going forward, i think i'll start posting more of my thoughts (some might call it rambling. LOL).  i'll also use this medium to talk about some of my favorite photographers since they've all helped me along the way in my photography business. also, i'll talk about what i perceive as my style of photography (which isn't a style really) and any other random thoughts that come to mind. anyway, for now, here some of my wednesday morning rambling-

the weather is unbelievably nice in washington, dc this week. almost tempted to stop editing photos, and just head out to do some shooting. not sure my clients would like that though.

i did a bit of traveling the last couple of weeks for weddings, getting schooled, and a bit of vacation.  usually, i concentrate on making sure my ipod has the right mix of music and i pick up a few magazines to read in the airport/on planes. this time, i decided to pick up a book called Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends by Tim Sanders.  it was published a few years ago, but I highly recommend it. it'll enrich you in your personal and professional lives. i try and follow the tune of being loveable and smart in everything i do- this book supports that!  i love photography books (and magazines, of course) but i'd like to expand my library beyond just that. any recommendations?

i want the new Canon EOS 7D. it comes out end of this month.

NFL season is here. and i'm very excited. it's been rough watching baseball- no offense to you baseball fans.

lastly, i leave you with this- "A child can always teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."

oh...so i don't leave without a picture, here's one from my hotel room in vegas. and i promise, i'll get back to the regularly scheduled photos tomorrow:
