPPI print competition. I didn’t enter any prints in the competition but Cliff was a judge in the Photojournalism category so I wanted to check on him and make sure he was making the right choices :-).
One thing that became clear to me while looking at some of the prints is that many wedding photographers and even a few of the judges, still don’t have a clear idea of what wedding photojournalism is all about. Photojournalism is about story-telling and moments. It’s less about perfection. By that, I mean that photojournalism should be about capturing great story-telling moments that reveal something about the subject. It’s less about perfect exposure, composition and sharpness. I saw a few prints that I thought were really nice moments get graded down because a judge became distracted by some minor technical detail. Cliff did a nice job of trying to keep everyone reminded that the PJ category should, perhaps, be judged on different criteria than some of the other categories.
On Saturday night, believe it or not, I stayed in my room and kept on editing images. My buddy Matt Mendelsohn arrived around 2am, after a two-hour flight delay from Washington National.
I spent most of Sunday finishing up the trade show presentation I was doing for liveBooks on Tuesday. Matt and I were walking over to Bally’s for lunch when we ran into my friends Jeff & Julia Woods in the lobby.We ended up having a big group for lunch over at Mon Ami Gabi that included Parker Pfister, Brook and Alisha Todd, Brooks and Leigh Whittington, Cliff Mautner, and a few others.
Sunday night the liveBooks crew hosted a dinner for all the photographers that were speaking for them. It was great to meet all the people that run liveBooks and see firsthand their commitment to their product and clients. CEO Andy Patrick is also the founder and Executive Director of FiftyCrows, a foundation created to support unbiased documentary photography and reporting. I think its great that liveBooks has a CEO that not only runs their business, but understands and supports the larger issues in our profession.
I also got to meet liveBooks founder Michael Costuros as well as VP of Marketing Tricia Holmes.Tricia is the one who made it possible for me to be there and I appreciate it very much. Tricia was an executive at Adobe before coming over to liveBooks, so she has a solid background in dealing with the needs of photographers. I also finally got to meet J Sandifer, who is in charge of wedding markets at liveBooks. J is a former Pictage guy, and I’ve heard his name for quite some time and talked to him on the phone a few times. It was great to finally put a face with the name. J is also dating my friend Emilie Sommer and I’m honored to call him a good friend now also.
liveBooks had invited a great group of up and coming photographers that included the crew from LaCour, Mr.SimplePhoto.TV himself Dane Sanders, Gene Higa, Garrett and Joy Nudd, Jared Platt and Isaac Bailey, Peter Holcomb and Katie Van Buren.
Monday was the big presentation day, and I will post on that separately. Suffice to say the day was spent polishing up the show and was not without its share of stress! More coming later on Monday events…
On Tuesday, I did my liveBooks presentation at the trade show. Its interesting speaking at the trade show because you basically start with little or no crowd, so it sort of feels like you’re talking to yourself. Fortunately a few people I know showed up including Tina Carter, Dennis Lee and Dan Epstein. Pretty soon as people walked by and saw what was going on, there was a suitably large enough crowd. It was fun and I thought it went pretty well.
The rest of the afternoon I spent walking around the trade show checking out new products.
On Tuesday night Adobe LightRoom Marketing Director Jennifer Stern and LightRoom Product Manager Tom Hogarty hosted a great dinner at the fabulous Tao Restaurant in the Venetian for all the speakers Adobe sponsored at the show. Needless to say this was an all star cast of wedding photographers that included Denis Reggie, Bambi Cantrell, Marcus Bell, Jeff & Julia Woods, and Parker Pfister. It was truly an honor for me to be included in this group. Fortunately I knew all these guys already and we had a great time. I also got to meet Ed Pierce, who produces the PhotoVision educational series of DVDs.
Although she wasn’t at the dinner, I also got to meet Adobe Evangelist Julianne Kost. I love hearing Julianne speak. She has a great sense of humor and makes learning nerdy stuff fun!
I left the Adobe dinner a little early to attend the platform presentation by Cliff Mautner. Cliff has been so supportive and helpful to me and is one of my best friends. I had to be there for him. He did a great job and kept everyone entertained as well.
After seeing Cliff, I joined a reunion get together for all the folks who attended the Foundation Workshop. It was great to see everyone again.
