Those little devils! Woke up this morning to a trashed house. We'll get them back...oh yes we will! Looks like they figured out how to escape from our little trap. Drat!

I guess we're lucky they didn't destroy the homework.

It's so much fun having kids...I get to be a big kid, and what could be better than that? There were many more questions this year, so I'm thinking the leprechauns will have to get sneakier as the years pass. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. :)

I'm headed to Old Town Temecula today to see the Rod Run. I plan on shooting only 10 images. I wonder how I'll do?

I went to a speaker at that lame-o photography conference that only the non-cool kids went to and he talked about how he 2nd shot a wedding and only took 50 images, to prove to himself that he could do it, and how much more carefully he composed and exposed the images he did take. Can't wait to see your shots!

(03.13.10 @ 07:52 PM)

Jaime:

I really, really love these. :) I'm excited to see what you got!!! Though, I'm sure you did fabulously! :) I've made myself take only a certain amount of shots before -- I definitely see differently, and seem to be more careful about what I am capturing.

(03.13.10 @ 11:47 PM)

smittengreta:

um um um um ummmmm.......... I LOVE THAT FIRST SHOT!

(03.17.10 @ 01:47 PM)

Rachael Earl:

Love them both! :) Quality, not quantity, I always say when speaking about photographs and food.

(03.27.10 @ 03:00 PM)

Sylvia Borgo:

LOOOVE that first shot. E is getting so big! *sniffle* how they grow up!

(04.24.10 @ 02:26 PM)

My Charity Water Party

March 1, 2010 // Me / Totally Random

When I thought about a goal for my charity water campaign I felt that $250 was a number that if we reached it I would be beyond stoked, but really felt like reaching it would be difficult. After all the economy isn't exactly rockin'. So when I passed that goal early on I was shocked, and then I thought about it. I have some amazing friends and family! I really do! Many of you gave, and we have never met in person. That tells me a lot about you, and me. I am truly blessed! The people who will benefit from your generosity will have access to clean water for 20 years! Think about that. You all are amazing and I am a very lucky guy to have friends like you!

For more information on charity: water hit them up, and start your own campaign.

Point and Shoot Fun!

February 22, 2010 // Just for fun / Me

This morning I woke up grabbed some coffee, my point and shoot, and headed to Old Town Temecula. I was on a mission. The guys over at Rebirth had a weekly exercise I wanted to participate in. The assignment this week was warmth. I was torn between the first two images, and ended up deciding on the first one. I really had a blast just walking around old town. Next weekend I'm taking my daughter...we'll see how she does. :)

This was the first image I shot and the one I went down there to shoot.

It had poured last night and there were a ton of big puddles...I love reflection shots.

This alley is where I shot the next image.

And I just love this self portrait!

So what do you think? Hope everyone has a great week!

Zak

One of the best self portraits ever, in my humble opinion. Love these shots.

(02.23.10 @ 09:35 AM)

Laura Reaux:

I'm with Kelli on the self-portrait. Love it! Really glad you chose the first one for the warmth image, too. The second one makes me feel cold because of the shade. :)

(02.25.10 @ 02:40 PM)

chris Williams:

Hey Zak, thanks for joining the Rebirth assignments. And yes, that self-portrait is very unique, way to go using a different perspective.

(02.27.10 @ 08:13 AM)
