On of my best friends and I went down to a local coffee shop to relax and kick back for a few. On the way down it was pretty miserable to say the least…big huge snowflakes coming down and huge puddles everywhere. The kind that you don’t see until your creating huge waves on both sides of your car and are like “HOLY CRAP…I didn’t even see that”. Then steam starts to billow off your hood and all is grand…LOL!

Well after making our way through all that we make it to the coffee house. Of course Sean has to have a smoke before we head in…typical. While he is outside smoking I decided to wait in the entrance and stay warm while reading their pin up message board where people in the area leave business cards and flyers for anything and everything you can think of. Sean seems to be taking his time so I went back out to see WTF he was doing. I figured he might as well of walked down the street to buy another pack for as long as he was out there. After giving him hell about taking so long we head up.

Sean puts his order in and I didn’t have any cash on me…I never carry cash anymore. So I go to the ATM they have in there and attempt…yes attempt to get some money out. After going through the motions of trying to withdraw some cash from this ATM…I get this piece of paper from the machine that says “Cust Bank Down”. Hmmm so at that point I go over to Sean and ask him if he knows what that means. He says no and hands me a 10 spot so I go up to order and and place my order and ask the lady behind the counter what that meant and she said it’s probably out of cash. Now come to think of it…this same thing happened to me the last time I visited this coffee shop. It didn’t dawn on me until that moment where I had a dejavu of sorts.

Anyway Sean and got our drinks and made our way into the lounge area…and there was this one guy in particular on his laptop and weird looking ear plugs in just making really weird movements and gestures into the laptop as if he was dancing sporadically for someone he was doing a web chat with…no idea. Left that one alone!

So after about an hour of BSn…Sean and I made our way out where he wanted to have another ciggy…so this is when I broke out my camera so I would not get bored and think about how cold I was. So these pics are from the front porch of the coffee house. Just random snapshot pics that I thought looked ok…well ok enough to show you all!

Just wanted to wish everyone out there a very happy, safe, and fun Valentines Day Weekend! If there is anyone out there wanting to get some beautiful photos of you and that special someone casually strolling around downtown and just enjoying your day together… please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up for this weekend to make it happen. Remember your Valentines Day by having your day sealed in time so you can look back and remember it forever.

Happy Valentines Day!

So I’ve been spending my time lately getting everything together to hit the photo industry early this Spring. I’ve been buying some new items to help round out my style as a photographer as well as looking into some other items that I am currently missing and doing a bit of research as well. I haven’t been doing very many shoots lately, but that is all about to change here very soon.

I do want to keep posting here on my blog to let everyone know I am still here and just because I haven’t been posting anything really substantial doesn’t mean I am not working behind the scenes. I will come out guns blazin and ready to take on anything that comes my way.

So here are a few photos I just took and did very quick edits on. They aren’t anything great by any means…still a bit soft for my liking, but wanted to post up something for your viewing pleasure.

Please feel free to comment too!

Thanks for all your support!

Well there was a forecast for a lot of snow heading out way here in Va Beach. For those that live here we take the weather with a grain of salt as it is hardly ever really that accurate. This time they nailed it as we have been getting a ton of snow today. It is almost one in the afternoon and it is still coming down like a champ. Here are a few shots I’ve taken this morning around 9am and it’s been coming down hard ever since and continues to accumulate.

I am getting ready to head out with a fellow photographer and take some more shots that I will post later tonight.

Hope everyone stays warm and enjoys the snow.

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday season. Merry Christmas…and Happy New Year!!!

Well I made a promise to myself that I would add a picture of my dogs at least once every month. I am a big dog lover and I started this idea for my blog last month and will keep it going. I think it will lead up to a great keepsake or maybe lead up to a full out fotobook or even calendar for myself one day. Since it’s Dec and the last month of the year I might have to do some xmas related shots later this month…we’ll see.

Here are the pups in Dec 09!
