Including...dun dah dah dahhhhh, DUKE!That's right, you heard me. Duke. Duke Blue Devils. Duke basketball. I've had to justify my love for them over and over just in the past day because of the Maryland vs. Duke game. I LOVE DUKE! What's so horrible about that? They are the only basketball team (besides Maryland's) that I can name the coach, and name some notable players. I can tell you

So, we got a boatload of snow. I hope you guys had a great time out in it, and I hope that you're READY FOR MORE! HEAR that? Ready for more?? Another 10 inches possibly along the way, and work and school is already closed for tomorrow and possibly Wednesday (yes, Wednesday too). I do love all of the riff raff, makes us appreciate the great outdoors, the roof over our heads, and um....

I thought about ending this blog recently- with my joining facebook, and the world within it, I've been really slacking on updating posts. Even before facebook, I was only posting pictures!! So, what to do now, when I can post pics to FB, and my Jonas and Luna website- and stay in touch with everyone if I have anything witty to say, via FB?

We bought Ryder a snow globe yesterday for fun- so he could get excited about the impending snow. He stared at it for hours, turning it this way, and that.....shaking it upside down, watching the snow swirl around the happy snow man.

Tonight, more than any other night in Ryder's life, he was a happy, silly, funny, care-free little boy- with other adults. Other adults who've known him for his whole life...other adults that have never experienced this side of Ryder. I

I remember loving to be at Grandma's house. Us kids would play and play and play, while all my aunts and uncles would stay up late and play mahjong and smoke cigarettes in the basement. I'm an only child, so being with my cousins at my grandma's house was the BEST. I never wanted to leave when it was time to go. We'd lip sync to Duran Duran, do gymnastics on the couch, trip the younger kids

I've got another shoot coming up this weekend, and while stalking my favorite photography blogs, I stumbled across these weirdos. The trouble is...they remind me of my weirdo biznas associate SEED. Seed, why aren't you running around with these guys?? You look like you'd fit right in! It's a good thing..cause everyone likes a weirdo every now and then!!!! ;)Mammoth Men 3 Trailer from FRED

Those of you who know me know that I love Britney Spears.I've always been her BIGGEST FAN, andno matter what anyone ever said about herI didn't care..I just loved her and STILL DO!! And anyone who is interested (even remotely)should watch "Britney: For the Record" on MTV.Just turn it on when it reruns, come on..just for fun. Especially if you have nothing to do.Her PR group did wonders for

Dooce is pregnant again!!!I don't know what it is about Dooce that inspires me to write...I've followed her religiously ever since I read her blog at the suggestion of a friend two years ago. You could probably even say that I've stalked her for two years. Maybe it's because she loves Radiohead and Britney Spears, or maybe one of her posts reads, "Meet Me in LA, and Bring Weed". I don't know!

I've been getting headaches lately. Even with my contacts in, I'm squinting. It's time for a new prescription and eye check-up. As many of you know, I'm pretty blind. I pretty much live in my contact lenses. I can't see without my contacts, or glasses, at all. And if I wear my glasses, I feel like they're huge glass bottle bottoms stuck to my eyeballs, and I rarely wear them because of it.

In the two and a half years of Ryder's life, I've found it impossible to sing lullabies to him without crying. I can't ever sing one without my voice cracking, or my eyes tearing up. I've recently realized this when we cut out his evening bottles- we have to find a creative way to get him to bed- get him to wind down, and ready himself for sleep. We've come up with reading, of course...we let

So I did it! I dropped a load, and bought the d700. We went out to do test shots with it today, and you can check them all out on Flickr. This camera is IT for me. It's nice to be able to play with the ISO and white balance so easily, and the image quality is substantially better (in my eyes) then that of the d50. What a huge jump for me- and I'm back to square one as far as learning

I was thinking about buying the Nikon D300 today. I almost bought it. But I had wanted the Nikon D700 since they had made the announcement of its release earlier in July. So, back and forth I went for the last month between the two- trying to decide which would be the better purchase for me. The D700 is a grand more...and it's a hefty amount of change to spend- but after the research that I'd

So, on a lighter note..If you ever feel like giving away money for a good, hearty, laugh- I know a guy who'll gladly help you out. 10 bucks, 20 bucks, 5 cents, you name it. For 5 dollars, he might drink a shot glass full of hot sauce, or something similar. For 25 dollars, he might bend over, pull his pants down to his knees, put his ass out the window of a townhouse, and have a BFF gingerly place

I almost called 911 today. Almost. He woke up this morning in a fit of coughing. Cough. Cough. Cough cough. Cough. And then, he coughed so hard a few times that he puked. And then more coughing, and then more puking. Cough. Puke. Cough. Puke. Ok, he's done this before, no big deal. So he's not going to school today. We'll work it out. We always do! Until...the barking started.

