So this morning I had the pleasure of being a human tripod for an engagement shoot. I was summoned to help hold the off-camera flash so it was a nice opportunity to see what goes on during a shoot like that. It was pretty interesting. It took me about 2 hours before I loosened up enough to bust out my own camera and take a few pictures here and there. And I guess because the pressure wasn't on me, I was able to comfortably snap a few pics. I am still by no means dipping my feet into this field but it was pretty fun. Until my arms started killing me from holding that darn flash for 3 hours.
After the long, and HOT, morning of shooting and sweating, we made our way to Barnaby's Cafe. A friend introduced me to it a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since. They have, in my opinion, the best burgers and fries in Houston. They sprinkle this awesome cajun seasoning on their fries that make them to die for! I always ask for a little extra on the side :) It's such a cute, adorable restaurant with loads of personality. They even let you bring your dogs with you (only on the patio, of course). I always find time for their food.
It's exciting getting back into photography again. It's been a good year and a half since I last did serious photography. I lost my drive and ambition somewhere along the way and went into a long slump so it's totally awesome that I feel that bug bite again. I'm excited for what's to come. Excited for what I'll come up with and what I'll create.
It's been too long. It's good to be back :)

Hi Alice,
Well it has been a long time but I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and thanks for, what is so far, an engaging and interesting blog!
Most of all, congratulations on getting married! Hope all is going well. Like you, I fell out of love with photography for pretty much the whole of last year but I think I may have just got it back again, after taking some semi-decent shots lately. It's strange how those juices completely dry up, isn't it? Anyway, it's good to hear that yours are back!
Take care and looking forward to more.
Ciao,

Hey Edd,
It's definitely been awhile. How you been? Its really good to hear from you. I'm glad you like the blog.. I've really been trying to work on it and keep it going so it's nice to hear that someone likes it :)
I do hope that you start up photography again. After going through all my old photographs, I kept remembering how great it was to take pictures. It was months and months of nostalgia that finally got me back into the groove.
You have a good one.
And keep working on it!
I have a lot of time for someone who can keep something like this going and, by the look of it, you have most certainly been doing that.
Nice work with the film shots - they do look awesome. Keep going and I'll definitely pop back here from time to time to check in on you :-)
You take care and I hope 2011 is your best yet!
