Laugh. Love. Photo.

it's glaringly apparent that i don't blog regularly. you can't even call it irregularly. and i have attempted a couple/few photo challenges, but i always seem to let my life & priorities allow me to fall behind on challenges. so i am challenging myself. i am hoping that if i create my own challenge, i will be bound by a self-contract to complete it. i want you to know, i do complete my work. i complete my photo sessions on time & stay on top of my work. but stuff like this...i get caught up in my work, my family, my coaching and i 'put it off' for various amounts of time. if i don't consider it a priority, i procrastinate until i can't procrastinate any longer. anyone else a procrastinator? i have found throughout my life though that i do some damn good work at the very last minute. heehee anyway, enough about my procrastionation, back to the december 2011 photo challenge. i invite everyone and anyone to participate. i am encouraging non-photograph...

This is my friend B.  She recently participated in and completed The Susan G. Komen's 3 Day For a Cure. She walked 60 miles over a period of 3 days to raise money to help fight breast cancer.  I am an extremely proud friend! I could write a really long blog and dump my guts here, but I think the photos that you will find below speak louder than anything I could possibly write.  These photos are from the closing ceremony. I went to congratulate her at her finish and remind her that I was with her in spirit through the whole walk. This was my first time seeing a breast cancer walk or event. I've always been involved with the Relay for Life. But I'll tell you what, it was extremely emotional and touched my heart. Seeing 1500 walkers...their families...the staff that made the walk possible...all of the pink...all of the tears...it was breathtaking! Congrats B, I am one among many that are proud of your accomplishment! I love you and am grateful to call you my friend....

bloggin' seems the "thing to do", especially in the photography biz. so i suppose i should get with the times and start babbling about my thoughts and ideas through this online outlet. throughout my life i've owned several diaries and journals. but after a week or two of daily entries, i'd forget about it. i've never been good at documenting my life in written form. hopefully this bloggin' thing goes better than my journals...may they rest in peace. i'd like to preface my future posts with an apology. i am a rambler. and an opinionated one at that. but the cool thing about this being online is you can just click off the blog if you don't like what i have to say. ;o) also, i will be typing in all lowercase letters. i don't know when or why this habit started, but it's how i type online. i type very fast as it is and find that i can type much faster if i don't have to take the extra tenth of a second to hit the shift key. lazy? probably...
