Ka-ka-ka, Ye-ah!

I bet you have been wondering what exactly is better than brownies? Well, I am here to tell you what that thing is. That thing which is better than the illustrious, traditional brownie is this...the...cheesecake brownie! I am afraid that it is quite spectacular. If you haven't been to allrecipes.com, it is a most useful site for those who wish to cook your food rather than heat up/have someone heat up your food for you.

My back has been giving me whatfor this week. I am too young for kidney stones. I know that's not true, but I want to believe it is. I actually don't care what the pain is, I just want it to go away. On the opposite end of the news-related spectrum, I have a meeting with a client tomorrow to discuss her wedding photos. I think that is pretty much a done deal. Might have an actual job job soon, too. My band is going to be playing shows...a month from now. So, good things to look forward to. Also, I don't know if you have heard that N.E.R.D. song, "My Drive Thru," but initial reaction has been extremely positive. Of course, that could be attributed to BET's playing of a music video that isn't total garbage (see: Lil' Wayne). The album, Seeing Sound, is pretty dern good, too. Photos and such. Without the such. Maybe a little such.

Two Sisters

Not to toot my own horn, but this is probably one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. There is something arresting, disturbing, off about this. Still employing the cuteness that is my great niece, Madison, the open area on the right side is nothing short of haunting (at least to me anyway). I'd like to think that this was my sole intention with this photo.

It's Contagious

Plenty of things have happened since the last post - none of which job-related. Friends moved away, sibling rivaling, nieces come to visit, new births, movies seen, photos taken, etc. I got a whole bunch of film in the fridge now. I photographed the band. Quite pleased with the results. I hope all the individual sessions turn out as good as Edward's. I regret to inform that Lynn's must be redone. My band as well as one of my photos will most likely be in the Memphis Flyer! Here are some photos. I am not nearly as short on these as I am on words at the moment.

That one big square one is the latest edition of make-your-great-uncle-feel-old. Of course, a toddler provides a wealth of entertainment as opposed to newborns.

"Splattering Poop...

...like a monkey's racehorse." - Jason from Home Movies

Later today, I will have more film than I know what to do with. Later today, I will be photoing a birthday party at Shelby Farms for pretty dern cheap. Tomorrow, I might be photoing products (and model holding products) for the talented Ms. Maggie Hendren. I looked through some old art school projects and can't wait to start making my own prints again on Fiber Paper. Here are some black and white scans for your Friday -
