Monica's Bridals

I went to the Capital building last Saturday in SLC to shoot some bridals and groomals of my friends Monica and David. Here are a couple favorites:

By the way:

I feel like I can do cool things. Check this out:

My brother-in-law, Ames (yes. I have a brother now. Cool or WHAT?) anyway, he asked me to do some head shots for him for this actor thingy something or other. Doesn't matter why - - actors need head shots. And i did some for Ames. (With a camera, of course.) And i think they turned out really well. And i think i'd like to do more sometime. So if you know anyone who needs their head to be shot with my camera, let me know. And tell 'em I'll do 'em for reeeall cheap, now, see?

Changes

So far in 2010:

-Marriage

-Haircut

-New Glasses

-New Apartme

nt and such

These things ar

e a pretty big deal, I think. Here's why:

Big changes means resolve. At least for me it means resolve. I seems like when I do one Big Thing, it emp

owers me to believe I

can do more Big Things. For instance - I got my hair chopped off - literally about 8 inches of difference! That helped me to decide it would be okay to get wacky glasses. Why? I'm not sure. But crazy decision #1 promotes crazy decision #2.

Marriage. This is empowering me to do even Bigger Things. Lately, I've been assessing various bus

iness ideas and looking at the library for books like "101 Best Small Businesses for

Women." Unfortunately, I'm not done with school yet. This is sort of a big obstacle but sort of not - because as a BYU student I get access to things like the "Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology." That's sort of a cool deal and could really help me.

The up-side to the school drool is that I only have 2-ish semesters left. 9 credits for Spring, a tour to Scandinavia and a sanctuary in Maine for summer, 14-16 credits for Fall and only 13 for Winter. Then it's over. Granted, "over" is in approximately 435 days (or something) but still.

Today Spencer asked "Where do you want to work after you graduate?" I told him that I've been wondering the same thing for months. Educationally, I've got ideas:

-Photography

-Graphic Design

-Marriage & Family Therapy

-Mass Communications

-and such

But as far as a "career" goes?! I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Technology?

So HELP me if the guys sitting in the front row who took the electrical outlets today - MY outlets - stay on Google Earth during the entire class period.

Don't worry - I sat in the second row to monitor. :)

Justin Hackworth

We made it onto Justin Hackworth's blog. Right on. I guess that's what you get for doing a photo session with him.

I don't think i look great in all the pictures. At least the ones he posted - we'll see what else he's got tomorrow when we go take a visit.

He's great!

Here's what I felt like I got from the experience of working with him:
*Photography Insight
*A Potentially Beneficial Relationship
*QUALITY treatment (I mean, seriously guys - water bottles with each visit!)
and
*Enthusiasm! I want to take pictures. I want to intern with him. I want to pursue this - the way Justin does it makes me believe it's possible!!

If only I wasn't in school. Perhaps I should start a countdown. Let me go check:

Got it! The 22nd of April, 2011. That's SO almost just a year away.

An exact 445 days to be exact!

Black is the Color of my True Love's Glasses

Purchased these today.

CANNOT WAIT ten days for them to get here.

I wish

I had time to exercise and cook and do all the crafty things i want to do. Sigh.

One of these days I'll get there.
