So the hdr is from the trip to acquire Sara. I just saw the colors in the clouds and knew I had to stop and take the picture. I love the way it turned out.

Out of about 300 pictures from tonight’s Tift Merrit concert, there’s probably about 120 that turned out the way I wanted, I’ve gotta go through and pick out 15 to go on the site. Here’s one of them in b/w because let’s face it, folk singers… b/w…. it’s like they were made for each other. :)

save the sharks.

So with it being Earth Day I wanted to do something on FanBolt, but not the typical save the planet feature. So I ventured out. The Earth Day feature is all about saving the sharks. It was an interview I did with Rob Stewart about his project Sharkwater. The killing of sharks was a problem I wasn’t even aware of…. 100 million a year. Check out my interview.

brief newspaper quote.

I was quoted in the Arizona Republic’s Sunday paper. I had no idea I’d be quoted in there with Chris Carter (for those of you who don’t know who that is, he is the creator of X-Files).

Very brief quote, but still cool none-the-less!

happy birthday roxy.

cola.

I went a whole day without a drop. You guys should be proud…. or amazed…. or both. :)

fall fashion and a hilton.

Saturday was the unveiling of the fall collections from all the designers. Ellie had myself and Nic down on the list to get in. We walked around for awhile looking at the new collections, met up with Ellie, met Nicky Hilton, walked around some more, then hit up cocktail hour, and the lastly the fashion show. I have video of 4 of Ellie’s pieces walking, and then the end of Nicky’s clothes walking.

I know everyone always hates on the Hiltons, but Nicky Hilton was a total sweetheart. We’re the same height. She was wearing higher heels so that makes her look a bit taller in the pic, but anyway, I expected her to be much taller for some reason.

I’ll upload videos if you guys want to see the walks. It was my first experience with a fashion show with the catwalk. Super cool. They walked 203 looks between all the designers, Ellie said that even at a Marc Jacobs they only walk about 50, so this was quite possibly the longest fashion show in the history of the world. But it was a blast none the less. Nic and I had a lot of fun critiquing all the different styles and the models.

After the show, we went for drinks with Ellie and her friend Natalie, and hung out just chatting for a hour. It was a great day. I can’t wait till the fall show.

Have I mentioned how much I love working for Ellie? Because I so do. :)

(I cropped Nic’s finger out of this one, but that’s why the lighting looks all funny)
