This last Sunday was our annual family photo. This year we had some good friends at Dreamlight Photography take our photos. It is nice when you can exchange services. I love to trade. Anyways I did their photos for their Christmas card last year, so it was our turn to get behind the camera. What was really nice is one of my other clients did trade with me from Orvis. Me and my wife got to get a bunch of Exofficio clothing. Which rocks by the way. We put on our new garb, grabbed the children and the 2 dogs and headed for Hayden. Our oldest Corban who is 10, just doesn’t like to smile. Kirsten took probably 25 photos and I could only salvage one of Corban actually somewhat smiling. To top it all off we have two little dogs who have no idea whats going on, so there never looking. The final photo, which we decided to go black and white this year turned out as such. Check it out. Well its actually 2 photos. The main photo plus one other image with my boys looking at the camera. Thank the Lord for photoshop. Lets see Sears try to do something like that eh? Thanks again to Kirsten and Dave for doing our wonderful photo this year.

Howdy Doody everyone.  As many of you know I use myspace as one of my main sources for reaching soon to be brides and other potential clients.  It takes up a lot of time but in the end its worth it.  I have a friend who goes through and searches out brides to be and adds them as my friend.  If they like my work they add me.  I was upto almost 1300 friends which equals out to a lot of time on the internet.  When searching for engaged women you go to the persons profile and click add as a friend.  Once you click this it sends an email request to the person and they can either approve you to be a friend or deny you.  Supposedly we asked someone 3 times if they would be a friend.  How did we do this, well once they deny us it goes back in the database that we haven’t added them yet so we try again.  This person emailed me and told me she was going to contact myspace and say we her harassing her.  Wow.  Yep, wow is about all I can say.  Myspace listened to her request and they deleted my myspace page no questions asked or without even contacting me.  Needless to say it hurts my feelings a little.  To know that you are not even anyone to myspace.  Just thought I would get this off my chest.  I should probably stop for now and go spend countless more hours adding all that I have lost on myspace.

I was checking out my blog today just seeing how it looks.  I noticed the photo on the top of it.  I was staring at it saying to myself thats a cool photo.  I then realized, yes I purchased a cookie cutter blog, but did take the photo I put on it.  Ha.  Sometimes I forget how many darn photos I take.  In case you are wondering yourself, it is a nightime shot of San Diego.  The settings were ISO 100 5.6 at 30sec exposure.  I must say I am proud of it.  Don’t get to San Diego as much anymore these days since my Great Grandma past away.  She was my main reason for going there.  It makes me miss her dearly.
