The "Blink" Re-Visited
So a while back...Riann
asked the question,
"What subtle thing/detail
from the opposite sex drives
you crazy" (as in it's a total
plus, draws an attraction, etc..)
Hers was sweaters...ok fine
she likes her men to keep
warm so they won't catch a
cold...Anna's was she likes
guys that wear watches...
ok she likes punctual guys...Seong's was he likes girls
with crooked teeth...likes subtle flaws in girls...ok
Mine..."I like girls that blink"...reaction WHAT
THE HELL!! Ate Tin, "like Snuffalupagus?"
Explanation: Ok...thanks to the Dawson's Creek
marathon (scroll down for joey potter example)
I feel a little more prepared in explaining my
answer...the "blink" creates an effect where the
person that is doing it seems to be more in tune
with their thoughts and feelings before speaking...
example and just here me out.. say, "James, you're
a dork" with your eyes open...Now say it as you
blink..."James" (insert blink here..hold it..tilt head
slightly to side...open your eyes) "you're a dork"...
more dramatic right?? more feeling behind it...
well it makes it seems like there is from an
observer...So in conclusion the blink represents
thoughtfulness, passion, and it's cute...OR it can
just mean I like girls with dry eyes...

"Puh-leeze just take the pictures......thank you...."
So, Ja asks me to shoot a wedding with him...I said sure,
going into it a little nervous because it's under his name
and I had to shoot the groom's prep shots by myself. So,
he hands me a 5D and says good luck. I get to the grooms
house and all the settings are wrong. It's shooting raw, the
white balance is set to sunny (i was shooting indoors), and
the focus was set to the bottom right sensor. This was all
discovered after a bunch of shots were taken. Not off to a
great start but luckily the pictures still turned out ok.
When I see Ja at the church...I was like what the heck are
you tryin to pull here...He goes "I was testing you son, you
should know to check all your settings first" .... Jackass
Anyways as the night goes by...Ja takes away the mic from
one of the uncles who just finished a speech to try to speed
up the program....as he brings it back to the D.J. he puts it up
by the speaker and creates that loud tone that almost turns
everybody deaf...I was standing in the back laughing...as the
bridesmaid in front of me makes a comment that almost puts
me to the floor...in the snootiest voice she goes,
"Puh-leeze just take the pictures......thank you...."
Thanks Ja for helping me become a better photographer.

Watch out Venus and Serena...
So my 2 little
cousins asked me
to take them to
go play tennis...
little did I know
was how good
they were...I
know they took
lessons and all
that stuff...so did
I when I was their
age...but they
really gave me a run
for my money
at my age now...
On the left we have Sheela - great form, doesn't
make unforced errors (made a boy cry in a
tournament cuz she beat him...)
On the right is Annalea - hits it hard (can be better
if she wasn't so lazy).
Here I am showing Sheela one of my signature moves, "THE GAME, SET, MATCH SMASH"
