POD: Taco Bowls


Here’s some crazy good looking taco bowl thingy’s from the skinny way of life’s back pocket.


Blog goals for 2012 and comps


Hey everyone! I want to start off by saying thank you for making the first 6 months of my second year the most successful yet.  As far as blog resolutions are to get some revenue generated somehow in order to go self hosted in order to gain more space for further expansion. I want to work with more companies, if they respond, in order to gain connections and some products for give aways and competition prizes. Also the monthly competition will start tommorrow. I will post more details later today with complete details.
Personally I want to try the shot a day for 366 DAYS, yep laugh at everyone doing 365 projects because they have no clue!  I think that this will help me improve greatly as an amateur.
So here is to 2012 for hopefully being a productive year for everyone!


POD: In the tank


This storage silo (in a sense) is part of the Hershey’s chocolate plant in Hershey, Pa.  When we went to their wild life park and looked up at these we were amazed at how large these actually are.  Nope.  I have no clue what’s in it hah!


POD: Sisters


Nice candid shot from CAM, check into his 3 shot updated profile also.


Update and POD


Dawn just updated her lil’ old profile with a whopping 19 new photos.  Please stop in and check them out.  In the mean time here ia one of those for the p.o.d.!


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No matter what religion or creed you may be, the majority of the world is celebrating family and friends around this time of the year at least.  I think that religion is only a part of the mystique of this time of the year.  Maybe it’s the winter solstice or just the legends of Santa Claus and other mysterious gift givers that makes everyone all soft.  Personally I think it’s kids.

Those with kids know exactly what I’m talking about.  The sight of your children or child opening and inspecting an unknown toy/present is priceless. No matter the reaction you are guaranteed a moment that will stay with you.

Be safe and enjoy your surroundings no matter how fun or how stressful they may be this time of the year, you never know if you’ll have another!


POD: Alfie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just going aloing with the puppy p.o.d.  here is my lil’ Alfie!  We call him Chewie every now and again…


POD: Sara


Little Sara caught in mid shake.  Andy i’m assuming she shakes alot?  In my experience these little guys just hang around and bark and shake lol.  Is Sara a chihuahua?


POD: In the web


Light can be caught, take that physics!


POD: Behind the trumpet


A memorial shot from the Gettysburg national memorial Park in Pennsylvania.  The memorial reads:

“This memorial was erected by the state of Louisiana to honor her sons who fought and died at Gettysburg July 1-2-3, 1863. In particular it memorializes the 2300 infantrymen of Hays and Nicholl’s Louisiana brigades, The cannoneers in the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, and those in The Louisiana Guard, Madison, and Donaldsonville Artillery Batteries.”
“This memorial is presented to the Gettysburg National Military Park by the State of Louisiana under the administration of the Honorable John J. McKeithen, Governor State of Louisiana, Honorable Lamar Gibson, Director Louisiana State Parks and Recreation Commission and the Gettysburg Memorial Commission”

POD: Fruit bowl

POD: Prettyfly


Outstanding color!  Great work.


POD: A little time in the sand


 


POD: In your hands


S. Harmon’s take on true love and commitment.  The sepia makes it feel true if you know what I mean.  Only b/w and sepia photos can add legitimacy and solid truth to a photograph’s subject  like no other color or tint scheme can.


Profile updates!


Both Andy Buckner and S. Harmon have both updated their profiles with a combined 7 shots.  LOOK AT THEM!

Dina Farmer and Andy Buckner submitted new photos for their profiles.  Sorry guys i completely missed them in my email!  Enjoy.

Some thoughts


Ok guys I have a few ideas for the new year. I think that I’m going to start a weekly challenge as well as a monthly bracket system. The system will act kind of like a leaderboard where what ever photograph that was submitted would win that month’s prize(depending on vendor compatibility).  At the end of the year I want to have a series of awards where the top shot of the category would win an exclusive award badge for their blog and something special. Also I need ideas for a logo based around an animal theme. Thanks guys please help and toss some feedback!


POD: Candid cat


Sometimes it’s good to be a cat!


POD: Homestead


Nice post pro. and subject Dawn!


POD: Nightmare before christmas


I caught this shot at the P.a Renn. faire this year during their Halloween festival.  The part was strewn throughout with massive arrangements like this reaper.  I would say that he was about 7 ft tall and was suspended about 10 feet up.  Pretty damn good park decorating this year on their part!


POD: Blue dye


Blue dye speed shot from my lady friend Jamie from Dackel Photography, what do you think?
