#5. There is just something special about dandelions (AKA blow flower). Blowing the little petals off as hard as I can just seems to have an immediate effect on my mood. It makes me feel like a kid again. Every time I see one I give it to Robin and just hope she is wishing something about me. I can't help it. I have also taught Estlin and Olivia to blow them and it is the cutest thing to see them try.

Bangs!

365 #4. This is the conversation that occurred last night at approximately 9:57 p.m.

Robin: I want bangs. (said in a slightly pitiful way)
Jeremy: Ok. (said half-listening)
Robin: Look at her bangs. They are sooo cute. (showing me a photo of a model in her In Style Magazine)
Jeremy: You want me to cut you some? (trying to just fix her problem... this is what men do)
Robin: Really? How long will it take?
Jeremy: 30 seconds.
Robin: Ok.

30 seconds later...

Robin: I think I changed my mind about bangs.
Jeremy: You look adorable.
Robin: You don't sound like you REALLY like them.
Jeremy: I really love them. (knowing this would happen, changes tone to sound more convincing)
Robin: Really?
Jeremy: I think your hair looks great because when it's down it will look so much more in style. (no pun intended.... since the idea came from the In Style Magazine :-))
Jeremy: Just don't wear it in a pony tail. It might look like you are straight out of the 90's.
Robin: That's how I wear it all the time, every day!
Jeremy: uhhh you look cute.

She does look adorable doesn't she?

#3. I decided to play around with my flash today. I bought Zack Arias's One Light DVD and loved it. I was so intimidated by using an off camera flash until I watched the DVD. I would recommend this to anyone. This is a simple self portrait using only a 580 EX II and a convertible umbrella. I probably took around 30 pictures and this is the one I liked. I look surprised, but that is just the face I make when I am concentrating. This was probably a shot taken just to check the lighting, but I found it to look more comfortable than the rest. I posted more from the series on my Flickr if you want to see (www.flickr.com/jeremythatsme).

#2. Today I came home to find a wonderful meal, that was made by my beautiful wife, just waiting for me. It is always nice to have a hot meal ready for you when you walk in the door. What can I say, I AM spoiled. I was washing my hands for dinner and immediately saw my beer glass housing a little basil plant sitting in the window sill. "How cute" I though. Robin thought this was a vase. :-) Cook me up some pasta!

#1. I have a busy job, family and marriage and I know there is very little time to fit things in sometimes, but I want to post more often to show a little more of who I am on a normal day. I am committing time out of every day to take at least 1 photo and post it's significance.




This is a photo of what my night stand looks like every night around 9:30. My phone is drained from the day and waiting to be charged. My wallet is void of any money. Robin, stop taking it. I need Starbucks. My tiny, but trusty Gerber knife ready for action if robbers break in. Robin got this for me for Christmas one year. My Target sunglasses are have been resting there for days due to the rain. It rained for almost 3 days straight here and we got a long awaited shower. Hadley is snuggled up in her bed, snoring away already. She got a haircut recently and looks like a Q-tip. For those of you who do not know, Hadley is a rescue dog that we got soon after we were married. She is a full bred Shih tzu that was saved from a puppy mill. She has been a very loyal dog and is wonderful with the kids. I don't know what the past 4 years would have been like without her.

G'night

102 degrees

I went downtown today with Anthony and Ambyr to shoot their engagement photos and had a lot of fun. There was perfect lighting but it was HOTTTT! I was sweating like a pig but Anthony and Ambyr were both great sports. It was my first shoot downtown and I could have stayed down there for hours. There is an endless number of cool locations for shooting. Every time I go DT I realize how much I absolutely love living here. I will also be shooting Ambyr's bridal shots in the next few weeks and have lots of fun ideas. Look for those soon.

perfectly timed accident

I took this photo at a wedding a few weeks back and every time I see it I get this feeling of excitement. This photo was taken just as this girl was taking the triangle off the table. The timing was perfect and I reacted in a great moment. I just love this photograph, mostly because it is a simple candid moment that says so much more as art.
