I'm trying out a new blog on Vox. It has a lot of the same community that I work with on iStockPhoto, so I'm going to try it out for a bit and see if I like it. If you'd like to check it out please go to the following link:

My wedding photographer, Eric Francis, was the 2003 Photographer of the Year for the Wedding Photojournalist Association. I came across this article and realized that one of the images used in the article was from my wedding! The image above is the image used, and here's the link to the article. Eric also just recently contacted me for a testimonial, and so I think some more of our wedding photos will be featured on his website.
I just was emailed about another photo of mine (above) that was used ... click here to see it "in action". ;)
I also hit an important milestone on iStock today as well: I have sold a total of 500 photos and made it to the Bronze level, meaning I can contribute more photos per week, and I also make a little bit more money per photo sold, too!

Just yesterday I found out that one of my photos (see above) has been used in a catalog! Here's the link to the site on iStock, and the link to the catalog it was used in (scroll down to page 6 of the pdf after it loads).

I was checking my "Together We Serve" profile (it's kind of like a "military" MySpace) and noticed that the former MCPON had viewed my profile! I thought it was kinda cool so I copied a snapshot of the screen. :) (I'm such a geek!)
This week was busy. Regular work was busy as usual, and then I had mid-watch last night so my whole weekend is shot (I woke up at 2pm today ... I'm just hoping I can fall asleep at a normal time so I'm not dead all day tomorrow!)
To balance out the busy-ness I have had some new "toys" to play with. I just got a new camera, a Nikon D200 with an MB-D200 battery pack to give it some more power and the bulk of a pro SLR I'm very much used to. To top it all off I also got a new video iPod. I'm a bit overwhelmed with stuff to do right now :) I also have a whole bunch of photos that need processing (I had around 100 ... about 1/4 of the way through them so far). The photo above is one of them I took last weekend withe my new black background.

Angie sold for the first time today. Yay!

I attempted to photograph water-droplets today, trying to capture them as they hit the surface. I got some cool shots to start out with, and I'm going to keep trying throughout the week to see what else I can get.

Did another photo shoot today with Amy's kids. What dolls! We had so much fun. She gets free babysitting all day, and we both get a bunch of great photos in the end. :)

It's official! I finally got my finisher's certificate in the mail for running in the Honolulu marathon. :)
