But I have something to say.
It's simple, it's honest, and it probably doesn't belong here. But oh well.

I've learned this year, without a doubt, that I have gathered to myself a collection of the most amazing individuals... Individuals that I call friends, but love as a family.

While their professions vary from Artist to Zoologist the fact remains that, to a person, they are all wholly unique, singularly amazing and simply beautiful in a way that transcends any attempt to capture their true value in words, images or speech.

In short, I consider myself lucky to know them, grateful to be apart of their lives and honored to have them call me a friend in return.

Happy early New years all.
May this year give you everything that you need, grant you a little of what you wish for, and show you what to aspire to.

Well I made it!

2009 kiddies! W00t!

So it's my Bday today. I got outta bed around 730ish, with a monstrous hour of sleep, just makes for a better Bday, right! I got out of the shower right at 10:10 am, which incidentally was when I was born, on fathers day about a million years ago. But that's just an interesting fact of the day, not why I am writing. I mean sure, the shower can be considered like the womb, but when I got out of it today there was, I'm hoping, considerably less blood and screaming. Though I could have benefited from a handful of nurses I think... =D

Sorry side track...
The REASON I'm writing is that I wanted to say thank you all to the people who will read this. Thanks for being friends, for sharing your lives, the laughter, the smiles and inside jokes. All of it, thanks for being in my life.
A wise man once told me the most valuable commodity that we as humans have, is time. So thank you all for the time we've shared. Here's looking forward to more of it! ;D



Anyway enough sappy crap, it's 10:30am and my birthday I've been outside in the big ol' world for 30 years and 20 minutes... Can I take a nap now?

Hope to see you all, love ya!

2009 kiddies! W00t!

Tis a new year and I come to you all with a clear head and unclear intention with what I want to say, so let me ramble.

I wish you all a happy new year! I managed to come through the celebration and indeed the year unscathed from any real damage, but with one heck of a lot of stories. Some good, some bad, a (metric)crap ton hilarious. I managed to get into a relationship, and out of one in 2008. I managed to truly learn that all stories have two sides, but the only truth come from my side. ;) I learned that family can be unconscionably cruel, and yet be the only ones that get you. I learned the one you love has the has the most power, for good or ill, and that scares me.

I helped make a movie, showcasing my total lack of comfort in front of any camera. Fell into love without the facts, fell out of love when they revealed themselves. Wished thing we different, pondered the past in all it's nostalgic glory, day dreamed of the future, spent days in agonizing pain, days in boyhood giddiness, and still other days in an artistic fury that drove me to create thing I wonder at. Resumed old friendships, drifted away from others, perused interests with reckless abandon and hedged my bets with a healthy does of caution.

I gave something my all, which I rarely do, and failed, which I do even less. I was hurt by people, helped by people and helped people. I was comforting and comforted at times. I was lied to, had my trust violated. I was surprised with the caring of a stranger and thoughtfulness of a loved one. I wasn't surprised with the callous selfish actions of either.

All in all I had one heck of a year, one in retrospect I would change little of at a glance, and everything with a critical eye.

In short I lived 2008, Pain, Love, Hate, Passion, Trust, Lies, Faith, Beauty, Bitterness, Jealousy, Joy, Happiness and last but not least... Hope.

This 2009 I hope for some of the above, none of the other, and a sprinkling of the rest, just to make sure I know I am living. And I hope all of you, the few who read this, live 2009 with Passion and Fierce Determination in whatever you decide.

If you aren't, what's the point?

New Semester (Again)

It's that time again, again.

New semester. New classes. New projects.

I find my understanding of my camera is growing, which is integral, of course and definitely fun!

I have a Couple shoots in the works right now, and Idea brewing for others. As for right now, the only for sure one is on the 12th. Which will rock a certain someones socks right off!

Other then that there is potential for a couple maternity shoots, and the like.

I'm in a portfolio/Advance Color photography class. Our assignments start with recreating a shot that moves/intrigues us.

I'll be pulling a few from my Favorites. So look for them in the future!

New Semester

Well here we are again, a week or 3 into the new semester and already I know this one will rock.
I have an Anthro friend's ethnographic/video graphic project I am working on. A wedding that I'll be doing the engagment photo's for and possible the wedding as well(Not solo of course!). My Studio class is amazing, and I have 3 solid shoots in mind, WITH the models ready, willing and lined up. Top that off with a 3 day trip to Santa Cruz where we will be Craig's listing Models and doing Street shots I am all kinds of excited about this one. Look forward to quite a few updates. I know I am.
