Goldie!

1979 F150 - Gold


How exciting! Goldie is probably the best wedding anniversary gift ever! Our friend Larry put her on Facebook and asked people to place bids. A winner had already been declared when we saw the action, but we submitted a higher bid anyways - and we won!

First we had to get insurance. It was actually way more money than I thought it would be, but she is worth it! Then off to have her inspected. Amazingly she passed. I was pretty sure the lack of taillights would take her out of commission but apparently they didn't! Yea!

The only thing she still needs is registration (oops keep forgetting) and a vanilla-roma!

Fun fact about Goldie - my dear friend Nicole used her as the get away vehicle for her wedding!

Cold

I didn't get much rest last week and now I have a bit of a cold. This What the Duck really made me smile.

Granny

Very sad news. My grandmother passed away yesterday. She had been very sick for a couple of weeks and it is a blessing that she is no longer in pain. I will miss her terribly. In the last year we got to talk on the phone almost every day. We had lots of inside jokes and laughed often. She loved sports, doing crosswords and spending time with her overweight Pomeranian, Bella, and parrot, Bird. I am endlessly thankful that she was able to attend my wedding and my life will never quite be the same again. Goodbye Granny. We love you.

Snap Jundgments

There was a great piece about photojournalism on NPR this morning. Here is the description.

What are the rules that govern journalistic portrait photography? Wide-angle lenses, nonstandard lighting, shooting from below – they’re all fair game and frequently employed by photogs working for major publications. But what obligation is there to the subject? Bob searches for answers.

And a link to the story.

Holiday Cards!

This was a fun shoot! If only all of the kids I photograph were this well behaved. :) Also want to give props to the nanny, Andrea, who was a HUGE help in getting the kids to smile. She even wore a Micky Mouse hat and did a little dance for us.

Erin and Seth

Erin and Seth got married a few weeks ago in Driftwood! I could not have asked for a more easy going and relaxed couple. The BBQ was excellent. The cake was yummy. The bouquet was AMAZING! Great wedding. Thanks you two!

I'm married!

It is official. We are married! I can safely say it was the best day of my life. I'll post more when we return from our honeymoon. Some of the photos are already on David Hill's blog.
