I love football: high school, college, and NFL, I can even tolerate Arena football. I’m a season University of Hawaii ticket holder, NFL Sunday ticket subscriber, and I fly to the mainland and spend thousands of dollars just to watch NFL football games. Do I have a sickness? Maybe. What […]
Here’s an email I got a few days ago from Tabitha Madison. Through my research on the internet, this fictional name that has been used over and over again to scam wedding companies. “Hello, My name is Tabitha Madison,i live in Kaneohe, HI. I am presently in London(UK)but probably will […]

CELLPHONE MAGIC ~
We are now at the point in our lives where cellphones can produce professional-quality snapshots. This shot was taken on the Samsung 24 Ultra on Pro-Mode. Pro-Mode allows me to manipulate camera settings manually, unlike the default auto mode.
Post-production on this photo was pretty much close to nothing.
On my professional camera, this same shot would require a flash, and some heavy post-production corrections.
Why is this happening? Well, smartphones can't drastically get much smarter - except for their photo/video capabilities. And right now, our smartphones have become incredible cameras. They are great at shooting everything - except Bigfoot. Apparently, even with the best tech, if you shoot Bigfoot, that photo will still turn out blurry as heck.
So, what does this mean for you?
Well, first of all, if you're thinking of buying a professional camera specifically for your vacation, don't. Instead - upgrade your phone.
If you book professional shots from me, do not be surprised if I breakout my Samsung Ultra 24. It's definitely a weapon of choice when it comes to getting great photos for you.
Just to let you know, I'm now doing business as Dream Weddings by Steve :)
There are too many companies out there that are stealing my name, having a version of it. Now there will be no confusion.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
