YOUR PHOTOS HAVE A REALLY COOL/FUNKY/WEIRD FINISH TO THEM. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
I love Photoshop and do a fair bit of post-production on my images. To save time, I use Photoshop Actions of many different kinds to achieve the different “looks” that my photos have. (If you have no idea what an “action” is, just google “Photoshop Actions” and prepare to be amazed.) I’ve found DeviantArt to be one of the best sources for a variety of free PS tools.
CAN I COME AND OBSERVE ONE OF YOUR SHOOTS?
You bet! But you have to be patient, I have a waiting list. Just drop me a note and let me know what type of shoot specifically interests you and I’ll be sure to get you in somewhere.
CAN WE DO COFFEE/LUNCH/DINNER SO THAT I CAN PICK YOUR BRAIN?
Even six months ago, the answer would have been, “sure”! But my schedule is so crazy that I hardly get to see my family or friends – it’s impossible to spare the time right now without some incentive other than knowing that I helped someone. So, sometime down the road, I will probably offer paid consulting sessions for fellow photographers, but for now, maybe send me an email and I’ll try to answer your questions the best I can. 
WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL YOUR MODELS, MAKE-UP ARTISTS, HAIR STYLISTS, ETC?
I’ve found Model Mayhem, though it is not for the weak of heart, to be an excellent networking tool. If you can get past the silliness and some incredibly raunchy imagery that lacks any finesse, you can make some great contacts. Just remember to take it all with a grain of salt.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND SOME GOOD WORKSHOPS/CONFERENCES I CAN ATTEND TO FURTHER MY DEVELOPMENT AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?
Absolutely! Zack Arias’ One Light Workshop is an excellent introduction to off-camera lighting for those of you who want to learn more about it, but are intimidated by all that’s involved. For those of you who have some basic knowledge of off-camera lighting and want to further your education, David Tejada’s Small Strobes; Big Results workshop is fantastic! I also strongly encourage you to attend at least once, Photoshop World, PDN’s Photo Plus Expo and if you’re a wedding photographer WPPI’s annual conference. Of course, nothing is better education than just getting out your camera and shooting, shooting, shooting!