Shortly afterwards I had to catch a flight home to get to a corporate shoot on Wednesday night.
Whew! Did I drop enough names? I met so many people it’s impossible to include them all. If I left anyone out, I do apologize! It’s really great to have such a network of friends and colleagues. I value them all! There were many other people and things I wanted to see and just didn’t get a chance to. Dang!
So anyway, that was my WPPI. 5 days of work, 1 day of play!
You may have noticed a change in my blog header. You may have also noticed the new "G" logo displayed in the background of the "WPPI Intro" images.
Yes, we are getting a facelift. I’ll be launching a new logo soon with a whole new branding and identity package. I also have a new liveBooks website coming out in a few weeks.
The logo, along with the new branding materials, were created by my man Rick Brotherton. Rick owns a design firm in Orange County, Ca, named Brotherton, appropriately enough. Rick is also a photographer so he has a real understanding of our needs and who our market is. Rick’s a great, hard working guy who’s very easy to deal with. I had the great pleasure of meeting Rick and his wife Monica in person out at WPPI in Las Vegas. They are truly good people! I can’t say enough good things about them.
Here’s the new logo, as it was used on the title slide of my presentation:
My wife just came home and told me she can’t bear to listen to the radio or watch television today.
It’s just too hard.
In the parking lot at a local Home Depot, she literally had to sit in the car a few minutes and compose herself before going into the store. She become emotional during the short drive listening to broadcasts of the services honoring the victims on this statewide day of mourning. While we didn’t know any of the shooting victims, this story carries substantial personal significance to us because we live in Chantilly, Virginia, which is also home to the alleged gunman, Cho Seung-Hui. Technically we live in Centreville, but that’s more an issue of zip code than reality. My kids all go to Chantilly schools.
Cho and two of his victims attended nearby Westfields High School. My kids will all attend Chantilly High School. Despite the small difference in geography, kids from both high schools generally know each other well, having participated in youth sports, clubs and other extra curricular and community activities together.
The thing that upset my wife the most, given even the enormity of this tragedy, is the fact that this is yet one more in a string of terrifying and horrific events that our children and other families in this area have had grapple with over the past 6 years.
It started in March of 2001 with the shooting of local college student and former Chantilly High student Danny Petrole. Petrole, a good natured and popular local kid from a respected family was shot 9 times while sitting in his car in the driveway of his home in nearby Manassas. Turns out that Petrole was a major player in the suburban drug trade of marijuana and ecstasy. He was killed by a couple of local acquaintances in what police believe was some kind of drug related disagreement over money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of marijuana and ex were found in Petrole’s home, as well as thousands of dollars in cash. Not only is one local youth is dead, one is serving a life term in prison, and another is on Death Row awaiting exectution.
Shortly thereafter came the 9/11 tragedy that shook us all, as well as the long aftermath including the military actions in Afghanistan and the start of the second Gulf War.
Barely one year later the Washington area was terrorized by the DC Sniper shootings in which a man and a teenage boy went on a random killing spree spread over 23 days leaving 10 people dead and three others wounded.
Just last year, another Westfield High student, Michael Kennedy, went to the local police department, less than a mile from the school and opened fire, killing two police officers. Six months later 5 Amish school children were murdered in neighboring Pennsylvania, where we occasionally take our kids for weekend getaways.
The war in Iraq continues to lurk beneath the surface as friends, parents and neighbors continue to be called into duty whether in the military, government agency, law enforcement, or the private sector.
Now this. It’s hard to imagine how two kids from the same high school, the same neighborhoods and so close the to same age could go so far astray in committing these types of heinous crimes in such a relatively short time.
I heard someone say on the radio yesterday that Centreville will be forever stigmatized by these events. That perhaps people will leave the area and outsiders will wonder what kind of values we are instilling in our children, or perhaps even worse yet, that something is just simply wrong with us all.
As the father of three boys, two of which are teenagers, all I can only say is that we simply do the best we can. I wish there were concrete answers and facts. We do our best to teach our children right from wrong, to teach them love and respect for God and for each other, and put them on the path to becoming responsible adults. However, as parents, all we can do is show them the way. We can’t live their lives and make all the choices. At some point kids have to make their own decisions about the friends they keep and the lives they choose to lead.
