Thank you Scott for another opportunity to share my photography adventures on your blog. Few television shows ever achieve the 300th episode milestone. On February 9, 2016 NCIS not only accomplished it, they did so while being the most viewed television show in the world 2 years in a row! My name is Mike Kubeisy, and I am humbly honored to have been the photographer for 301 of those episodes. 301 you ask? I was involved with the spin off from JAG also.

It comes with a bunch of pre-made, nicely designed, easily customizable templates for use as your starting place, but the way you can tweak and change everything...

x http://youtu.be/Tbubwyu1zIA A few weeks ago we had super-mega popular concert and music photographer Adam Elmakias as our in-studio guest on “The Grid“ (and he was a great guest – lots of fun, and amazing images). Anyway, at one point in the show he mentions a particular URL he had registered, and it uses a term, or perhaps a phrase that he innocently is taking at face value, but some people (mostly adults) use that phrase to mean something…(ahem)…quite different. (I edited to just that clip above – pretty short, like 3 minutes total). Well, as soon as Adam says it, Brad starts giggling and turning red like he’s in high school, and things pretty much go off the rails from there, but the best part is...
