I couldn’t just dance.  “But Dave….your dancing is more than enough.”  Sure it is.  But being a photographer I had to document everyone’s reaction to my skills.

This guy on the right…red tie….he is responsible for the dance call out.  I’ll see you in November brother….and there may or may not be payback.

I’m not sure what this guy’s face on the right means but I’m pretty sure he was emotionally moved by my dance.  We were all moved.

In this first clip my interview begins at 8:18 into the clip….

….and starts at the beginning of this one.

Thanks to Cookie for the interview and to Debra for the invitation!

There were 38 studios entered so I feel pretty good about #4!  I’m sure I wasn’t Anna’s first choice either but you see how well that has worked out for me!  :)  I do hope I wasn’t her 4th choice….that would have actually made me sad.

These are some photos from a wedding that Cosby and I shot a couple of years ago in Athens, Alabama.  We knew that there would be a great vantage point from the upstairs balcony of the house at Madelyn’s in the Grove.  We also knew that we would be hard pressed to actually get up there and shoot during the ceremony.  So we put on our newspaper photographer hat (which if you are Cosby looks like this) and decided to utilize a remotely triggered camera.

This isn’t something we do at every wedding because truthfully it’s not always necessary…but at times it can really make a difference!

If I would have been running up and down stairs at this particular venue I would have risked missing the moment below.

I was thrilled when the good folks at Collages.net wanted to feature David Higginbotham Photography on one of their recent blogs highlighting a photographer who uses their services.  If you are a current client you are familiar with Collages.net because that is who hosts your gallery after a session or a wedding.  I have been using them for several years and love the service they provide.  It’s very important to me to make sure that all of the products I provide for my clients are of the highest quality and feel like I have that with these guys.  As if that isn’t enough….their customer service is probably the best I have ever experienced.

A big thank you to Laurie and the rest of you at Collages.net for thinking enough of what I do to feature me on your blog!  I told Laurie I wanted the interview to be like a Barbara Walters interview but with less crying….I think we nailed it.

When Cosby and I were photographing Matt and Pooja’s wedding Coz was shooting from his usual “Stalker Like” perch near the front and I was at the back.  We were both shooting the bridal party as they entered and I later realized that he had a little better view of the scene than I did.  Not normally a problem except for the fact that my goofy head was in some of his shots because I didn’t realize I was in his way.  It wasn’t a major problem for their wedding but I wanted to take steps to remedy that for our weddings in the future so we have began using radios to communicate while shooting weddings.

I had considered doing this earlier but I was hesitant because I didn’t want to look like Jennifer Lopez from The Wedding Planner…..I don’t have the back side to pull that look off anyway.  But I was seriously concerned about looking like a couple of weirdos and drawing attention to ourselves.  But I was able to find some very subtle ear pieces that allow us to keep in (quiet) communication during the ceremony so the bride and groom have more photos of their memories and less photos of my backside.

I hope I never have to reference my back side this many times in a blog post again.

Big thanks to Cosby for being my involuntary model.
