New Hobby

Anyone who knows me knows that I am notorious for my hobbies. I guess you could say that I'm a Do-It-Yourselfer to the extreme. Basically, the general rule of thumb here is that if I can figure out a way to make it, or do it myself, I probably will. SOOOO here is my new hobby! Actually, this is more than just a hobby, it's actually a necessity. I've been wanting to get a portfolio website up for a few months now and I missed my last deadline for having my website go live. One of the issues with this was that I didn't want a cookie cutter website, and since I've got that DIY blood running through my veins, I figured what's a better way to shoot two birds with one stone than learning html and css, and maybe a little flash and build my own website MYSELF?! This can prove to be a valuable skill, and I love learning new things, so you can see where to me, this just seemed like the logical choice :o)

I picked up three books from Amazon.com today. I can't wait for them to get here!!! :o)

Fun in the Sun!

One of my coworkers asked me to photograph her son's 4th birthday party. One of the areas I'm working on right now is nailing exposure in bright outdoor harsh light. Here are some of my favorites! The theme was Spongebob Square Pants! You can see more on my flickr stream :o)

These kids are TOO cute!

I just love the "fun" factor in this shot!

Fun with my new camera :o)

I took my 5d out for a spin, and wound up getting some silly shots of my friends as well as some shots I apparently was not allowed to take inside a popular home decor store. I was very, very sneaky ;o)

New Addition to the Family

So a no sales tax event landed me a 5d! I love it, and here are some of my first shots with it. Some of my images were too big, so I'll have to remember to resize them for the size of this blog.

Puppy Love

Okay, so they're not exactly puppies, but I had the opportunity to photograph one of my friends with her two dogs, Chico and Sophie. I must say that these dogs were really easy to work with once they calmed down a little! Here are some of my favorite shots!

Recap

Well, now that I can post big pretty pictures, it's time to recap and catch up!

Remember those invites I was going to send out for the Sex & the City movie soiree? Well, I never sent those out. Instead, I used invites from evite.com to send invites out. It was a lot quicker and very "go green" of me ;o) Here is a picture from the night.

I think our cosmos came out pretty good!

Take Two

Well, that did not work. Let's see if this does!
