2008 Presidential Calculator "Obama or McCain?"

10.20.08

If you are anything like me you try to keep up as much as possible with politics especially when it gets this close to one of the biggest Presidential Elections in history. More than ever I find myself siding with both candidates depending on what the topic is. Some issues are so skewed and confusing I'm afraid to answer either way thinking I might answer wrong. I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag yet but let's just say this is the first time I am not voting for the party I am registered for but I'm voting for the candidate I agree with on the important and controversial issues. I've really been trying to study up on the current issues to help me make an educated decision and I stumbled upon one of the coolest sites. http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html It's actually a really fun tool even if it doesn't help in your decision it's a great conversation starter among friends and family. There's lots of these calculators out there and I don't want to get into any debates about weather it's biased or not but just take it for what it is. What I really liked about this site was that if you click on the topic it will give you a good explanation of what it's all about so you can make a justified decision on issues like "Kyoto Protocol". Sounds like the title of the next James Bond movie..... And to top it off.......I can't go without posting a link to last Saturday's SNL skit with Sarah Palin

One Semester of Spanish.....Love Song

10.02.08

During one of my late night editing sessions I stumbled across this hilarious youtube video below. This video totally reminded me of the little bit of Spanish I learned from my first semester in high school!!! Every one of us has "that friend" that tries so hard to speak Spanish on vacation in Mexico......Tim, this video's for you! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngRq82c8Baw

shooting for the "love" of it...

07.21.08

So often I am asked to bring my camera along to outings or events with friends to capture the moments of fun, and i am always happy to. I think it is when I unexpectantly bring it along when I feel that creative freedom to do what I want... Yesterday my family and our good friends, The Duque's, headed to our annual beach day to San Clemente to just relax and enjoy the day. Although I worked 14 hours the day before (and was EXHAUSTED), I grabbed my camera at the last minute as I was running out the door. I didn't shoot much, but when I did, it was so much fun! It happened to be San Clemente's Annual Ocean Festival, so we had a blast watching all of the sand creations being built, surf competitions, and walking around. The pier had a Vintage Woody Car show on it and a really nice man offered his car for me to shoot a few frames of Tristan:

Katie:

11 going on 20....

RJ, Cole, & Katie...fishing on the pier:

I have been so bummed that we are not going on our family vacation this year, so it was really nice to be able to take this time to enjoy the day with my family. It is times like these that I am humbly reminded of how precious these moments are and how lucky we are to have the family and friends that we have!

Should I or shouldn't I take the camera? I ask myself the same question running out the door. Fun post.
