Hey there and welcome to the Blueye Photography blog. My name is Troy and I'm a wedding and portrait photographer located in Austin Texas. I love making photos that are real... real moments, real smiles, real love. I'm not sure that I can put my photography style into a single category, but you can be sure that I'm looking for the best light and the most creative angles I can.
In my blog you'll find everything from sneak peeks of client sessions to personal information. My life is (almost) an open book and I like to share as much as I can. Most entries will include photos... this is a photographers blog after all. I also love feedback about my photography/posts/website/life so please comment as much as you like. I read them all and try to respond to each and every one.
After you've read through some posts and gotten to know a bit about me feel free to check out my portfolio site using the portfolio link above. The blog is updated more frequently than my site, but you won't want to miss checking out my portfolio either.
Thanks for stopping by.
You can find, friend, and follow me on Facebook (therealtroy), Twitter (blueyephoto), Last.fm (blueyeguy), and AIM (oversight7). Yeah, social networking rocks!
My friend Katie (check out her travel blog) found this fun piece of software for the Mac (sorry PC readers!) called Poladroid. You drag any of your photos into the Poladroid and it creates a Polaroid version of it… complete with slow developing time, inconsistent emulsions, and fingerprints on the photo. I love Polaroid cameras so this has been a treat for me. Download it and give it a try.

Using it to salvage those pictures that have lots of potential but just didn't really come out well (the color's off, it's blurry, some weirdo popped into frame). The vintage look cancels out all the bad it makes it AWESOME! Like this one and that one.

November 14, 2008 - 11:40 pm - Dude!!! Love this, thanks for sharing!!! :)
December 3, 2008 - 2:39 pm - That is awesome, im gonna mac it up right now!
