Some one is glad that I am home!

Don

This is my friend Don, we were both born in Willows Ca. Anyway I wanted to take a picture of him with his tattoo. It is a tattoo in memory of his nephew Steven who was lost tragically at a very young age. I thought it was important to capture it for him. It means a lot to him. Here is to you Don, it is a wonderful gesture to your nephew.

This weekend

Well I am almost recovered from my 10 months at Hallmark. Just kidding, it was intense, I miss Mass. I arrived in Northern California just in time to see and breath all the terrible smoke. It is clearing now, thank goodness.

I found a drop and pop sort of job to get money coming, will start soon. But I have tried to continue shooting, even if just for my portfolio. These are some shots I took this weekend. It was great fun. My sister came over and did the makeup. We made a day of it.

I miss all my 2008s - hope you are all well!!

I also miss calibrated screens.

Thanks

Back to being able to take pictures of the what I love most....

Wow it has been almost a month since graduation! What a month it has been. I got sicker than a dog and slept for 3 weeks. I slept because I was so drained from the last year. Hallmark is tuff for many reasons. We all know about the academic reasons, but the tougher part for me was to keep some kind of life going, with no money no job and tons of bills. I was taken care of while at Hallmark, by the outside, with out that help I would not have made it.

So I am feeling refreshed and ready to go. I made a crash landing and am now ready to try and get going again.

So thanks to all, your love makes me want to be strong and successful, to let you know I do not take for granted one minute what was done for me, what was given to me.

Mark thank you for this...it gets more inspiring everyday. I am so honored to have been able to be in the same class with you. Thanks Buddy!