I see my friends and neighbors working hard and sacrificing to be a part of their children’s lives. I’m proud of my community and happy where I live. This whole sequence of events leaves us all confused, troubled and sad for everyone affected.
I mourn for the victims today. Not only for the victims at Virginia Tech, but also for these other tragedies that have so affected and influenced our community. I also mourn for the Petrole family, the Kennedy family and the Cho family. One can only imagine the kind of grief, remorse, shame and internal self-examination they must undergo every single day as parents of children who have inflicted so much pain on others.
Today, we are All Hokies.
One of the really nice things to come out of my WPPI presentation was the reinforcement of the great group of friends I am so blessed to have.
My good buddy Matt Mendelsohn flew out to Las Vegas from Washington just to be there to support me. Matt got in late Saturday night and on Sunday I realized that I needed someone to introduce me. Since Matt is one of my closest friends in the world, it was only natural that he would be my first choice.
Now those of you that know Matt also probably know that we very lovingly sometimes call him the “Soup Nazi” as he can be a bit of a curmudgeon from time to time. Naturally, for two days I had to endure Matt’s griping about me asking him to do the intro on the day before the presentation and what a pain in the a** it was on such short notice! I didn’t mind though, because, you see, there are a few things I know about Matt.
For one, he is a great writer. He comes by it naturally. His brother Daniel recently published a best selling and award winning book, The Lost, which chronicles the lives of their family members that were killed in the Holocaust. His sister Jennifer is also an outstanding journalist and author.
For two, Matt doesn’t do anything halfway. I knew that even though he would gripe about it just to annoy me, when it came down to it, he would do an outstanding job!
Let me just tell you that Matt’s introduction blew me away! Not only did it bring a little tear to my eye, it also made me nervous because as I walked up onto the stage I was afraid the presentation wouldn’t live up to the intro! Talk about a hard act to follow!
Since it’s not very often that people say such nice things about me, I thought I would post Matt’s introduction and share it with those of you who couldn’t be there.
Good Evening.
My name is Matt Mendelsohn and I am a photographer from Washington, DC. It’s a great honor to be introducing tonight’s speaker.
I have known Greg Gibson for 21 years now, essentially my entire professional career.
Though both Greg and I are primarily known as wedding photographers these days, that certainly wasn’t the case back in 1987, when we were both younger, thinner and less follicly challenged photographers working for a legendary - albeit dying - wire service called United Press International.
Though layoffs were routine and paychecks were known to bounce, I think it is fair to say that those formitive years at UPI were incredibly instrumental in shaping the way we approach weddings more than two decades later.
And I’m not talking about technique either. A photographer working at a wire service in those days had only two options every time he went out on a story: make the picture or fail. There were no runner up prizes when your competitor’s picture was on the front page of every newspaper in America. Only the dreaded phone call from New York.
Today we in the wedding business talk about wooing clients and wooing coordinators, and having fancy red sofas in our studios. But back then, Greg and I had a boss who I once had the following phone conversation with:
“Newspictures, Matt Mendelsohn.”
“Is Alan Papkin there?”
“No, I’m sorry, can I take a message?”
“Tell him he’s a fucking asshole.”Like I said, not exactly a coddling kind of place to work.
Those kind of conditions make or break photographers, and in the case of Greg Gibson, it was certainly the former. After UPI, I went on to USA Today, and Greg went on to an amazing career at the Associated Press, one that includes not one, but TWO Pulitzer prizes. We spent years covering the White House together, freezing - day after freezing day - staked out in front of some courthouse or another, and even spent some quality time lounging around the Dharan International Hotel during the first Gulf War.
But the time I enjoy most with Uncle Greg, as my four year-old daughter calls him, are our weekly lunches at the Rhodeside Grill in Arlington, Virginia, where he always gets the soup, and the countless IMs - and I do mean countless - at 2am in the morning, where we alternately discuss curve layers or whether Jack Bauer really would have known how to download that atomic bomb schematic on his cell phone.
Greg’s one of the most generous people I’ve ever known - always willing to help young photographers learn and grow. One of the frequent topics of discussion at our weekly Rhodeside lunches is the inability for a lot of younger photographers to understand the importance of the decisive moment. Back in 1992, during the first Presidential Debate between George Bush, Ross Perot and Bill Clinton, President Bush famously glanced at his watch. It looked like he was bored and many people say that he lost the election in that single instant. As many times as I look back at my negs from that night, I can’t make that instant appear. Greg just smoked my ass.