So what's it like to be so old, Slowburn? I would like it to be known (finally, for the blog record), that everything that I've ever tried that might have happened to be "bad", has been ALL Slowburn's fault. Period. He's lucky his kid is so damn cute. It makes him a little more huggable too, no? =)Here are some pictures of your CUTE KID! You must feel super special. I waited til it was

Dear Baby Ian,I can't believe you're one! It makes us all a little sad, but what do we do? You're beautiful, and if you have ANY vibes like your momma, you're going to the rock the world someday. I love love love you, and everything about you. My only wish would be that you were here. Your mom and I got to texting about how far you and she have come in the past year. So, instead of texting

This is because it's coming up on Wednesday, and P and I always used to commiserate over how SUCKY Wednesday hump days were. I'd go over to her apartment after work, still fuming in my work clothes, and she'd be "prepping" for dinner. We'd spend the rest of the evening smoking and gabbing between stuffing our faces. I'd laugh at her while she complained over how much mosquitoes fucking pissed

It's been quite the weekend, and it was pretty low key!!So my hippylovergirl Amie (who has an amazing name for that hippylovergirl baby) came over with her killerloverboy Dylan, and I could NOT put the camera down for two seconds to catch up with her. I'm telling you that boy is sooo cute, I drool when I'm near. I lick my lips cause I just wanna shove my nose into his neck. I die when he looks

So this is a Super Friday Picture Post! Looks like I'm averaging about a week to process pictures, and I'm coming up with around 30 or so keepers from each session. Still need to become more fluid with the camera and the lighting, and I know this is only going to happen with constant practice. And let's talk about CS3 for a minute. I've always had Photoshop, it's saved me in the past with

I know it looks a little busy, and a little crazy- but after two full days of trying to figure this out, TADA! Thanks to the Freakishly Tall Husband (again), and Browser- for help in formatting the blog so my pics can be BIG. This is Luna at her best (for NOW)! Since most of my images of M & C were blurry, I tried to salvage the pictures by making them dreamy. Pretty dreamy, no? Jonas shoots

So, yes- it's been a busy night for Jonas and Luna. Here's your sneak peek, M & C! Thanks for your patience too- especially with this novice over here praying desperately for her camera to visualize you. Most of my pics turned out either blurry and unfocused, or just too dark. Again- lots to learn. But as long as we're having fun- and we're together, that's all that matters! I'm glad you

Had the very nice pleasure of shooting Ryder's Godfather this afternoon. Wow- is all I can say. Who IS this guy? Where did all these muscles come from? And let me tell you...playing with light flashes is sooo crazy. Lots to learn, lots to learn. But goddamn, I'm having fun doing it. Thank you Godfather- for your patience with us..and thank you for your hotness!!!!!

Thanks to the Freakishly Tall Husband and a lot of XML, here is the new look to Blue Ryder. I love it, and I hope that you enjoy it too! A big, fatty reason that started this whole face lift process was the ability to upload larger pictures to my blog, instead of the tiny "large" pictures that Blogger sets you up with. I now have the capability to link to a larger picture size....for better

I figured out that white balance is a bitch to control.I learned that bodybuilding takes some serious discipline..that which I don't have.I figured out that you always get nervous before and after a shoot, because you justdon't wanna miss that shot. The shot that the client is hoping for. Her vision maynot be the same as yours.I've learned that you CAN have three kids and still look like THIS

Olivia's Birthday on FlickrThe Seed's house is actually a beautiful place to shoot. And I couldn't have asked for a more brighter, beautiful day. The sun coming down on the grass and all of the colorful random things hanging from the trees is a photographer's dream.
