two weeks before i depart for nepal, i shot a wedding for Rich and Anna Holsten. good times. good people. love all around...

i'm moving to nepal. i got a job. it doesn't seem real just yet. being paid to live and work in a country i adore is a dream come true. and it's a non-profit job. unreal...more soon on that happiness. 

for now, i'll celebrate what i love and those i love around me. 

i had the fantastic opportunity to shoot a wedding for a dear and wonderful person. my coworker and friend, cheyanne. if you know me, you know i used to be a christian in the strictest terms. i broke free of those chains about 5 or 6 years ago. ive learned more alot about religion in those 6 years than when i was a christian, especially my personal religion. i have a hard time conversing with christians because i know where they're coming from, especially when they don't really listen to my point of view. i used to do the same...pray while theyre talking, not really listen to them, as if their story would steer me from the truth i knew in my heart - that this could be false, everything i had built my life around. ken harper got me thinking. that and a book called Blue Like Jazz...christianity can be different. Cheyanne proves that fact to me. she shows love and understanding, the real kind. i see a realistic christianity in her, one i could come back to one day. one based on love.

thank you cheyanne for loving me. 

and i promise to post more soon. i'm shooting a wedding this morning. i've been doing 2 websites a day for 3 months now...lots to post! woot.

i'm now working with the happy and talented Becci Ames as a second shooter. gonna be fun! 

take a look at her work. And check out her plug about me : )

The Flyer 

gettin ready to travel...looks like we'll be heading to asia after august. no set plans...still searching for what and where we want to do and go.

i forgot to post some images before i broke my collar bone. i'm still shooting just designing more...i'll have images soon : )

these are from the dr. dog concert. i highly reccommend seeing them. they are phenom.

we got a new client that i am very excited about. the non-profit is called "Live the Dream Foundation" and they supply disadvantaged children worldwide with sports equipment. they specifically wanted orange and black colors. and so did the last client i posted about (excuses for orange overload). i'm really learning alot about photoshop and how to design eye-catching sites. i'm learning that your bag of photoshop tricks is very important. i haven't gotten any images yet for this client but when i do, i plan on making them an integral part of this site. i like how right now i'm learning more about design. soon, i'll be learning something else that will help me as a media manager. but for now, it's design and i like it : )