So when we talk about decisive moments, tonight you could not have a better teacher in that regard.
And so it’s with great pleasure that I introduce my best bud, Greg Gibson…
Thanks dude…I’ll never be able to express how much your words meant on such a special night for me.
Just got home last night from a spring break vacation with my family in Puerto Rico. I wanted to post quickly to let everyone know that I survived my WPPI experience. Speaking was a blast and I had a great crowd. Once I get caught up a bit I’ll be posting some thoughts about WPPI as well as a few things from my vacation.
I also want to take a minute to thank everyone who came out and supported me in Las Vegas. I have a fantastic group of friends who did everything from introducing me at the presentation to carrying boxes of prints from one hotel to another. I feel very blessed!
Stay tuned!

Just wanted to give a shout out to the folks at Burrell Professional Labs, the lab I use for all my album and finished prints. Burrell came through in a big way by providing about 30 beautiful, mounted 11×14 inch prints on really, really short notice. Now I’ll have some actual prints that we can display. We have decoration, no more sterile ballroom!
Burrell is also about to launch a new service for online hosting and printing of client images called PrintItOnline. PrintItOnline is Burrell Professional Lab’s new online hosting service with direct fulfillment options, customizable interface, secure payment options and efficient ease of use providing new and increased revenue streams for studios nationwide.
Here’s some other info:
An industry leader for over 50 years, Burrell Professional Labs recently reinvented themselves by researching, listening and understanding their customer’s needs and requests and has responded with The PrintItSUITE. The SUITE is a free and downloadable set of ordering tools including PrintItPRO, PrintItNOW, PrintItRAW, PrintItEVENTS, PrintItPRESS and PrintItONLINE. These tools cater to the individual styles of photographers to maximize their efficiency, product options and service requirements. In addition, unique profit building products are featured within the PrintItSUITE including true photographic canvas PrintWraps, distinctive mounting and finishing options, digital press products and a host of items to help the professional photographer differentiate themselves within their competitive marketplace.
I’ve really been pleased with my relationship with all the folks at Burrell. They do great work and make me look good!
Since being selected to speak at WPPI, I’ve been fortunate to obtain the backing of several great companies for sponsorship. It’s truly an honor to be supported by such outstanding leaders in the photographic community.
I’m humbled to announce the following sponsorships:
Adobe was the first company to step up and sponsor me. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to work with such a prestigious organization. Adobe Photoshop is used by every professional photographer in the world. It’s the industry standard and the most widely used tool in digital imaging. I’m especially pleased to be sponsored by Adobe’s LightRoom group. 
LightRoom is a great new tool to help photographers manage, adjust and present large volumes of images. I was fortunate to have access to LightRoom during it’s development and have been using it for almost a year now. LightRoom is a revolutionary product with some great tools to speed photographer’s workflow.
I’ll be launching a new liveBooks website in a few weeks. liveBooks creates beautiful flash-based, dynamically generated websites for photographers. The beauty of liveBooks is the editSuite software that allows photographers to easily keep their sites updated with fresh content. No more waiting for the web designer, just size the images then drag and drop to get it online! All the liveBooks sites have a clean, simple interface that keeps the viewer focused on the crisp, large images.
I’ll be speaking at the liveBooks booth at the WPPI tradeshow on Tuesday March 27 at 1:15pm.
The Wedding Photo Journalist’s Association is another great sponsor I am proud to have. The WPJA directory listing of photographers is one of the top sources of new leads to my website. A few months ago, when I placed high in the quarterly contest, traffic to my site DOUBLED as a result of the WPJA listing. The new Wedpix online magazine is a great source of information for photographers, and the WPJA.com site offers great information for bride and grooms searching for a documentary style photographer.
Pictage is one of the largest providers of online photo sharing and professional photography services. Pictage serves as the webhost for all of our online client wedding galleries as well as providing lab services for all of our proofing products.
I guess we have to do equal time.
