I guess I'm sort of lost!

Alright - so I guess most people have certain stories that they like on the tube. Well in Sept 2004 I saw a program that looked interesting so The Babe and I watched it. Many others tuned in that night to see the first episode of 'Lost'. It was very interesting that first season, but I really thought that they would be getting off of the island by the end of that first season and the story would progress to a different level. I mean, there is no possible way that anyone would want to see the story of some people stuck on an island for a couple of years - Right?

Well, I'm in love with The Babe and she loves to watch Lost. So I sit through it and when it is over gripe a bit about how the storyline that they follow is so random. I know it is just so they can keep the people on the island.So tonight's program was the same as always except --

duhn duhn duuuuhhhhh

The writers came up with two new characters that they pretend had been on the island the whole time and if we had watched close enough, we might have seen them. I feel like they are finally running out of ideas to develop around a very sad tale. So, they came up with these new people, showed us all of their backgrounds and then killed them. Woo-hoo, that's really pulling me back for another episode - wait - no, no it doesn't. The only reason that I watch it is for The Babe.
She is top-notch and wonderful, with a minor programical flaw - Lost.
Yes, I made up that word.

Why do you do that?

When I'm photographing a wedding- and stuff - I do a lot of work that I don't feel like most photographers do. They would do it if they were getting paid, but I do it because of my experience and grit. My wife and I don't have engagement or bridal portraits. We don't have really great quality photos of the stuff surrounding the wedding, we just have a few shots from the wedding and reception. The reason we don't have more is because we didn't have money when we married (like we do now -haha) We couldn't afford to have anything like that done.

Here is a photo of everything that we got from the wedding. Well actually the top photo is one of The Babe and I got her. Yup, that's it - we were really razzle-dazzled by our photographer and I guess you can tell.

So now I make sure that there are engagement portraits, there are bridal portraits, I do photograph the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Then after the wedding is over, I don't just hand you 100 proofs and say have a nice life - Oh No - In my mind, I think about what I would like to see, hold, have, and experience, then I make some of that happen, or at least be available to you. That's how I roll.

A friend - Old Seventy-Seven - linked me to the website www.Godtube.com Some of it is pretty funny, but I'll bet, if you look long enough, you'll find something offensive or un-Godly.

I'm in the process of posting the Dust-in-Joy engagement session for them to look through. I think that the photos turned out fantastic! If you are nice enough, maybe they will decide to share them with you.

This is one of the photos that I think turned out as one of the best. Remember that I am an artist and what I look for in a magnificent photo is not necessarily what we've all seen done before. I want to see something that makes me go - WOAH! I think this does it.

Oh yeah, check out "Not Sir Mix-a-lot" down on the right. I think it is hilarious and mostly true. I mean I know that - the Babe - has wide margins in her Holy Book - of course, it is NASB and not KJV but I love that too!

Not Tonight

Today was a day that we all experienced together. In my day, I put the final touches on this blog site for now, went to a Bible book store called -"The Scroll" where I checked out some great literature (http://www.amazon.com/Great-Marriage-Q-Book/dp/1414301820) by Gary Rosberg and his wife, bought a Veggietales DVD as a present for the party that I went to next. I saw someone that I hadn't seen since graduation, I messed around at a friends house for a few hours and then I came home. Now I'm headed to sleepy-time land. Goodnight...

Engaged

Hello. Today I had a last minute/ all the time we could squeeze in - opportunity to do engagement portraits for Dust-in-Joy. They turned out great! The couple is beginning to work as a team and I had a lot of fun watching them communicate until they started speaking in tongues with each other -I think that it was French - at least it seemed a lot like the French I've learned from my wife. Also, it is the very first Kilt that I've had the opportunity to photograph and it did present some challenges. Anyway, thank you Dust-in-Joy for giving me the chance to hang out with you guys and have some fun. I can't wait for you guys to be able to see how awesome the images turned out.

This photo shoot is the first one that I have done without my wife - The Babe - and since I am officially a stay at home dad, I had an extra hand on my crew. So today, The Waffle had an assistant - Chopsticks. Here is a photo of Chopsticks doing what she did best, assisting. She is holding a grey/gray card for me to use as a point of reference so that the actual colors that were out today would match what I produce in a color photo.
