I'm headed to Old Town Temecula today to see the Rod Run. I plan on shooting only 10 images. I wonder how I'll do?

I went to a speaker at that lame-o photography conference that only the non-cool kids went to and he talked about how he 2nd shot a wedding and only took 50 images, to prove to himself that he could do it, and how much more carefully he composed and exposed the images he did take. Can't wait to see your shots!

Jaime:

I really, really love these. :) I'm excited to see what you got!!! Though, I'm sure you did fabulously! :) I've made myself take only a certain amount of shots before -- I definitely see differently, and seem to be more careful about what I am capturing.

Rachael Earl:

Love them both! :) Quality, not quantity, I always say when speaking about photographs and food.

When I thought about a goal for my charity water campaign I felt that $250 was a number that if we reached it I would be beyond stoked, but really felt like reaching it would be difficult.  After all the economy isn't exactly rockin'. So when I passed that goal early on I was shocked, and then I thought about it. I have some amazing friends and family! I really do! Many of you gave, and we have never met in person.  That tells me a lot about you, and me.  I am truly blessed!  The people who will benefit from your generosity will have access to clean water for 20 years! Think about that. You all are amazing and I am a very lucky guy to have friends like you!

And then I blog! Man I have the best of intentions and then something weird comes over me.  The dreaded social networking sites just pull me in like The Death Star.  Jeez even writing this little bit I have already checked twitter and facebook two three times.  Can you say attention deficit...hey that's cool I just got an email on my phone saying Lightroom 3 beta is out! Cool!  Well anyways back to my thought I need to blog more and believe me I will. It might not always be about photography, but you better believe it will be all me baby! By the way I found out some cool news about one of my head shot clients getting some work, and plan on sharing that with you tomorrow. So until then...you gettin' on the train, or you stayin' here?

Okay let me start out by saying that if this guy wakes up Jack from his nap I will personally get my saw out and chop the whole tree down.  Well not really, but the thought has crossed my mind.  For the last hour I kept hearing a chainsaw humming and finally got up to check it out and what do ya know a guy in a tree with a chainsaw.  I'm not sure, but I would bet that chainsaw + tree + fall = bad.  Let's keep our fingers crossed and when he's done I'll update everyone on his medical status.
