WPPI Excitement...

Hello all! I hope that yall have had a good couple of weeks since my last blog. Things have been really crazy with school, projects, and midterms. (God willing my last midterms of undergrad, lol.) I am just looking forward to this coming Thursday and the starting of Spring Break!

About a month ago, I was hanging out downtown at the studio with Garrett and he tells me that he was going to enter a couple of the photos, he had taking in my senior session, WPPI (which is like the biggest thing for photographers). That kind of made me nervous that people would be looking and analyzing pictures of me, so I tried to put it out of my mind.

I knew that this past week Garrett would be out there, but I tried not to think about it and just focus on school. I went to the eye doctor Thursday, of this past week, and on the way home I get this text from Garrett, "Dude, check your email!!!" I quickly fired back that I would when I get home, I am in the car. To which I received, "Ok. Don't text and drive. LOL." (He did not realize I was sitting at a stop light, lol.) As I was driving home, it hit me that this was about WPPI. Racing through the door, I grabed my computer and quickly pulled up my email account. There it was one email from him, and like six facebook comments on a picture of me that Joy had posted. I opened his, which read, "DUDE..... one of your senior pictures just one first place individual portraits at WPPI. NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Uncontrollably, I started jumping around the kitchen, calling my mother, my dad, my sister, my cousin Steve, my grama (and thats how we spell her name, no joke), etc.

I am soo happy for both Garrett and Joy. To check it out go to their blog.

Also, a shout-out to my good friend Jashira. Happy Birthday! Had a blast last night at the party.

Talk to yall soon!

"Gifted Hands"

Hello all! I know, I know, I wrote last night and now I'm writing again when it had been two or more weeks since my last post. For those of you who did not tune in last night to the television premier of "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story," check your TV listings to find out when it is showing again on TNT. Cuba Gooding Jr. did an excellent job portraying Dr. Ben Carson. This film shows what sheer determination can do and how God works through people.
This film was really cool for me in to ways. One, I have been a fan of Dr. Carson and his witnessing for a number of years now. And two, because the director of this film, is the soon to be father-in-law to my cousin.
If you haven't had the opportunity to view it yet, I highly encourage you check it out. It is an amazing story.

Talk to you soon!

PhotoShoots

Hello all! I know it has been a long time since I posted anything, but I have been extremely busy with school and projects. This week I had two really fun photo shoots for my senior project, they turned out great. But I will not be posting those pictures until April with the rest of my senior project. I have two more shoots scheduled for this week that I am really excited about.
Also, I am glad that my new website is up and running and all the bugs are worked out. There are two galleries that are not up yet, but will be up soon. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

Talk to you soon!
