RockdaleSeniorPortraits.com


Hey all,

I'm excited to introduce
rockdaleseniorportraits.com ! This is the brainchild of myself and good friend Michael Severin. With this joint effort, we strive to give Rockdale County's high school seniors options for their senior portraits by providing professional quality, unique, and creative portraits for him or her to cherish at a more affordable price than the leading competition.  


I'm even more excited to introduce this second part of it all.  15% of all the profits from all the photoshoots will be going to a charity which I have worked with for a while now--The Mocha Club.  This is an amazing charity that serves different parts of the world that are far less fortunate that we are.  Guys, we are crazy blessed and The Mocha Club provides us a simple and easy way to contribute in a way that actually gets work done.  At the end of every month, we will be donating to an emergency need that has been picked for that month.  


Water.  For the month of March, we will be donating 15% of all profits in order to build wells for Darfur refugees in Sudan.  Their current situation finds them drinking water filled with diseases and parasites.  Mocha did the math, and it turnes out that $1 is enough to provide water for 1 African for 1 year.  For every photoshoot in the month of March, you all will be providing 15 Africans clean water.


So this is it guys!  RockdaleSeniorPortraits.com 


Enjoy!

Finally an affordable to print panoramas!

I've been searching for a while for an affordable way to print some panoramas that i've shot.  Everywhere I have looked it was far too expensive to print, and they usually only offered high-end canvas prints.  For me, cheap and decent quality was what I was looking for.  I found EZprints.com and was thrilled to find an affordable way to print panoramas.   

Here's the pano:  





I got my print in the mail the other day and it looks great!  The color is spot on and the quality is decent (considering it was only a $15 print).  I just quickly taped it up to the wall to hold me over until I can find a nice (and cheap) frame/matte for it.  

Here's the print:


Enjoy!

Happy Belated Birthday Makenzie!

One year from a couple days ago (February 27th), Makenzie became a part of my life.  I can still remember waiting in the office for her delivery...boy the nerves were high.  The anxiety of her delivery was overwhelming!  When finally she arrived in that cardboard box, I was overwhelmed with joy.  I had been so expectant and impatient for a delivery man.  I can still remember the intro video she played me...she told me "Welcome!" in oh so many languages.  And of course the first images she produced...oh the day I became an official mac user (referring to the first time I made the cheesy 4 picture thing with the ugly colors)!  She was mine, and I was so happy to make her part of the family.

You are one year old Makenzie--Happy Birthday!

P.S. I do not have any mental or social issues (that I know of)...I am just extremely thankful and fortunate to have a machine like Makenzie!
