Skateboard Portraits

I had a shoot yesterday with a new model to test out a new super-wide angle lens, and reintroduce myself with an old love (the Lens Baby). Great model and great location under the freeway in Lehi. We had to dodge pigeon poop and feathers galore. I am dabbling my hand in more fashionistic kind of photos. Love the Lens Baby.

Fenway No No

This past Monday, one of my dreams of attending Fenway Park in Boston was realized as we hit a game after the HOW Conference let out for the day. I dragged my two reluctant fellow designers from BYU along. They wanted the Royals to win. They complained about the tinyness of the seats and other things. I enjoyed being at the park and witnessing the nostalgia. After the sixth inning, I noticed that Lester had a no-hitter going. Holy Fetch, cool, but too early to get excited, could easily be broken up. And I didn't want to jinx it. Lester then retired the Royals in the seventh, and the crowd started to buzz. I decided to text everyone that would be interested that Lester had a no-no through 7.

By now, the crowd was standing and chanting "Let's Go Lester!" It was amazing. He proceeded to make history and completed the no-hitter and the crowd erupted. I was so excited and couldn't believe that I made it to this history, as only 232 no-hitters have been thrown in the history of pro baseball. Amazing. A good thing to happen to this pitcher, Jon Lester. Oh, and my bum friends thanked me for dragging them along.

May Goal

I have decided to go bonkers this summer with photoshoots, to build my portfolio and increase my downloads on iStock. I currently stand a little over 70,000 downloads, and I hope to hit 100,000 by end of November. I am going crazy with ideas, and I need to get them done! I hope the wife supports me on this goal. As everyone knows me, when I get something in my brain, I am usually fixed on it like peanut butter on a twix bar. Yum.
