I'm so very sad and slightly happy. Strange eh? I'm sad because all is not calm on the front. People have been throwing rocks at each other and I've managed to be in the middle. Vague. But somethings just need to be. There this saying, "people are great till you get to know them." In some cases, people get better with time and in others, their true side comes out and it doesn't look anything like the representative you meet in the first place. I'm happy because I feel like I've learned a lesson that I won't ever have to repeat. Sad, because it's a painful process.

And something else sucks too. My canon ate my memory card full of pictures from Eeyores bday.

Anyone know a good memory disk image recovery program?

I'm comfortably excerted today. Chris and I went rock climbing and spelunking at Enchanted Rock yesterday and I was just too exhausted to edit anything last night. We got some pretty cool pictures and met the most incredible 85 year old man and toured his art gallery just outside of Fredicksburg Texas. I'll have them up within the next few days. Between packing and moving and trying to buy a new car, it may be a little longer than a few days though. I'm just being optimistic.

Guys really, when you see the pictures his wife painted, you will be astounded. I was so overwhelmed by the entire experience that I couldn't keep an dry eye. It was amazing and to hear him talk about his late wife and see the love and pride in his eyes and even the way he joked about how she was still in their studio, painting. We saw his ranch right off the road on the way to the big ass rock and I was already intrigued by the huge metal swirls that were hanging weightlessly in his front yard. On the way back, we passed it again and we decided to take a look. I'm so thankful for that chance encounter with Mr Eyefells and Chris for entertaining my arty whims.

He's incredible too!

Other than that, I'm doing okay. I'm happy with a side of melancoly. My car exploded, not really, I just like to exaggerate. Did I spell it right? I don't have spell check on my work computer so it's anybodys guess. Just life throwing it's punches to keep my on my feet.

I just recently turned 28. It was wonderful and everything I hoped it would be. My only sigh is that one of my best friends couldn't be there with me, but I just need to get my lazy bones over to his side of town and visit. So on to news...I'm still struggling sometimes. I can look back and see some amazing shots I've taken and then other times, I swear a chimp was let loose with my camera. I'm wanting to hit a period of consistency. It's getting there. I've partnered up with my homie Chris to start a wedding photography business. I hate weddings in general, but I've shot my fair share. That's his bread and butter. Our idea though, is for him to be the main shooter and I go around and get the details. I'm better up close and personal. We had a great lunch date where we discussed the possibilites. So we'll see. I drilled it into his cute bean head that we need to practice, learn, research and practice some more. So, stay tuned to better photography, grander ideas and a few shots I should have just left alone.

The sun is shining! I needed to take some time to get out of my funk. I just wasn't happy with my work. And honestly, it's hard to be happy with what you do because at what point do you stop growing? I never want reach my full potential. Then what? I rather know that each day I can improve and learn and become inspired my life and the creativity of others. But I'm back. Much love to each and everyone!

I'm going through a period right now where I'm just not happy with my old photography. I haven't really been inspired to do anything new. I'm not disappearing, but just taking a small leave to find myself again in a photograph. I'll be back when I'm ready. Thanks for everyone's support right now. Love you guys and keep up your awesome work.
