Tagged!

August 19, 2007

I’ve been tagged by my buddy Scott who helps me run letsgettrashed.com for a blog game that I’m sure you’ve seen if you’ve been to many other photographer’s blogs.

The premise is that you share 8 things people might not know about you and then tag 8 other people to do the same. Fun, right? :) Here’s 8 things about me you might not have known:

1)I am a grammar geek. I can’t stand typos (even though I make them all the time!) and I want to scream when people tYpE lYkE dIs.

2) I am really really really picky when it comes to food. Really. And I try things too, I don’t make a decision until I’ve tried it because sometimes I’ve been pleasantly surprised. But I’m so hard to take out to eat that no one ever goes out to get food with me. :)

3) I can’t stand having things on my desk at work. My room is pretty messy and disorganized but having things on my desk drives me absolutely crazy!

4)Sometimes I think I’m borderline OCD. Like when I’m walking and I hit my arm on something, I have to turn around and ht my other arm too or I feel off balance. Or if I turn one way I have to turn the other to even myself out”. It’s silly I realize and I don’t do it all the time but I can’t help it when I do. :)

5) I almost became a public relations rep until I took a PR class in college and realized I hated it.

6) I LOVE NASCAR. Love it! I watch races every weekend. Kyle Petty and Kevin Harvick are my favorite, but I’ve got a secret crush on Carl Edwards. ;)

7) I really like old movies. I watch them almost every day on TCM when I get home from work. I think I may have been born in the wrong era and should be living in the 50s.

8) I used to be a real emo kid. I went to 3 or 4 shows a week and wre black band shirts and had an explosion haircut. lol But I didn’t do it because everyone else was, I did it because I liked it.

Okay, there’s my 8 facts, now I tag:

Matt Antonino
Carole Foret
Mark Eric
Dustin Izatt
Hannah Suh
Dawn Malone
Emily James
Eddie Bojorquez

Your turn guys! :)

Big Bear

August 13, 2007

I’m back from my trip! Two of my friends and I went to Big Bear this weekend for a little time away. Big Bear is like my home away from home…I’ve been there so many times I know all the roads by heart.

We stayed in the cutest cabin!

We stopped by the Discovery Center to check out some of the cool nature displays there and HAD to take photos in front of the bear. :)

There was also a really awesome vintage car show in the Village all weekend long. I have a secret love for old cars so this was a special treat!

I was sad to come back; leaving Big Bear is never fun. But it was a great mini vacation!

Out of town (again)

August 10, 2007

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of town again until Monday morning. I’m leaving here in about an hour, so I will answer emails and calls when I return.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Eric’s Senior Portraits

August 8, 2007

This past weekend I went downtown with my brother Eric and shot some senior portraits. He goes to almost all of my sessions with me as my assistant so we do a few at whatever location we happen to be at, but I wanted him to have a session all on his own. I’ll be adding images to his gallery as the senior season goes along but here is what we got from this weekend’s session. I love these images! And I’m not just saying that because he’s my brother….I really love them. :)

Here are my favs:
