the fASHion Mill 1.4

I finished "the lady"

Well, almost. I still want to add a border around her. 

She isn't perfect, but I think that's okay.

MILLing about: Nashville (w/Carly)

Carly spontaneously came to visit this weekend. We decided to go wander around the town a bit since it was gorgeous outside. I, of course, took my camera along.

If you look closely you can see her reflection on the track. Total accident.

I've never seen this "statue" before. It's across the river at LP Field, where I've been many times. Strange. Got a few cool pictures with this thing. This one's my favorite. I think.

But, I also like this one:

The sun was definitely to the right of us (see below picture for proof), but this new building going up far off to the left of the batman building was reflecting light in both pictures. Lame.

Photomerge has become one of my favorite things to do in photoshop. It's so smart.

weekend Milliseconds

• Emo- You're getting married in ONE WEEK! Holy cow. Can't wait!
• Bo- Congrats on being an uncle!
• Liv- Welcome back to the states. Got any pictures of giraffes doing funny things in the wild?
• Courtney, Dwight, and J.J.- I'm gonna need to see a better game out of you guys. Got it?

the rumor MILL 1.1 (continued)

So after yesterday's post I remembered a class photo that I had from Kindergarten! Around Thanksgiving our class turned paper sacks into vests and used yarn and some type of othe paper material to make headbands with braids.

Eric, Raquel, and I are all hanging out at the end of a row.

Now, that's what I call recycling!

I can name about half of the people in this photo. Most of us went on to middle and high school's together. If you look next to Raquel, you'll see my favorite cousin, Paul (Bo-Bo), has his braids on too!

The end.

the rumor MILL 1.1

Rumor has it... the guys (and gals) over at allanglesphotography do some pretty amazing work. Recently they did a shoot with a couple whose wedding I was in two years ago-Melinda and Derrick Jeffries.

I've known Melinda for a lot of years. I spent one summer at her house diving for coins in the pool, making mud pies, and burying a time capsule. It's been great to watch her grow up into the beautiful lady that she is! There are SO many stories I could tell, but I won't.


Here's the best/only picture that I could find on short notice (Derrick, sorry for leaving you out). Melinda's the one on the left:



I go even further back with the faces behind allanglesphotography. Brian and Eric are brothers married to Raquel and Elizabeth, respectively. Eric, Raquel and I were in Kindergarten together!

I also had the privilege of being in Brian and Raquel's wedding:



Again, lots of stories, some sworn to secrecy. All I gotta say is I'm a true friend, right Rock?!?!


Anyways, check out their work. They're way more advanced than me! If you live in/around Louisville I bet they would love to shoot your engagement or wedding!


Love all you guys! Can't wait to see more.


(There are lots of uses of there, their, and they're. Hope I got 'em all right)

MILLiwatt??? 1.2

(My sister is going to kill me for this)

My sister and brother-in-law are expecting their first child! With a little help from Conan O'Brien and photoshop this here blog has a sneak peak of what their kid will look like.

First you need to meet my sister, Sabrina, and brother-in-law, Jim.

The rest of the people in the picture include my grandma and my cousins Corey, Renee, and Chris. This was the only picture I could find to suit my purposes...

And here's what their child will look like one day:

YIKES!

I kid. I can't wait until the baby is here for real. I'll probably be making a few more trips to Chicago each year. I'll probably also be broke because baby shopping is my favorite. 

They are going to be great parents and I couldn't be more excited for them. 

I hope it's twins!

a MILLion stories to share 1.3

You met Ty in an earlier post. We threw a housewarming party for him this past weekend and boy did we "warm da house" (thanks to Ty's awesome music).

First, we ate.

Then, Ty thought it funny to point out the beans. Nice.

We then spent several hours hanging out in the front yard.

Keitha and I. It was dark. Flash was bright.

Ty's pretty good at the face game.

So is Heather.

But she don't take no sass.

But she will ruin a perfectly good photo.

There are really no words for this. 

John looks like he's up to something and I'm terrified.

YIKES!

I sure do enjoy co-worker play time.
