Bad Blogger

I am so far behind on posting, but I have been taking pictures! Unfortunately PSE8 is holding all my RAW files captive. It worked yesterday and today I can't open a single RAW file in ACR. 2 1/2 hours later, I give up. Hopefully I will have better luck tomorrow!

Day 173 Man Vs Beast

This was after our family walk. The weather has been gorgeous lately and Spotty was not ready to go inside.

Day 172 James The Helpful Scout

James was nice enough to head out to scout some new locations with me. He was even nice enough to pose for a few pictures. Most of them were completely goofy faces as I was more interested in trying to get an idea of what the backgrounds would look like. In the one below I pretended like I was going to jump off a bench on him (yes he was upside down too)...we had a great afternoon acting silly downtown :)

Day 171 Twins Walk Off

I got the opportunity to work my company's booth at the Twins game. Free tickets, great seats and gorgeous weather. It was also fan appreciation and I was the lucky winner of a Dan Gladden signed baseball and a Tony Oliva signed Target Field opening day print! The only thing that could possibly make the day better was a win and the Twins did it in exciting fashion with a walk off hit! This photo was from earlier in game though :)

Day 170 Where Have I Been?

If you are wondering where I've been lately or if I am slacking on getting my posts up every day don't give up on me yet :) I have been busy trying to customize my smugmug site, creating a facebook fan page, getting my marketing materials in place and more. Phew...It's a lot of work, but it will pay off in the end! If you've noticed, I've added a couple new links on the top of my blog...one for my smugmug site and one for the fb. I don't have a ton of stuff on them yet and the smugmug site is definitely a work in progress (ugh, customization is a killer!), but just taking that little step to get my name out there and letting people know I am portfolio building is already paying off. I have been inundated with requests to take pictures and even from complete strangers :) If there's anyone who wouldn't mind giving me some CC on my site or knows how to customize smugmug let me know!!!!

Day 169 Repeat

James had a repeat performance from his previous race and tied his personal best time at 20:30! He didn't look very comfortable through the race and he's been complaining of knee pain. Hopefully his little body will hold out through the end of the season. I chose this picture because I liked the fact that the front runner was out of focus, Brian's dad (in the yellow shirt) was out of focus, but James was the center of attention in focus!
