29 JUNE 14
I went online to Craigslist today to try and see if I could find a legit wedding photographer. No, I am not getting married, but I wanted to see what people who claim to be photographers post in there. It didn't take long before I was extremely disappointed. I know in life that everyone needs a break. I am a firm believer in giving people a chance, but those people need to be those that have truly put in the time and effort, but maybe just haven't gotten that break.
So here is what I found. I found one photographer who had clearly used images from a better photographer as his postcard collage of wedding photos. When I went through to his webpage, I kid you not, every single image of the bride, groom, family, friends only existed from the waist up. It's as if he couldn't figure out how to do portrait photos by turning the camera, but instead every image was landscape. The pictures weren't bad, but they were basic at best. There was nothing special to them, no real editing that I could detect until in the slideshow there was one image of a gazebo in the background, and the bride and groom walking back down the isle where he's seen fit to add a fake sun flare most likely from photoshop elements. He added it right at the top of the gazebo, as if it were the star on a Christmas tree. It was (pun intended) glaringly obvious it was fake because the time of day was late afternoon on a cloudy day as there weren't any real shadows about the guests at all. He was charging 499 for his services.
The second one I found really had no grasp of lighting. All the guests, the bride, groom, were shot in midday which wasn't the photogs fault but his attempt to get them under shade was pretty rough. There were shadows from the trees above that made for splotchy faces and dress clothes. His next attempt at good shots, was right out there on the front lawn, but you know what you get midday---raccoon eyes.
The third photog was Mr. Flash. Every shot had that dead skin tone look of using an on camera flash. It really reminds one of the old disposable cameras.
It is absolutely true that in between the rubble out there, you can find a gem. You can find someone starting out, who's done their homework, and maybe it's a hobby for them, who cares, but as a photographer, you should not want to sign your name to anything that isn't of worth, that isn't done with 100% care, which isn't well edited, etc. The problem is, as we all know, you have people who assume they have a camera in their hands and as long as they can autofocus, they will do well and you always will have people who don't care about a good edit, or about someone who can handle tough lightening and will book because they don't want to spent a cent over 200$ on photography. You get what you pay for. Some people will be happy with this junk and others who've seen their best friends wedding albums will wish they spent more on the photography and less on their wedding flowers.
I've done two weddings myself and they are the reason I don't do weddings. I am no fan of the, this is the only moment this will ever happen vibe or of family members who aren't paying for my services barking orders at me about who to shoot and when, when I clearly have a schedule and shooting order from the bride and groom. Neither were fun experiences, and I left really stressed. I prefer the much more intimate experience of portrait photography. I love and crave that interaction between myself and my client or clients. I make it a habit to leave them feeling good and knowing that they trust me to shove a camera in their face and not have them looking crazy, but again, I wouldn't do it, or sign my name to it, if what I was doing was crap. I have put in many (wo)man hours, and worked on honing my craft, and have been no stranger to getting help or advice from older or more seasoned photographers. When you are humble enough to hear criticism and to hear advice, and are willing to admit you don't know everything, there is a chance for you to become a good photographer.

Here is why you should consider purchasing of a SpinaliS chair:
Back injuries result from damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles, or other tissues of the back. Common back injuries include sprains and strains, herniated disks, and fractured vertebrae. The lumbar is often the site of back pain. The area is susceptible because of its flexibility and the amount of body weight it regularly bears. It is estimated that low-back pain may affect as much as 80 to 90 percent of the general population in Canada.
Low-back pain is often the result of incorrect lifting methods and posture. Repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting motions of the torso affect both the degree of severity and frequency of low-back pain. In addition, low-back pain may also be the result of bad lifting habits. Sedentary lifestyles most often lead to weak abdominal muscles and hamstrings. This causes the stronger muscles which have remained strong to pull the body away from its optimal anatomical form. The imbalanced muscles cause people to continue to perform these repetitive actions. This results in misplaced force application within the spine, often resulting in hemorrhage of disks within the spinal column.

The Splash Snore Crash Tour with Camerashy68, FlashnBlur and Wiffsmith23. An epic 4 day trip with brilliant laughs, great food, bad snoring, two going for a brief swim and broken hire cars just added to the memories of this 1st Belgium Tour.

