"It's time once again to ask a well-known photographer, instructor or otherwise interesting person the same 10 questions and ask them to Finish the Sentence! This week the sentences are finished by.... Chris Orwig.
Chris, please Finish the Sentence..."
My favorite photography accessory (lights, modifier, bag, tripod) is
The one that I didn't pack in my bag. And I'm not just saying that. As a photographer, I like to travel as light as possible. Therefore, I don't really like accessories. In thinking about this, I quickly looked up the word accessory and came across this, "nonessential but desirable that contributes to an effect or result". Thus, I prefer the essentials and have even been known to cut off unnessary straps and logos on my camera bags in order to keep things simple.

If I could go anywhere in the world it would be_____ because….
I recently took a trip and upon return home, I again realized how much I apprecaite day to day life. So I'd have to say my hometown of Santa Barbara. I'm married to the woman of my dreams and we have two daughters 4 1/2 and 3 1/2. I love those three so much it hurts. Where they are, I want to be.
My most-used Photoshop add-on, plugin, action set (etc) is
I enjoy the OnOne plugins.
I love the fact that Photoshop
Makes me think, grow and change.
I hate the fact that Photoshop

If I could turn back the clock 10 years
I once read a Mark Twain short story about time. He used paradoy to communicate the value of "now". Ever since I've read that I've worked to fully and whole heartedly live in the present.
In 10 years
see above
If I could give one piece of advice it would be
I think Gil Baile said it well, " Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
