Ever so often….

someone comes along that is just annoying and I don’t mean like your ex girlfriend coming by annoying and no not even your relatives coming over for thanksgiving and staying till christmas annoying.. I mean annoying to the core of your being, annoying like nothing has ever annoyed you before. You wish for a HUGE disco ball to fall on their head and crack it open.. You wish that the sidewalk they traverse turn into one huge banana peel and that they slide on in speeding their way into oblivion.. You know what i’m talking about; well I found mine..

Yes ladies and gents it is the strange and very annoying Tatiana Del Toro from American Idol Season 8. Last night I sat watching the show gleefully, armed with oreos and a glass of milk to celebrate this idiots demise… to see Simon finally crush her into a steeping pool of tears, into a blubbering mess that she is always 2 steps short of. To turn this “DIVA” into a mess that we all would jump with joy to see……. Well as fate would have it, SHE ACTUALLY MADE THE FINAL 36…..

What the heck??? I am devastated folks, seriously, all that I know to be well with this world has now been turned over on to it’s head. Now I hope…. nay, I pray that this girl hits a HUGE demise and gets voted off in the first week of the live shows.

Oh so annoying!!! Oh great disco ball in the sky, where are you???

Weird and Wackyness all around…

Ok from CNN.com-

More spending on Palin revealed
Posted: 09:10 PM ET

Spending on Palin’s clothes, makeup and hair made headlines during the campaign.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican National Committee’s total fashion bill for Sarah Palin’s nine-week stint on the GOP presidential ticket is in: $180,000.

That’s $30,000 more than the RNC previously disclosed it had spent outfitting and styling the Alaska governor and her family, according to Politico and the RNC’s latest filings with the Federal Elections Commission.

The latest filing, which includes the final 3 weeks of the presidential race, shows the committee directed close to $55,000 to Palin’s fashion stylist, New York-based Lisa Kline.

The RNC also spent close to $24,000 in several high end stores, including Ann Taylor, Bloomingdales, Brooks Brothers, Neiman’s, Nordstrom, Macy’s, Saks, Target, and Victoria’s Secret.

The RNC has said all the clothes purchased will be donated to charity.

Ok so first off… we’re spending close to 180K on clothes for Mrs Palin, but what’s even worse is that I just realized that i’ve shopped at some of the stores where she shops, or should I say people shopped for her. Ok for those weirdos who think I shop at Victoria’s Secret, all I was doing there was returning their catalogs… They seem to send them to me, for no reason… seriously!!

Ok, so I don’t shop at Vic’s Secrets but I know some fine ladies that do, and it’s a fine establishment… But the last line “The RNC has said all the clothes purchased will be donated to charity”, I mean seriously RNC is going to donate Palins old underwear?

I can just see this on the auction block “Worn by Governer Palin on the night of her debate with Gaffeball Biden” bidding starts at $5000.00

THANK YOU, I’M HERE ALL WEEK!!!

Personal Goal #1..

Ok besides taking cool photos I wanna lose a lot of weight and i’m not talking like 10 or 15 pounds i’ve challenged myself in this next year to drop like 80 pounds maybe even a full 100. So i’ve been working with a personal trainer and working out but not eating right. Yep still tacos and burgers for lunch and even a late night sandwich meal is the norm.

Well the problem is that most of us are not educated on how to eat right. Well I found this one site called SmallStep.gov, it has a lot of easy to remember and understand tips on how you can control your portions, eat right and also some alternatives to our usual culinary trappings.

Check it out and join me in my quest to get hotter and handsomer!!!

Small Step

What a cool idea…

It’s not often that I come across something that seems fun and well, kinda cool… a friend of mine introduced me to the personalized Jones Cola bottles. If you don’t know Jones Cola, they are the ones with some fairly off beat flavors of pure cane soda. I personally love their Cream Soda flavor and the Root Beer (altough I found out that consuming 3 bottles of the Jones Soda in any combination within 5 minutes is not a good idea) and try to pick up a few bottles each time I head out to my other favorite place CENTRAL MARKET!!!! (ya’ll should really go there…)

Ok so back to point (see what happens when ya’ll get me talking about food?)

Go to this site… Jones Cola

here you can use any of your high resolution digital files that I give you (when you hire me for your wedding of course, hint… hint…) from either your wedding or your e-session or your bridal and get custom lables made, even put customized text on the back of the label if you wanna send these as gifts to family members.

What a cool idea.. I mean the soda is great, you know the images totally rock (yeah yeah I know modesty… LOL!!!) what a great combination that allows you to use your images in yet one more cool way.

I might start ordering a few cases with my favorite images and offering these at consults to beat the freakin Texas heat… see, one more reason to meet with me, besides to totally rocking images of course..

KNOT Best of 2008 Vendors

humza — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:54:22 +0000

For the second year in a row I have been nominated as one of the best photographers in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area. This award is actually a democratic poll (nope no hanging chads or whatever) and the votes are tallied by actual brides sending reviews of their vendors to the KNOT. I am both honored and humbled to win this two years in a row and thanks to all the brides that voted for me, you guys are my inspiration oh and yeah it helps that you guys are totally smokin hot!!!

Here is the logo that I now get to put on my e-mail (actually had it for a week or so now)

An absolutely adorable couple (and HAWT Too!!!)

Piyusha and Parimal, what can I say, two absolutely adorable people and quite stylish too. When I first met them Parimal was very quite and didn’t say a whole lot but the day of his wedding, Travolta, uhhh ummm I mean Parimal surprised me quite a bit. Quite the accomplished dancers their wedding was a total blast for me and my crew. Here is a sneak preview of the images i’m working on..

Another Year Another Win

Besides my loving clients who truly enrich me not only as an artist but as a person, I have been getting accolades from the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International organization for the past two years. Last year I had entered several bridal prints which all scored accolade of excellence awards.

This year I entered 3 prints from one engagement session that I shot for Jashley and Grant back in December. Their wedding is actually only a few weeks away so this is a nice surprise not only for me but for them. This is also a testament to the relationship and trust that is required between the photographer and the client to create awesome images that will last a lifetime for them to enjoy.

Here is the award press-release and the image that won the award. I called this print “untitled ” because I don’t believe that you have to title something to convey the feeling and the actual meaning of the image.

Print Release

Winning Image – “Untitled”

Only 12 more dates left – THANK YOU!!

For the 2008 wedding season I have limited myself to only 24 weddings and today with my 12th booking I now have 50% of the year booked and it’s only March. A heartfelt thanks to all my clients and friends who have refered new clients over to me, it is turning out to be a wonderful year.

Prison Break

humza — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:56:56 +0000

Man this season finale was really good and you could tell it wasn’t how they had anticipated the season to end due to the writers strike but it really worked.

Sucre is now in sona.
Teddy is now the new boss of Sona (and probably loving it cause now he has the power and a hot girl/nun for conjugal visits and 50 thousand dollars in cash)
Lincoln has his kid and a new woman in his life
and
Michael is of to lay down some hurt..

Oh and the company just recruited Mahone and Whistler seems to be the boss now calling the shots. How much you want to bet next season the brothers go after the Company.

Can’t wait for Prison Break Season 4 to start up!!!!

More Tampa Fun

I was looking today at some old polaroid photos and just kinda started thinking about the old days when instead of digital we had the polaroid with all it’s imperfections. I took a few of the images from Tampa and decided to give them the polariod treatment. Here are some of the results…
