Florida bodybuilding schedule up

Mar 5
Contests, G'ville, Ramblings, Schedule, Updates

The Florida NPC site has posted the 2007 bodybuilding contest schedule.

I’m still incorporating the data into the searchable schedule on my site, but I did go ahead and post the list of contests I plan to attend this year.

I’ve gone from 13 last year to 10 planned this year, with three of those ten noted as tentative.

Two are tagged for distance, and the third is the Gainesville show, which wasn’t listed in the calendar. I’m following up to see if that was an oversight.

In any case, I’m quite happy with the planned itenerary thus far– I think it’s much more manageable than in years past.

Update: The Gainesville show is tentative for this year. More as I find out.

2006 Gainesville shots up

Nov 20
Contests, G'ville, Updates

Shots from one of Florida’s longest-running shows, the 27th annual Gainesville competition, are up on the site; and with that the season is over. whew!

I was in a blur for most of the show from pain and medication (inner ear), but managed to get a couple of decent shots. Enjoy.

Bang!

Nov 19
Contests, Individuals, Modeling, Schedule, Updates

I updated the Perl and PHP engines for the site, and that broke practically everything.

At this point I’ve got a lot of it back up, including all the 2006 show shots, most of the individual shots, the Perl-based site search and several ancillary functions.

I still have the modeling shots, mini-shoots, and stock photos to do, and I haven’t been able to figure out the problem in the contest schedule yet. So I’ll be looking for hidden problems for a while.

Thanks for being patient.

Update 2006-11-19

Got most of the public site fixed, including the Atlantis memorial site and the contest search page— the global variables I had been using had been disabled for security by the update. Still have work to do on some of the maintenance pages, but I think we’re back in business.

Update 2006-11-20

Just noticed that the mail page function hasn’t been working for some time. Seems to be up again. Sorry about that.

2006 All South shots up

Nov 5
Contests, Updates

Shots from the 2006 All South competition are up on the site. Even managed to fit in a mini-shoot with Tammy Jones after prejudging; she was planning to compete but couldn’t because she’d won the show last year. I’ll get those up as soon as I can but they’re at the end of the long long list of Things I Still Need To Do Right Away.

And what a day for a motorcycle ride!

Anyway, enjoy.

2006 Southeastern shots up… finally

Oct 25
Contests, Individuals, Schedule, Updates

Sheesh, that took a while. Variations in lighting across a stage are absolute murder on shot consistency. Another big show, great work by promoter Chris Eaddy, and finally finally FINALLY I can work on the other backlogs.

Did a quick shoot with Debbie Barnes, looking great for an upcoming show; ran into Ellen Woodley, prepping for the same upcoming show– we may be able to sneak in a quick shoot right before or right after. Saw Belle Turell in the audience, too, looking good after her performance at the North Americans, but her attention was elsewhere.

Anyway, the shots from October 7th’s Southeastern Classic show in Orlando are up on the site. Enjoy.

2006 Hurricane Bay shots up

Oct 12
Contests, Individuals

Shots from the 2006 Hurricane Bay/Typhoon Bay show are up on the site.

Because I was sitting off further to the side than usual, and due to the wide variations of colors behind the competitors depending on where they were standing on stage, I had to open a real can of whoop-ass on the saturation and brightness levels on most of the shots, which is why I’m so late with these shots and why there’s such a wide variation in the color levels.

The Canon seemed better at the auto-white balance during the Southeastern last weekend, as I was making a conscious effort to keep my finger off the button until I was ready to shoot. On the other hand, Ian says just set for tungsten and fuhgetaboutit. I think he may be right.

Anyway, the Southeastern should go more quickly, and I have no shows for the next three weekends, so look for some of the backlog on the portfolio shots to get cleared out and lots of updates on that part of the site. Enjoy.

Map correction

Oct 6
Contests

If you’re going to the Southeastern contest tomorrow and aren’t familiar with the venue location, here is something to watch out for. I fell for this last year: the online maps show the address of Lyman High School about 3/4 of a mile north of 434.

It’s not.

It’s about 3/4 of a mile south of 434, on the east side of the road.

Hope this doesn’t cause too many problems.
