you're probably wondering where i've been.. so here's the obligatory dramatic short. we were under contract to sell our house, went under contract to buy a house, went on vacation in September and had a good time in Greece and even better time in Turkey. 2 weeks after we returned.. we sold our house, the day after... i got laid off, we cancelled the contract on purchasing said new home. in one day went from future plans known to jobless and technically homeless all at the same time.
sounds scary right? ok so i probably thought so myself at first too. but really it has just changed things completely. finally giving me that slim chance on doing something different. something creative. something i've ultimately wanted to do. i mean srsly who really wants to test software and programs every day. i mean it's work. and work is good. and my old job had the best coworkers evar. so for those days after when i was sentimental and sad.. it was because of them. also luckily for us we were able to lease back our house from the new owners. and i went on pursuing photography/graphic design/ styling/cinematography over the last few months. it may be going slowly, but steady enough for an upstart.
now it's march, i video'd my first wedding, then second, turned 30, got some new equipment, and moving into a new house.. things are looking better and brighter each day. resets can be good man.

hi Melissa! You and Thomas are so resilient! Such incredible circumstances in a short amount of time. I am really happy for you in pursuing your artistic and creative side while managing your own business. =) You are so talented!! Your graphic designs are especially beautiful, I really like the lay-outs and the style!! I'm back in Houston now, see you again soon. :)))
Good luck!! I finally took the plunge and got myself some camera equipment. I can totally see the draw =)
Issa, yes, I was at Danny Nguyen's show, but I probably looked like a chicken with my head cut off! :) You, Tramanh, Erika, and I should all get together sometime!
any suggestions on good eating in Chicago? I haven't been in a few years and don't know anyone living there anymore
I absolutely lovee the photo's coloration... Funny that a lot of my photo friends (the pros?) always blast those away... Well I guess I am always the non-conformist... Love the photo anyway...
