I Got a Sunburn at the Health Fair!

Granite Bay Montessori had it's 1st Annual Health Fair on Friday to celebrate the end of it's 1st Annual Health Week.  From noon to 3, kids and parents enjoyed a healthy lunch, Jamba Juice and lots of fun and games.  And I forgot to wear sunscreen.  Ouch!  Enjoy the slide show preview of the event.

Friends of Lloyd

I'm with Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything, 1989) when he said, "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.  I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought or processed.  You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."  

Call me an idealist.  It's true.  I'm not slick or tricky or pushy.  I don't want to sell anyone on anything.  It's not in my nature.  If you don't already know you want it, I don't want to convince you that you do.  I prefer to make myself available to those who already know that they want my services, and that what I have to offer is as valuable to them as it is to me.  It's a slower process, but more integral to who I am.  I can't see running my business any other way.  So, yes!  I want to you to buy my services and my images; I want to make a living doing what I love.  I just don't want to have to sell you on it.

Christmas Comes a Little Late...or a Lot Early!

I had a fun day at the park with this family just before Christmas.  The kids are so energetic and fun that a boring, run-of-the-mill slideshow just didn't seem to fit.  I just completed their family album & wanted to make a slide production to go with it.  This turned out perfectly!

Hey, Teach!

I was invited to teach a class on digital photography at Granite Bay Montessori for the upper elementary kids this summer.   I feel totally honored and excited about this.  I'm already thinking about making models that explain how ISO, aperture and shutter speed all affect light.   

I get to be a geek again!  I'm stoked!
