 HI FROM THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING! (CLICK HERE FOR IMAGES)

We had so much fun tonight.  I got an invite from Lina Jang (click here to see her website) - an awesome photographer who has been a student of mine at Wealth Building AND Digital Intensive - and her business is doing incredibly well.  She has a corner office at the Empire State Building and she does everything I ever taught - predesigns with my album software, uses cornerstone fine art books - her work and her albums and her business are all so awesome. 
Anyway, so she said she's having a social, and I invited Becker and his friends to join us.  I did a lot of fun photos with the new LS2PJ shooting the new Canon 430EX.

We had so much fun as we always do when [b] is around.  He is one of my fav. beta testers because he'll tell me up and up if something sucks, so off he went shooting everything with my new Delta Softlite Diffuser.  Hilarious. 
Anyway so we went to the top of the E.S.B. - to like 80 MPH winds!!!  I got the most hilarious photos of Melissa getting blown by the wind - you have to check out her hair!
P.S. everybody is plugging their ears because I laugh really loud.

I agree, I think [b] will get his feelings hurt if he finds out you didn't take any photos of him.

Gary, how L-O-U-D do you laugh dude?!?     Here's an idea for the Gary Fong plastics factory - Gary Fong Brand earplugs!  If at a wedding the grandmother is telling you to go over there and shoot or make sure you get this one or that one, you just pop those puppies in and shoot away in bliss.  Of course, would also useful for ESB tours. 

BTW Melissa Bugg from Dennis's office says hey.  I just took Mr Reggie's class (it was absolutely great - great guy) in Atlanta and one night at Dinner Melissa was telling us about her wedding and I asked her (Dennis was standing close by) who shot her wedding and she grinned and said, "Gary Fong." haha

hey gary...you're gonna kill me for asking you this on here, but i looked everywhere for some type of customer service email or number at the e-store and couldn't find it.

what happened to the cornerstone flushmount albums?  i'm flippin out because i sold a pretty pricey (almot 5k) wedding to a family who is coming in tomorrow to talk about the album, but when i got on tonight i couldn't find it anywhere.  eeek.

i googled and found some other lady on another message board that said that the albums were discontinued, so is that what happened, and if so...who do you suggest i check out?  i can't really seem to find any other companies that do the no-spine thing which is one huge point of sale for this family...

i normally wouldn't ask you a question on here, but i am actually really starting to sweat.  just wondering what happened and why?  i was super pumped to finally be able to order one...

lookin forward to some clarity.  i seriously thought i was going crazy for not being able to find it...

help!

thanks gary....later.

Mark, the fine art albums are still going strong at Cornerstone.
We had too many service issues with the "send us your prints" product and not only that but we felt like we wanted to specialize in the fine-art book - nobody else has this but everybody has the flush mount album.

Go to www.leathercraftsman.com for their flush mount books. That is who I used to order from before I started binding my own.

Gary you posted above "a student of mine at Wealth Building AND Digital Intensive"
Is this the CD package you sell? Or is this something else?
Happy Thanksgiving.