Just after I posted about my football team’s success this past season, my 11 year-old’s basketball team won the Championship in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League. I’m just an assistant coach in basketball, so all the credit goes to my good friend Tomas McHugh, the head coach who deserves congratulations for a job well done with these kids. Tomas never ceases to amaze me with his basketball knowledge. He taught the kids so many small, little fundamental things about mechanics and position that helped them tremendously.
The cool thing about the basketball team is that many of the kids on the team live right here in my neighborhood and the families are our close friends. Every game is a social event…so we have to give these kids a bit of blog spotlight!
Here’s a couple of pictures one of the parents shot for us.
The kids with their trophies after their 29-25 Championship win over Mt. Vernon
The team before the game. That’s my 11 year-old with the big teeth in the front row.
I’m the ugly one in the back row!
This is a bit of a scary year for me. I am venturing out into the world of public speaking and photographer education for the very first time. It’s an interesting twist for me, because throughout my career I was always “the kid” or the “young guy” with a chip on my shoulder and something to prove.
Now, having, ummm…”matured” a little, it’s a bit frightening to come to the realization that I can actually have a positive impact on other photographers, or that I actually might have something worthwhile to offer them!
I’ve always been a bit of a rebel in every job I ever had. In fact, I often joke with my friends that I am the Charles Barkley of wedding photography…you know, the old “I am not a role model” thing…so the whole idea of teaching wasn’t a naturally occurring event in my brain!
I’ll be the first to admit that I have been very fortunate in my career. I was lucky to get my foot in the door as a green, inexperienced 18 year-old kid at a very prestigious newspaper. Once there I was extremely fortunate to be mentored by guys like Jim Erickson, Mike Sargent, Seny Norasingh, Gene Furr and Mark Atkinson, all of which went on to do great things.
Photographers, as a group, are very giving people. Throughout my 25 year career, I have always been amazed at the kindness and generosity shown to me by other photographers, some of which were often my fiercest competitors as well as great friends. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s finally time to give back a little.
It was good timing a few months ago when my friend Bill Holland of Holland Photo Arts called and asked me if I would be willing to participate as a team leader at the Foundation Workshop 5. The Foundation Workshop was created by former Dallas Morning News Photographer Huy Nguyen . The idea behind Foundation is to teach wedding photographers how to think like photojournalists. The format is similar to the Eddie Adams Workshop that budding photojournalists attend for inspiration and education from some of the biggest names in the business.
At Foundation, participants are grouped into teams, and each team has a team leader/instructor. Participants are each given an assignment, similar to a news assignment, and they have three days to shoot, edit and produce a picture story.
Now real newspaper photojournalists will laugh a bit here because they know very few newspapers will allow a photographer THREE DAYS to produce a story…but the idea here is to shoot, come back and edit with the team leader, then take what you learn and apply it the next day to hopefully improve. So…the first day the photographers go out on their assignment, then come back late in the afternoon for an editing session with their team leaders and other teammates. The team leader critiques the shoot and offers specific suggestions on how the photographer can improve.
The next day the photographer returns to finish the assignment and hopefully uses this newfound training to improve the story and bring it home. The real heart of this workshop are the marathon editing sessions where the work is laid out and dissected. Another valuable part of Foundation are the shooting coaches/mentors who actually go out in the field and help the participants overcome problems and obstacles while the assignment is in progress.
The photographers assigned to my team were all pretty strong shooters…Ande Aguilar from Houston, Joe Gidjunis from Salisbury, Md, Janine McClintock from Council Bluffs, Ia, Becca Spears from Kansas City and Tina Carter from Chicago. At first I wondered how much I could really help these people!
One difference about wedding photography and journalism is that journalists usually work on a staff of some kind, so they are around creative people on a daily basis who can provide feedback on their work. Wedding photographers, on the other hand, generally work in relative isolation with little very little feedback other than what they hear from clients. All the photographers on our team benefited tremendously from the daily feedback and editing sessions. I want to give a special shout out to my friend Jennifer Domenick who was the co-lead on our team and was my right arm for the week! Jennifer kept me in line and moved us all along when things bogged down.
You can to the workshop website and see all of the final presentations created by the teams and participants. There is also a cool blog with some fun pictures from the week.
One fun thing our team did with the final presentations was to include an audio clip of the photographer talking about the assignment and their impressions from the week. You can view them at the end of this message below from a link off of SimplePhotoTV.
Here are a few additional images from the week:
