Time	Event
2:16a	Update #3 with more photos? I did it ma I did it!!! I need new journal friends. Suggest some?!?!??! _______________________________________________ The holidays were really nice around here. Stressful, sure. With the business' is that the plural? I'm too tired to really care or wonder THAT much but either way. With Crown Case Co. in a new warehouse.. and Shutter16 taking off as well. It's hard around the holidays let alone getting ready for Xmas with family in from out of town and five children... overall it paid off. It worked out well, it was nice. I received and gave some really outstanding gifts this year. As you go in relationships you can just gauge better what people want, need and want-need as I call it. Fun fun. Some of my favorite gifts are so simple but I never quite gave away what I liked the most so I get all or at least some of them again! Anyway, I like to play my life out in photos. For a while I stopped taking photos everyday. I just did them for "work" I noticed I lost a lot of my creativity. If you do not "use" you "lose" it's very true. The more I used to shoot the more I'd push myself for a better shot. A more creative shot.. "THE SHOT". So now.. I'm back. I've entered into several 365 day projects and just doing it for myself as well as my art and my business. This SHOULD be fun.I'm sure some days I will want to pull my hair out, will have to crawl to the camera blurry eyed exhaustion just to shutter release one still. One still to represent that day, my art, that moment. Here is to hoping. Xmas through a lens. I didn't photograph the holidays that much surprisingly it was just so hectic and I had just done a stint of like 20 shows in a row and finally had a moment to breathe. I'm a house photographer at The Milestone, oldest music venue on the eastern side of the country. Biggest shithole, best off road shows, hardest lighting imaginable. But I do every show and get stuff for my portfolio to grow. I love it, I live it. It has become me. anyway... xmas through my lens. Grandparents, son, all the grandkids. ( On to the rest ) I've had my share of ups and downs. More ups than downs. I'm positive on the New Year, I am to the point I refuse to accept anything else. I'm pushing.. on .. and pushing up.!

5:50p	Some of my recent work used. I took that photo :) As well as check out. http://www.shufflezine.tv/ Photos section for the Shuffle Loud Part, all are my images :))) I'm doing stuff for that magazine now as well so I really enjoy they used my work. I'm exhausted today. Drove out to Joe's warehouse, sounds weird . Crown Case Company has it's own warehouse now and other employees!!! anyway... drove out there as he told me he wanted to see me for lunch. We never do lunch dates anymore so it was nice to see him during the day. Cuddle a little on one of his big bad cases eat some Thai food, talk gossip on all our social circle and catch up a little while both of us were awake. Lord I love that man. Do not love being this exhausted. Tomorrow starts my really long work schedule and probably the biggest stint of shows since 2006. YIKES!
