Palmyra Sports

Today I was a second shooter for Chris, a photographer from Baltimore, MD. I first met Chris at the Lifetouch summer meeting in Minnesota. Chris is a great photographer, he's so calm and collective when it comes to sports photography. If I lived in MD, I would definitely be photographing with Chris everyday even though he's a Nikon shooter :)

Drive By

On my way to work this morning, I felt so sleepy. My eyes felt like they were sewn shut, and I was peeking out. When situations like these happen, I try to call people to keep me awake. Since I left the house so early this morning, I figured everyone was still in bed. I grabbed my camera to try to capture what I was seeing in my head as I drove to work.

Walk to Remember

I love walking around my neighborhood with Heidi, it's so relaxing. I always find peace of mind. I get inspired when I'm with her. Tonight, I was playing with different lighting techniques and photographed with long exposures with my point and shoot camera. I really liked the results I got from our little stroll around Btown. Check out the photos and tell me what ya think.

Hoke and Joe Cool

Today I got a chance to meet with my graphics designer , Chris Hoke. It's always nice to have someone to create all the crazy ideas that I come up with. Chris is great at understanding my giberish, and he writes it all down in his cool note pad. The first time I saw it, I was like" I want one". Is it weird that humans want everything they see? So before I met with Chris to discuss updates, I was working my butt off to come up with some new ideas. I never thought brain storming was this hard, but I did it. Chris and Joe will be getting all the new stuff updated soon so be on the look out.

Jen and Jared

I'm crazy tired. Before I head to bed, I wanted to post some of my favorite shots I took at Jen and Jared's wedding. Check out the awesome couple.

I'm Ready

I think getting ready mentally is the hardest part about my job. I know I can take good pictures, but getting ready and leaving the house is the hardest part. I take forever to get ready. I walk around my room to make sure I have everything, and I do last minute things I probably don't have to do. Why? I don't know:) All I know is that I love photographing weddings. When I arrive at the bride's house, I am definitely ready to shoot.

New Crew

Man I can't believe training is over. That means our seasons starts MONDAY. Wow! time flies when you're having fun. I just got done training some really cool and passionate photographers. This new crew has been my favorite group of newbies so far. I hope they really like the job and stick with it because I see great potential in all of them.

Leather Craftsmen Convention

Last night Heidi and I went to Philly to attend a wedding album seminar. I love going to seminars, it's the best way for me to see whats hot on the market.

iBlog

Wow, what a weekend! I love catching up with people whom I haven't seen in a while, and it's nice to hear that they have been reading my blog. That's the best feeling ever. I like knowing that my friends and colleagues enjoy reading my posts about what I'm doing and where I'm going with my career. It is a gesture that really makes my job meaningful. It keeps me motivated to keep working harder. Thanks to everyone who visits my blog. Leave me a message and start your own blog so I can be a part of your life as well.

Can't Pretend

When I have time off from my photography work, I enjoy going out with my friends. I normally like going out to places that have a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Tonight, my friends invited me to hang out at Annie Bailey's. It was my first time at this bar, and I thought it was awesome. My friend Tati had been telling me about her friend Angel's band. Can't Pretend has been together since June of this year. Alex, a vocalist, said that it is challenging for them to meet because they all live in different places. Alex lives in Philadelphia, and there is another band member who is from Ohio. Each of them has their own music projects going on in the area where they reside, but it is great when they get together because they sound awesome as a group. Although this band has only been together for a short time, they already have a huge number of fans. The girls were going crazy when they played Unchained Melody and Brown Eyed Girl. I liked all the songs they played, but I was jammin to their rendition of Crazy (Gnarls Barkley). Eric who plays the jembee, and Dieter who plays the guitar make this group a one of a kind. They said they would be back to Annie Bailey's in two weeks so make sure you check them out.

What's inside your Fridge?

After my class reunion, a few friends and I went out to Annie Bailey's, a new bar that opened in Lancaster not too long ago. I always have fun wherever I go. I enjoy running into someone I haven't seen in years. Has that ever happened to you? It's like opening your refrigerator hoping to find something edible, and you are happily surprised when you find something you really enjoy eating. It is almost like when you wear a jacket or jeans you haven't worn in months and when you put your hand in a pocket you find some cash.

Class Reunion

I can't believe it has been 5 years since I have been out of Conestoga Valley High School. Wow I'm old! j/k. I wasn't sure what to expect from my class reunion. I knew I would run into people whom I didn't hang out much during my high school years at CV. My best friends: Benny, David, Duong, Mikey, Chad, and Dustin bailed on me so I dragged my girlfriend Heidi. It was nice to see so many familar faces. The coolest thing about this reunion was getting to see some of my classmates with their spouses and children. It was great seeing how mature and professional we have become. I think life has its ways of bringing you closer to people you think you don't have anything in common with. I am happy where life has taken me, and I am glad that everyone that I saw tonight has been succesful in everything they've done. I hope we can all keep in touch with each other as we get older because without friends life isn't worth living. I don't even know who won the game because I was too busy catching up with everyone. Check out the cool people I went to school with. If you think they look goofy now, you should see what they look like in our yearbook :)
