Matt And Sadie Engagement Photos

sirshannon — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:09:54 +0000

I was honored when asked to be in my oldest friend’s wedding. When I was also asked to take their engagement photos, I was honored and a little worried. I really didn’t want to mess up my friends’ photos. I ended up having a pretty easy time of it. they did all the hard work; I just pushed the button on the camera. The results weren’t bad at all, in my opinion. I’m waiting to hear what their parents think, those are the opinions that matter

I only had my phone with me so I didn’t get many photos but DAMN that was a good show.

Babyshaker Record Release Part at the Milestone April 10, 2010

Babyshaker finally released a new album! They threw their record release party at the Milestone and made it through almost an entire set before Scott finally gave up on singing through his migraine. I almost never get headaches so I can’t imagine standing on that stage with the lights, music, and yelling and managing to belt out 7 songs with a raging migraine. That’s real rock n’ roll, kids!

The record is great. There are songs I’ve heard and loved live and some I don’t think I’ve heard before. The production is raw but sharp, very full without losing the live feel. Hopefully they don’t wait another 9 years before they release their next one.

Iron Cordoba’s St Paddy’s Day Irish Party Photos 2010-03-13

Iron Cordoba’s Fighting Irish party was at a real gym this year: The Ultimate Gym in NoDa. They had to do quite a bit of work to get a stage, lights, sound system, and bar set up but it was nice to see a party/performance in a not only a different venue but a different type of venue. Hopefully we’ll see more of this in the future.

Google Buzz : Randomly Connecting Strangers Since Last Week™

sirshannon — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:44:41 +0000

I’m not sure why Google released “buzz” with a name far too similar to a similar product from Yahoo! without bothering to think it through a little better than they did. “Half Baked” is about the nicest way I can think of to describe it. Usually when Google releases a product that is far from finished, they offer it to test users instead of pushing every one of their users onto the playground before it should be open to the public. Some would call this an abuse of their member database and I can’t really disagree. At the very least, it is an abuse of their users’ privacy. Automatically adding friends and contacts and friends of friends and friends of contacts and contacts of contacts certainly couldn’t have been deemed a good idea inside Google, right? Seriously? But then again, Google Contacts is still the worst Contact system I’ve seen in 7 years, so maybe they did think this was a good idea. Maybe they thought conversations between strangers like this would be good, clean, fun entertainment for the internet:

or maybe they forgot that whole “beta” thing and hit the “go live” button a couple months too soon.

Eric Parks told me about his grandparents’ beach house a few months ago and I immediately wanted to schedule a trip to take photos there. It took a while before we got a group together with the right props but we were finally able to spend a few days on Oak Island and get some pics while there.

My Favorite Cloth Backdrop Found on A Sofa

I bought this cloth at a fabric store in Gastonia

and was glad to see someone else putting it to good use… It is the same cloth used on this sofa, as seen in the window of Neiman Marcus Last Call at Discovery Mills in Georgia.
