I’m pretty anti-Valentine’s Day (a made up holiday for consumers to spend money), but cards like this make it pretty fun:

Have a great day, y’all.

Although the game was over pretty early on, I did watch the entire thing to the very end. I’m just one of those people that feels like if you will sit and watch your team blow out another team, you should also stay and watch your team get killed - being a fanatic about your team. Anyway, getting off of my soapbox, I’m still sad from last night’s loss to the F* Gators (again), but I definitely have some thoughts.

1.  Why does Corey Brewer get no love in the media? They just seem to want to talk about Florida’s bigs, Noah and Horford, and love Humphrey when he makes those 3’s. But what about Brewer? Quick, 6′9″, tremendous length, athletic ability on both ends of the floor - the person who really makes this Gators team win. I think he’s a sleeper in the upcoming draft if he declares, since all the talk will be on Durant/Oden.
2. Is there talk about Arron coming back?  I mostly think that’s a good thing, but after watching Shipp produce in the first half, and then disappear in the second with Afflalo back makes me wonder. Afflalo is definitely the team leader, but UCLA has to find a way to get Shipp more involved in the offensive flow. And with the addition of Kevin Love next year, there is so much potential for a great inside-outside offensive, along with staple Howland defense.
3. I’m interesting in seeing Oden go against Florida’s bigs. I am still on the fence about whether or not he’s going to end up a star or a bust.
4. Who’s going to match up with Brewer? I think OSU has a bit of an advantage in the backcourt with Conley and Lewis. Horford/Noah versus Noah could be a wash… But who’s going to account for Brewer?

Well, I’m no sports writer, but those are my thoughts entering the concluding game of this year’s tournament. I’m not happy about losing in the Final Four, but I’m glad to see UCLA as a basketball powerhouse again.

As some of you might already know, my car got attacked by a tree over Christmas break, so this is old news. However, I finally downloaded the card where I took some pictures of the damage, so I thought I’d post them here. Don’t worry. My car is all fixed now, but it was an interesting drive to work and back that day. Reason #278 why Jeannie and I really want a house… with a garage:

My family all gathered at my sister’s house a few weeks ago to send my little sister off to study abroad in New Zealand. I was still trying to finish up my roll of 400HP, and took a few pictures:

So… I’m finally unveiling a new look for my site, along with some updated pictures and a re-organized navigation menu… and this blog. This will be a work in progress, as I hope to be adding more features to the site as I shoot more weddings and get more ideas.

A big thank you to anybody who’s face shows up on this site. I wouldn’t be doing this if you guys weren’t so open to trusting my vision for photography.
