Mr. Cool
There is this guy I know...
He's really cute.
He sings in the shower.
He always knows the answers to all the game show questions.
He takes care of me.
He always messes up the words to songs.
He cooks a mean macaroni and cheese.
He's quiet.
He's so funny.
He has to take a nap everyday.
He plays video games, a lot.
He knows how to spell everything.
He supports me.
His head is entirely too big, and so are his feet.
He's so smart.
He does the dishes.
His eyes squint closed when he laughs.
He loves me.
He makes me "me".
I'm so lucky.

(almost) Winner Winner!!
So, a little update on the Digital Photography School Life photo competition...
I didn't win one of the super cool top three prizes, but I made the top 10! I can't believe it. There were about 2000 entries and my little photo was considered one of the best. Thanks DPS!!
On another note, Edward and I are looking forward to our mini vaca to Vancouver next week. It is going to be so great to just get away and spend time together. Our typical work week is always so hectic, so it will be nice to have a little down time. Not to mention, I hear Vancouver is so beautiful that I can't wait to photograph it in all it's glory.
I'll leave you with another pic from last weeks shoot with Emily. Enjoy.

Broadway Baby
I ♥ taking photos of Emily.
Emily not only is my uber beautiful sister-in-law, but she is also an extremely gifted singer. I remember the first time I went to see her perform. It was at her junior recital. She walked out onto the stage in her fancy gown and the moment she opened her mouth, mine did too...it dropped open from complete and utter shock. She was amazing! I couldn't believe it. My goofy sister-in-law, who I often get into trouble with, was an amazing opera singer. Crazy huh!?!?
Well for all you talent scouts or casting agents who often read my blog, you need the incredible Emily in your next production!! She's totally Broadway baby!!

Human Frame
Last month I entered a photo contest via the Digital Photography School web site. DPS is a nifty little site that is run by Darren Rowse. The site is chock full of helpful photo tips, competitions and post-production tidbits. The theme of the four week long competition was Life. I entered a photo each week and spent quite a bit a time thinking about interesting ways to interpret the theme.
Almost two thousand images were entered into the contest, 1,925 to be exact. Imagine how stoked I was to discover that one of my photos was chosen as one of the top 77 photos in the competition. So awesome! It is such an honor to just to be in the top group of images. Thanks DPS!!
There will be a first, second and third place winner announced this Saturday March 20th. The first place prize is a $1,600.00 credit to DigitalREV. Now, that's exciting!
My entry:
"Human Frame"
Canon EOS 50D, 50mm, 1/500sec, 2.0f, ISO 200

When Life Gives You Lemons...
...make lemonade.
So, I had this perfect photo shoot planned out. I was going to shoot some of my friends from school. We planned to go down to the Santa Monica pier and and take advantage of the setting sun and it's perfect light. Well, that didn't happen. It was a nasty gloomy day, with a chance of rain. Ugh!!
Panic set in as we tried to think of another place we could shoot that would provide some weather protection. We decided on the LA Farmers Market. I was covered (sort of), just in case it decided to rain. Well, good news was, we didn't get rained on. Bad news, multiple kinds of light in one location leads to one tricky shoot. Oh my! So, in the words of Project Runway's Tim Gunn, I had to "Make it work."
I learned a lot during this shoot:

I learned a lot during this shoot:
-My friends are so great for agreeing to be my models and troopers for standing out in the cold just for the sake of the shoot.
-When lighting sources are mixed and the sun is still overhead, shoot in the shade...at all times!
-Fluorescent lights are EVIL!
-My friends are beautiful.

-My friends are beautiful.
It's easy to get shots during the golden hour when the light is perfect. It's nice to occasionally get a chance to practice shooting in lighting situations that don't always go your way.
