What An Honor!

I received an email today letting me know that I had received a huge honor — I’ve been accepted to be a member of Photographik! My wedding site will be listed there soon. I’m so excited about this, I can’t even explain it! Maybe sharing some of the information from the site will help to put into words what I can’t seem to express.

We are determined to become THE place to find talented, truly elite photographers providing wedding and portrait photography services to clients in the United States and all over the world. We screen every member’s online portfolio and admit only those photographers who possess a high level of artistic and technical aptitude. By offering the consumer a pre-screened directory of photographers sortable by region and area of expertise, we hope to expose the consumer to top notch photographers in their region as well as highlight the differences between cookie cut photography corporations and independent contractors whose work, we feel, is far more artistic and beautiful.

Just go and read a little bit about their criteria for who they list on the site, and you will see even more about why it is such an honor to me. This isn’t your usual site where just anyone can sign up – I actually requested consideration several weeks ago, and only after they reviewed my work for the following, was I accepted:

  • Technical proficiency
  • Creativity, Originality, Emotion, Art
  • Online Presentation

I’m just so excited, I had to share right away with everyone! My listing will be live there in the next day or two. Thank you again to everyone for your support and encouragement — especially to the fantastic couples and their families & friends that I’ve had the opportunity to work with! I wouldn’t be doing what I absolutely love without all of you!

Mobile Desktops…

What happens when 3 people bring complete desktop computers – giant monitors and all – into the local Starbucks? The reaction is quite hilarious! I love the Windows 95 machine. [Props to Laurie for posting the link on twitter.]

Speaking of hilarious things, after I wrapped up my client meeting at the Starbucks in Barnes & Noble this morning, I decided to walk through the magazine section to see if there was anything I wanted to buy. I passed on buying this, but the fact that anyone felt the need to publish a guide for Facebook really amuses me to no end!

Who Knew You Needed a Guide?

Soccer Mom Throws Down…

Everyone makes fun of me for my gang signs that I throw down, but obviously they are cool. Otherwise why would someone make a video about white chicks & gang signs?

Fo’ shizzle.

Don’t They Have More Important Things To Do?

Every time I see all the news about Roger Clemens and the use of steroids and human growth hormones, and the Congressional hearings about it, I just find myself puzzled. Yes, it is a big deal. It is wrong. It is a terrible example for kids that look up to sports figures as heros. But … why is Congress involved? Don’t they have more critical, government related things to be dealing with? Like isn’t there a war going on and a possible recession looming ahead?

But we’re focused on ball players using steroids and human growth hormones? I have found a website named http://toplegalsteroidsforsale.com/. I just don’t get it. Please feel free to explain it to me – I really would appreciate it, I don’t really know much about using an steroid so feel free to let me know what exactly is!!

I Don’t Get It…

The Houston Center for Photography is having a fine art auction of prints, which you can check out online here. There are many great prints there, some very beautiful work.

But a few leave me confused. I don’t get them. Some are almost snapshot like to me. Just … I don’t get it.

I guess that is the thing about art though. It is all subjective.