No history, all there I know is there is a castle in Belgium somewhere with rotting Alfa Romeos sitting in a garage underneath it. The light wasn't the best to start off with (probably something to do with early morning explores of course!!)
A spot of light painting helped with exposure times. An amazing place to see and photograph.
The Cullman County Sheriff's Office kicked off their 2016 Jimmy Arrington Rodeo experience on Thursday morning with over 1,000 special needs children from across Cullman County in attendance.
Special needs students from County, City, private and church schools plus representatives from Cullman Child Development Center and clients from the Margaret Jean Jones Center arrived around 9 am at the Cullman County Agricultural Trade Center. Approximately, 400 teachers and volunteers along with 40 deputies and command staff were also on scene.
The students were entertained non-stop by Dusty the rodeo clown and Woody from 'A Toy Story'. The children got the opportunity to participate in traditional competitive rodeo events such as barrel racing, bronco riding, calf roping, steer wrestling and team roping.
The children also got to interact with real-life cowboys/cowgirls and other rodeo stars such as 2016 Rodeo Queen, Mary Ashley Rohrscheib. After being the Queen of last year's rodeo, Rohrscheib has amassed a huge following of starry-eyed fans and autograph seeking devotees among the special needs students.
For many, the highlight of the special needs rodeo was the hay rides conducted inside the arena. Those rides were originally planned for outdoors. However, due to frigid temperatures ushered in by a Thursday cold front, the hay ride action was forced indoors.
Sheriff's deputies and other staff members assisted students who required guidance entering and exiting the hay trailers and the red dirt arena floor.
Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry was often the central figure in many aspects of the event:
"Our special needs portion of the Rodeo is the heart of the Jimmy Arrington Rodeo. With over one thousand children and at least 400 or so volunteers and teachers, the event has come off almost exactly as planned. When you see a few deputies with tears in their eyes, you know everyone is emotionally touched in a very positive way. This Rodeo is often the highlight of many of these kid's year. Lots of these kids would never experience a rodeo if the Sheriff's Office did not fully support of it. Seeing the joy, wonder, and excitement in these special needs kids faces is huge."
Proceeds from the rodeo go toward local city and county Cullman schools with special needs students. Last year’s rodeo, netted $500 each to 31 Cullman area schools. That is, $15,500 total, and established a $5,000 scholarship to pay for one year at Wallace State Community College for two students studying criminal justice."
Proceeds also fund events like the Sheriff’s Citizens Academy, firearms training classes and purchasing tablet computers for all 11 school resource officers.
The sheriff’s rodeo began in 1998 under the direction of former Cullman County Sheriff Tyler Roden. The late Jimmy Arrington was a sheriff’s investigator with 27-year invested in the department. Arrington was seminal in starting and then directing the rodeo. Arrington died in 2006 from leukemia, the Sheriff’s Office named this rodeo in honor his memory.

We had a week walking in the Lake District in August. We haven’t spent a week there in the school summer holidays before but it was a case of needs must regarding available holidays. We stayed B&B in Ambleside as we couldn’t get self-catering at short notice. It was cheaper and breakfast is included, the downside is that we couldn’t get out as soon as we would have liked. Saturday – the day we drove up –was forecast to be good but was going to followed by a couple of rainy days so we drove straight to Dunmail Raise, arriving around 11.30. I told Jayne we were nipping up Seat Sandal but once up there it would have been silly not to go up Dollywagon and Nethermost Pikes, and then of course Helvellyn was only a stride away. We didn’t linger long in the crowds on Helvellyn, we had a knee jarring rapid descent to Steel End. We managed to get to Brysons tearooms in Keswick for afternoon apple pie- you’ve got to keep it civilised!
The weather alternated between very wet and very nice, it was like winter on three days so we stayed low and just did half day eight milers – in waterproofs. We got soaked through. On the other days we walked in shorts and tee shirts and went high. The weather was variable depending where in the Lakes you were which made choosing a walk difficult. We went to Crummock Water and parked near Rannerdale Knotts with the intention of doing a walk we’ve done several times before. Straight up the nose of Rannerdale Knotts, with a view that gets better all the time, along the top to the foot of the slog up Whiteless Pike and Wandope. The weather was good for walking, although we had very light rain initially and it was cool for August. On to Grasmoor and then Coledale Hause, over Sand Hill and Hopegill Head. The ridge walk along Whiteside has to be one of the nicest ways to head off the fells. Ten and a half miles and 4000 feet of ascent, it was a decent day out.
The following day was beautiful so we got out as early as possible and headed up Langdale to Old Dungeon Ghyll. The car park was filling with groups getting ready for a fine day on the fells after so much bad weather. We headed up The Band, picking the climbers traverse under the cliffs of Bow Fell up as I wanted to get to the top via the Great Slab. This is a great way to the top of Bow Fell, far more interesting than the main drag. The itinerary after this was, Esk Pike, Great End – at the end of the Sca Fell Massif, it was tempting to leg it out to Sca Fell Pike but it looked like a football match it was that crowded. Back to Esk Hause up on to Allen Crags, back to Esk Hause again, Angle Tarn and our final top was Rossett Pike with its stunning views over Langdale. Down Rossett Gill to Mickleden. Just over 12 miles and 4250 feet of ascent, another cracking day.
Thursday was our last forecast dry day and the day of the Rydal show. The weather was fantastic but it was going to be bedlam on the roads. We walked out of Ambleside to Rydal and cracked of around the Fairfield Horseshoe. It was that calm that people were sunbathing on the tops by midday. Calmness was one welcome feature of the week but when the rain came it didn’t shift so quick. The following day we did a circuit of Buttermere in the pouring rain, it was just a case of walking the cooked breakfast off really.
