What An Honor!

I received an email today letting me know that I had received a huge honor — I’ve been accepted to be a member of Photographik! My wedding site will be listed there soon. I’m so excited about this, I can’t even explain it! Maybe sharing some of the information from the site [...]


Mobile Desktops…

What happens when 3 people bring complete desktop computers - giant monitors and all - into the local Starbucks? The reaction is quite hilarious! I love the Windows 95 machine. [Props to Laurie for posting the link on twitter.]
Speaking of hilarious things, after I wrapped up my client meeting at the Starbucks [...]


Soccer Mom Throws Down…

Everyone makes fun of me for my gang signs that I throw down, but obviously they are cool. Otherwise why would someone make a video about white chicks & gang signs?
Fo’ shizzle.


Don’t They Have More Important Things To Do?

Every time I see all the news about Roger Clemens and the use of steroids and human growth hormones, and the Congressional hearings about it, I just find myself puzzled. Yes, it is a big deal. It is wrong. It is a terrible example for kids that look up to sports figures [...]


I Don’t Get It…

The Houston Center for Photography is having a fine art auction of prints, which you can check out online here. There are many great prints there, some very beautiful work.
But a few leave me confused. I don’t get them. Some are almost snapshot like to me. Just … I don’t get [...]


My Kind of Cubicle!

I *hated* working in a cubicle. I have noise issues, and I can’t handle listening to people talk when I’m trying to work. So I have to confess, this would have been my dream cubicle! It is just so cute!


What a Week!

Whew! What a week it has been! Mike & I started Weight Watchers on Monday. We are doing the Online version because I know we would end up skipping meetings, whenever I’ve done the meetings they talked about things on the site that I had already read, and because Elaine is doing [...]


Superbowl Ads on YouTube!

Sweet! You can actually go on YouTube and vote for your favorite ads! Here is the Diet Pepsi Max one:

Hank, the Clydesdale with the big dreams:

The ability to breathe fire:

And my favorite - Thrillicious!:


The Cat Wranglers…

There were a few good Superbowl commercials today, but none of them are as good as the Cat Wranglers.

When I finished watching that one, I spotted this one - what the West would have been like with Shetland ponies! It is AWESOME!

So? Which one was your favorite Superbowl Ad this year? I [...]


Andi & Jason’s Engagement Session…

I’ve realized I have this need to blog photos from events over on the wedding photography blog in the exact order that they happen. However, since I was catching up after my surgery back in November, and then tweaking the blog layout and now the wedding portfolio photos, I’m just now getting to blog [...]


Baby Be Mine!

For more on Lauren & Dante’s wedding, be sure to check out the wedding photography blog. Lots of other photos - over there!


Featured Artists!

This month, Elaine & I - Fresh Photography - will be the featured artists at the Yale Street Market! We were even mentioned last week in the Chronicle!
Market coordinator Mitch Cohen says, “Christine and Elaine are what we are all about, finding your passion and sharing it with others. They’ve been chosen as [...]
