This is sad. One of those things where, in the movies, she would have held on until it was announced that he had won the election. Then she would just slip quietly away while everybody around her was cheering at the television. But not in the real world. She dies the day before the election. Never knowing if he makes it or not.

Of course the cynic in me now won't be surprised if get some additional sympathy votes. That makes me pretty cynical doesn't it.

Well it's finally here. A romantic comedy for guys. Zack and Miri is the sickest raunchiest romantic comedy ever made. And it was very fun.

Honsetly though I have to say I was a little disappointed. So far I have loved every Kevin Smith movie, including this one. With said however, it just doesn't stack up. I don't really know why. Something about it didn't feel right.

It was plenty fun. Lots of fake characature porn sex, boobs, and one free swinging shlong. Good family fun for all.

The best political video I have seen yet.

Back in the day these adds were more annoying than anything else. Even today they probably make my top five dumbest commercials. This one though was much better than any of those old beer adds.

So I processed all the images for Daniela and sent them to her. They came out great! I'm very happy with them. She seemed as happy as one can, in an communication medium as emotionless as email.

After her model release came back to me in the mail today, and I saw a couple of cool images on a photographer forum. They inspired me to try processing them again. This time with cool colors and more style. My first versions were nice, but pretty straight forward, nothing really exiting.

So I sent her an email thanking for the prompt return of the model release, and letting her know I was making new Totally Frelling Cool versions of the images . I didn't use those words, but that's what I said in my head.

I finished 2 Hours later. I had a dozen images that now were Totally Frelling Cool, as I previously stated, was what I was going for. I sent them to her, and put a few up on my Model Mayhem page.

Now that might seem fine, but I'm still working on them. Tweaking a little here and there. It's as if, I think I'm finished and send them out, or use them. Only after, do I realize they aren't quite right, and have to adjust them again.

That's what makes me a N3wb. If I were a real pro, I would make my adjustments. Look at them again in a week, tweak them a little. Then wait another week, and if I still like them, only then would they be shipped out.

This is a version of a desktop I'm working on. Something to remind me every time I sit at my computer, that I can be a good photographer. I hope it works.

Yesterday I shot a set with a new model Daniela Velez. Pretty girl, perfect sunset, I got a lot of really great shots in only 40 minuets.

They are much better than what she had on her ModelMayhem page. Better than a few I have as well. So they will help out both our portfolios. I wasn't sure what to expect because she's only 16. But she was very level headed and professional. Her mother wasn't over my shoulder watching every move. It was all very simple and easy. I will definitely work with her again. She does Parkour (think foot chase at the binging of 007: Casino Royale). In the spring we will try to get some cool action shots of that.
