Sooo, Los Angeles has an African American Fire Fighters Museum?… About thirty minutes from where I grew up too! I tell you I love my job and my awesome clients who look for fantastic places to host events!
Congratulations to all the 2012 graduates celebrating the beginning of a great future.
I was recently asked if I had any projects in the works. The very thought makes me kind of laugh, because of all my current projects, (diy home office make over and solar dehydrator, garden, and a very busy business at the top of my list), none would satisfy this person. He was asking about my film projects. Not video or cinematography that we do professionally, but my personal film making projects. Sigh. I must admit, I have been thinking of making a new film, but ever since I entered the 168 film project about a year ago, I have been reluctant to do another… Until recently. Wow, I know! It took an entire year to recuperate from the very intense 168 hours of casting, filming, editing and submitting. This contest is not for the faint of heart! Yet my heart did faint! I was exhausted. Up ALL night for a week straight trying to create a mini masterpiece (uh not quite) with limited funds and resources just to satisfy my personal desire to visually depict a story. Insane! And yes, I think I’m ready to do it again!
Here’s the trailer from the first one.

I so love documenting the unification of families. Today saw us at the announcement celebration of Mr. and Mrs. W, a truly gorgeous couple whose family and friends came out to party!
May all your days be gentle and may you cherish each other always.
I just procured new photographic equipment and could hardly wait to give it a try. So, as it was evening/night time, I decided to descend on my Sis for an impromptu session.
Needless to say, I love new equipment, and my reluctant model. =-)
Saturday saw us celebrating the 100th birthday of the beloved Mama T.
People came from near and far to honor this beautiful woman.
I learned much about the history of my Fav’s family, and America just sitting around the table of her loved ones.
May your every day be peace filled and beautiful. Happy Birthday.
For Memorial Day, my pastor called up a couple gentlemen from our armed forces so that we could honor and pray for those who serve or have served our country with their lives.
Thank you for working to protect us.
The other day, my Fav surprised me with a trip to the Musical Road sponsored by Honda. I don’t really know what I thought I’d see, but I plopped my new Camera, and my old one too in the front seat with me just in case, oh and also since we were going on a spontaneous outing, we may as well bring our fur babies along too right? Poor Fav, I know he planned on taking me on a nice quick drive, but it took almost an hour to secure everything and everyone, the sun was beginning to set, Tui our pup flat out REFUSED to get in the car. My Fav had to hoist her in, Sarah the oldest, was getting grumpy, I guess she thought we’d never leave! But finally we were all settled in. It’s a good thing he thinks I’m cute, because, um half way there, he noticed my car was on E… sigh. But, we made it, and it was exciting for me. And although there wasn’t much to see this is what we heard
We only went once because, you know, the gas thing, lol, which he promptly rectified on our way home, but we plan on going back soon to the ONLY musical road in the United States (yes I’m so proud of my city) to see what it would sound like at different speeds!
If you’re in the area and interested, take a drive out toward Apollo Park on Avenue G, stay in the left lane, and enjoy!
