Happy New Year! Last night we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and the kids spent the night with some friends. So what did we do? We booked a hotel room at the Hilton in downtown Austin, of course!
Good times. I love you, baby! Thank you for saying "I do" ten years ago.
Last year on January 1, 2008, I started a Project 365 - a photo-a-day project where you take and post a pic every day for a year. Sometime back in September I failed to complete the mission. I forgot one day to take a photo and while I could have back dated the camera and snapped one the next day, I didn't want to be a cheater. I felt bad for making it nine months into the year and ended up quitting. But I got over it and am now back on for 2009!
Shortly after midnight I snapped this photo of my wife and I on 6th Street. I thought it was a perfect way to start off the year.
For those of you just finding out about Pat Glennon you are in for a treat. Not only is he an astounding (my word) novice photographer (his words) but is an awesome friend that I have come to know through meeting him online. He is such a stand-up guy that I sent him one of my babies to play with . No, not my first or second born babies, but a camera that needed a new eye to breath some life into it.
Pat has that eye. He is a natural born photographer that is breaking out of his shell and showing the world what he sees through the lens. His subjects are all over the place, which is wonderful to see because that is where it all starts. You shoot, and shoot more, and find that niche that makes your work special.
Last week I posted the video, "Computer Friends" [Stack The Memory] by the Sniper Twins . I contacted them after watching it to see if the would like to do an interview for Quirkee.com.
