Is it disturbing how many of my photos lately revolve around alcohol??? haha (crying inside)...lol
Anyway, this is a shot I've been wanting to try for a while and just hadn't gotten around to it. This one's for Mark, he'll know what I mean. I'd really actually like to do it with a little better work on the background but I had to put a little more processing in on this one so I couldn't put any more time in than I did.

Tonight, well there just wasn't enough time to take anything more creative than Danbo and bokeh. When in need you know...lol
Car shopping and home swapping continues. Updates to follow.

Sorry for posting this late, but Saturday was a total rush the entire day, but we all had a good time and had a decent photoshoot that night with a local charity fundraiser. Alya actually got into the act as well manning a mini studio setup at the event entrance.
Here's a shot I snapped with no meaning (but tons-o-bokeh) from last night's gig.
Anyway, today was relax central so I'll post again tomorrow.....back to the grindstone.

Day 12 & Week 2 of 52
ODC - Focal Point - I am focusing on strobist shots lately ;)
I miss this light camera body. I think I might dedicate a week to the T1i as it feels a little neglected lately. Anyway, I thought it looked like a creepy crawler with the 85mm and the gorilla tripod.

Shot with my GF's Cybershot DSC-W30 (could NOT get this focused). Two images stitched with PS CS5.
I've done a lot of shooting for lately. Combine that with baseball practices and regular work, I wanted to give all my stuff a good cleaning and honestly, I still wanted to make sure I knew where everything was.
Here's what the result was. Believe it or not, everything except the monopod, tripod, and flash stuff fits neatly into my lowepro slingshot 220AW bag. Great bag and with a little resourcefulness, you can rock out a lot of stuff. The downside? It weighs about 15 lbs....
I do want to explain a couple things though.
I love my 50D, but I'm trying to shoot my strobist setups (hence the T1i, or as a good backup), and the AE-1 is friggin awesome. I learned strictly digital for the most part so I never had the joys of complete manual function film camera until recently.
Just thought I'd share....
This is submission #1 for today's 365. I got kinda inspired to explore a new look today. Thought I'd toy around with it some. This shot is kinda cliche, but I really liked the way it came out. Tonight rocked and absolutely nothing happened. Alya and I just kinda crashed as I ran around the house all night "testing".

Ok, let me start off by saying, I'm not an angry person....mostly ;)
I had a killer shot planned for tonight and this crazy hard towel theme. I only needed one thing to go my way....rain
Guess what didn't happen? Uh huh. Anyway, huge fail. This was plan 3 (plan 2 was actually stupid). Alya is going to ACTUALLY kill me, I am fairly certain that towel = ruined. :(
On a side note, I LOVE that font...haha

Day 6
Not sure about all the negative space in this, but it was a total B to frame up right... I'd explain, but I'm seriously not in the mood at the moment. I saw a very similar shot about a year ago and always wanted to give an eye to my own take. I'm not sure which one I like better and, unfortunately, I can't locate the link to the other shot at the moment. If I find it, I'll give proper credit.
Anyway, close the books on day 6 and nearly our first week.....

I quit smoking about 6 weeks ago and thought I was doing pretty good at being a new non-smoker. Until like 2 days ago I caught a good look at what's becoming of my gut since I quit. Tonight I powered down like 5 of these bad boys....
I have to quit this kind of behavior...haha Hopefully Alya will give me a hand (because I think she had more than I did ;)

I was soooo not into coming up with anything "cool" to do tonight after a long day of looking for iPhone 4's.....not happy about that.
Just wanted to test a couple different things out for my single strobe month. This shot was my favorite but really wasn't a shot I was really hoping to get much from. This was my favorite shot though.
On a side note, I think Alya is about to resign as resident model.... I think its because she's just becoming too much of a diva myself.... Thanks again babe!

My buddy Matt has his 30th birthday yesterday so Alya was actually able to drag me out of the house to party for a bit. Just snapped off this shot while I was toying around at the table. Its just kinda how she normally looks.
I did have my first band promo shoot last night which was also cool. Still working on the images but I'll have something to put up pretty soon.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Matt....

Constructed in 1909, this building was first occupied in 1910 by the Hobson Electric company. The warehouse was next leased to the Maroney Hardware Company, which was bought in 1926 by Rufus W. Higginbotham and Hyman Pearlstone, owners of the Higginbotham - Pearlstone Wholesale Hardware Company, which was located here until 1977. The four-story brick industrial building, featuring corbelled cornices, remains as a focal point of the city's historic west end. RTHL 1986

Today was kinda okay I suppose. Ethan had his first game of live pitch baseball (no more pitching machine). So today was the day I'd looked forward too for the last 3 years that he'd been playing. Problem is, his team isn't the greatest.... We took a beating 20-3... Ouch. Ethan got hit at bat and really didn't do much else at the plate (none of his team really did).
He did play third which is good since he's one of the younger kids on the team. Being in the infield was good. Things can only get better from here right. Good.
Alya and I went on a run after that. Its good. We both need to get into shape.
As for the shot. I was feeling really blah all night and came up with the idea to do this. I wanted some bokeh, but hadn't really been too excited in leaving the house again after such a long weekend.
Back to the grind tomorrow.

Went out to a little bonfire get-together last night. One of my wife's friends had a birthday party. Nice little intimate affair out in the night air just hangin out.
Little beers, some chili and Matt's tragedy of the spicy chicken sandwich (long story). It did spawn a healthy discussion about whether or not lettuce has a flavor. Anyone else care to weigh in?

the pearlstone building...it's not really so grimey, i just wanted it to look like years of soot and grime had taken its' toll. my take on what some industrial areas look like and their effect on the environment.
this is an interesting article about the building and the area surrounding it...http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/spe/2002/hiddenhistory/1901-1925/070002dnhhprairie.447d9d9c.html

This is the awe inspiring abandonded Pearl Stone building seen from the I-30 bridge before downtown Dallas. It's a curious sight from the road, and was thrilled when my sister-in-law suggested we get a closer look.
