It had been awhile because of the holidays but a bunch of us got together again for friday night margaritas, which seems to have become a tradition of sorts (sidenote: tradition sounds so much better than habit, doesn't it? lol). These shots are all kodak portra 400 on the nikon f100, except one digital. I'll be sad the day I can't buy anymore portra and will seriously need to start stocking up. I'm pretty darn pleased with how they all came out, and self-scanned as well. More importantly, we had a blast and it was great to unwind after the first 5 day work week in a while had worn me out. I guess it did the same for Jennilyn, who at one point snatched her husband's margarita right out of his hands exhaustedly and adorably exclaiming, "i had a very hard day!" I caught that moment on film, below.

Those are my photos! On that CD album art and liner notes! Be sure to keep an eye out for the awesome new album from Jeff Scroggins and Colorado, both eye AND ear pleasing! If you want to check them out, check out their facebook or website. My photos are there as well!

Colorado for my bluegrass band shoot! The CD should be out any day now.

Something about being home for Christmas felt distinctly different this year; something felt like it was missing. I should blame the timing; we usually stay longer after Christmas day. But it just felt more like a product of our ages. All the members of my family seemed to go their separate ways far more often and I felt like I had less quality time with each person. But what brought us all to the table as usual were the games...Apples to Apples is always a favorite. So this is a post I hold close to my heart, to remember the rare, real fun we all had.
