Hello all! Well, I have been on “vacation” this week, but I have been very busy. Last week on Friday I shot a wedding. Saturday was busy with copying pictures to the computer, doing the first review and making backups. On Monday I did a product shoot. I stayed up all night Monday working on those photos and spent a good part of the day yesterday and this morning working on them as well. It is for a product that needs to be put on sale soon, so timing is critical! I just finished working on those pictures and now I need to continue the work on the pictures from the wedding in May! Whew (as I wipe the sweat from my forehead)!
But first, time for some lunch…
I have been quite busy over the last few weeks. I still have a little work to do on the engagement photo session I did in mid-April, a lot more work to do on the photos from the wedding I shot 4 weeks ago and some work on the baby photos from 3 weeks ago. Never fear though for those that are waiting on these photos (or for those that are considering me to do their wedding 
 ), I have 2 weeks of vacation coming up soon and part of it will be spent catching up!
Well, I am still working on the wedding pictures. I also had a photo shoot last week on Wednesday with a very cute 2 week old baby girl, a happy but tired mom and dad and an exicted and proud grandmother. There are some great photos that I hope to share some time, but it will be a while… I am heading out of town this weekend!
Its late, but I wanted to share a few pictures from the first dance… Enjoy!
Just wanted to share a few more pictures this evening. I am sure that a few people are waiting to see a few more! These are from a bride and groom dance in the middle of a big heart made out of tea lites and surrounded by sparklers.

Here are is a set of pictures taken at the wedding May 9th from one of the events that the 2 MCs put together. I had not seen it before and it made for what I think was a beautiful photo opportunity and a precious time for the bride and groom to have their first house “built” by the guest throwing white balls of yarn over the umbrella (which got “dangerous” when you were not looking out! 
)
I’ll be shooting a wedding on Saturday! I started getting ready on Thursday by charging most of the camera batteries. This evening I have finished charging the camera and rechargable batteries, got the lenses cleaned, the CF cards formated and the bag is now packed. Now I need to get some sleep.
Check back soon for some photos coming from an E-Session I shot in April and for the first pics from the wedding!
I have decided to post updates when I ride here, always including the link to my current stats:Â http://www.hepler.org/mybikestats2009.htm
Today I went on my longest ride of the year to date, 60KM. It was pretty windy and a little cool today. First I stopped off in Gräfelfing to visit friends. Then I went up and had lunch at Schloss Blutenburg and afterwards went up through Dachau and headed east. I originally wanted to drop by my work and have some cake with my colleagues but I realized I wasn’t going to make it so I stopped off at the Feldmochinger Lake, relaxed a bit and then headed home.
Well I have been staying busy over the last weeks… A week ago tomorrow I shot a concert. I have had this week off and I was planning on going up to the Handwerkskammer (among many other things), however I haven’t made it there yet and it probably will not happen this week. I have spent time with friends though, which has been great and yesterday I had my first “E-Session” (Engagement Photo Session) of the year. It was great fun! I took all day for it because it was for friends and a present. We went into town and then went to the zoo together! There will be a few pictures to come!
I don’t have much news to share on the starting-a-photography-business side of things. I have not yet done anything as I am waiting to see if I can get a few more jobs first and also to see how a few things play out with the day job.
I have done quite a bit of picture taking recently so I have a backlog of photos that I am editing. I have been pretty busy as well so things are only slowly getting done. It is 1:07 in the morning so it is time to finish up and go to bed!
