I just got a new camera, new storage system and am waiting on one last thing, a new computer ... I am trying to get everything functioning and working well together and hope in the end it will increase not only the ease of work but my productivity as well. I sure hope so. Here are several "back ordered" banners for images I have yet to get fully processed and posted to my portfolio, but they are coming I swear ...

most of my shots are in now from the diamond'lypse with a few more yet to process, here is the box LINK ...

The Diamond'lypse in Seattle was well amazing, I am in awe of of this event and how much behind the scenes work must have went into it and it basically appeared to come off with out a hitch. The models were great, wardrobe, makeup, lighting, teamwork it was all good. Here are a few of my shots ...here is a LINK to the box

These images are all in now (or for the most part) - here are the LINKS -

Yeah, so the Chris Daughtry thing just gets better - My nephew, who just got home from Iraq to his big screen stardom, told me that the full video from the AMA's is on Chris Daughtry's web site - turns out there are SEVEN of my shots on there (all including my nephew in one way or another) - thats just too sweet and such great timing for him to come "home" to!  (Images are in this box LINK)

Hey cool I just found out about this great little search tool that you can use to search my photos at iStock!!
Just type in a keyword and pow there they are.

 

Yep today's the day - I had my 10,000 download today at iStock & hit Gold! I have been excitedly looking forward to it, watching the numbers roll by the last few weeks counting down to today (my dad has too). It’s hard to imagine my images being downloaded that many times, but I am sure happy for it!!

Now I guess I should get off the computer and go celebrate!! :)

I recently went back to San Diego, where I used to live through Jr & senior high. I got to see my Niece and that was wonderful, once a year is not enough though I can tell you that - time is always short but it was great to see her! She has this amazing little dog, and now I want one just like it!! :) I also got to meet my Nephews girlfriend (he is off in the Middle East wearing green somewhere), that was nice even though she's at least a foot taller then me ... I don't have a "short complex" nope, never had ... lol. (LIGHTBOX)

I also got to see so many friends that I grew up with! That was the biggest surprise to me, it was amazing to be in this room with all these people that you haven’t seen in years - people you know deeply and intimately, people that you have spent so much of your life with, best friends if there ever was any ... then bam ... high school is over, people move away (that would be me & a few others) get married, have kids, careers, lives that no longer circle around one another ... before you know it years have gone by ... then sitting in this room full of old familiar faces that are at first hard to recognize (some of them) then there is the sound of a laugh that you would know anywhere ... close your eyes and you transported back in time and for that split second ... no time has passed at all.

My trip was very fun!! I met some great people, stayed in a wonderful place (The Fairmount on top of Nob Hill isn’t shabby!!) and had the pleasure of photographing some very nice and stylish people. Now comes the arduous task of processing, which I have started, but am still working on. That and several other jobs, training, inspecting, shooting … who really has time for things like “computer problems?” (-Gasp-) (LIGHTBOX)

I really want to thank the models from The Fairmount shoot!!! Each one of them did such an amazing & fantastic job. They were so into it they had me fooled at one point & I had to ask what they were really looking at on the computer screen (nothing of course - and I knew that). There was nothing but rave reviews from the class members too!! Anyway, my deepest and most sincere thanks and appreciation, I couldn’t have done it without you!! (LIGHTBOX)
