Faded and Blurred is a fantastic online magazine devoted to photography. Editor Jeffery Saddoris recently interviewed me for an ongoing series called Work:Life. The series focuses on creative professionals trying to balance creative, personal and business lives while pursuing their passion.

The thing about London is there are actually two of them. One is the London tourists see and the other is proper London. This is the actual London from medieval times, which has it’s own police force and where you’ll be driven in a taxi if you have the proper English accent. The morning began…

Great pictures and day-to-day report. London is a place that is on my bucket list…now more than ever because you brought it to life. Amazing!
There’s a saying in London… there’s no bad weather, just bad clothes. They also say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes. Truth be told, I’ve heard that one for nearly every place I’ve lived. With the exception of California where it was plain ole sunny every day. And yes, to answer your…

I must say that I see much more of your style in these images than the ones of the models you took the previous day. I visited AJ’s iStockPhotos site, and now, more than ever can see you transitioning into this new arena of photography. Looks like you’ll be great company.
So I just had to find the minty peas recipe. Found Jamie Oliver’s version, that should be pretty accurate. Man those fish & chips look good! Hey is that a new iStockPhoto in the works?
Okay I’ve been holding off clicking on the “Post Comment” button . here goes.
I’m enjoying your daily commentary:) I love your writing and look forward to each blog! Have fun today with Chris!
Give Chris whatever is the UK equivalent of a girly hug in a manly fashion! Can’t wait to see the results of your walk around town.
Such a gorgeous girl and, I know you can’t find the food you mentioned here, not food on the menu I see at Pret a Manger site, makes me hungry for both! But at my age and love for my wife of 25 yrs it’s gonna have to be the food!! Probably won’t get the food until you open in Portland?

Congrats Randy – An excellent article! It’s nice to fill in some of the blanks about your journey.
I must say that this is one of the best and most concise articles I have read about being a seasoned photographer in today’s world. I could not agree with you more on so many points you shared here.
There certainly is no substitute for practice and perseverance, and that surely shows in the depth of your work. Every aspiring photographer (artist) needs to read this.
Thanks Gary! I always appreciate your candor and point of view. And your continued support. It’s a lot to read through, I know, but thank you for taking the time. Jeffery Saddoris really pushed me to do this and I’m glad he did. It was good to mentally sort through this in my head and push it out into the world.
Hey there,
I just found you on the DWF so I thought I’d swing by and take a look at your work. I really enjoyed your photos and I love your editing style and feel. I’m a wedding photographer as well (My company is called Mykkah Photography around Washington D.C. / central Virginia) and I can totally appreciate the efforts behind the photos… Keep up the great work!
Best regards,
