MONSTER IN LAW Jennifer Lopez could make a career out of only making these cutesy type of movies (The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan) and we'd like her for it. Even though I think she's a really talented perfor…
KATRINA, YOU'RE ON MY SHIT LIST I really hate her right now. I just got in from watching TV at Ashlie's parents house (we still don't have cable here). I finally got to see New Orleans down under - 80 percent is no…
THREE DAYS IN LOUISIANA I decided I'm going to try to post a picture a day - just to kind of visually remember that day. I figure it'd be interesting beginning from the first full day I have being in Louisiana for …
KATRINA, THE WOMAN WHO I LOVE TO HATE Here are some shots I took walking around my parents house - it's down to category 2/3 now so the worst has happened so we are grateful about that. My heart goes out to those i…
CARPENTER, NOT Ok, I think its official I won't ever ben doing carpentary as a future career anytime soon. I spent all day with Dad watching him do this and that to put up wooden barriers on our house and their hou…
AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL : SEASON 5 wednesday, september 21st - 8pm ET/PT (7pm for me!) www.upn.com "stirred or shaken?" "i look like the diva, but i ain't" "ain't nobody more exotic than i" …
LIVING THE LOUISIANA LIFE Ah, Southern life - I always took it for granted even after I left it and said "I take it for granted." We got home with NO problems at all. JetBlue has the most excellent services ever f…
PACK, SHOOT, PAINT I hate packing. Seriously. I hate packing with my wife who I seriously love. I know I married her, but that's the point - I married her - who I thought was going to ALWAYS be on the "same" boat o…
SIN CITY Fantastic! It took me two nights in a row to finish it because I've been SO tired this week being so busy with shoots and packing. I really loved the way everyone portrayed their characters in the film - i…
THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES I was watching this on the plane flight back from Portland but halfway through, the DVD stopped and informed me I had a scratch on the DVD. Sure enough, I look at it - a scratch (a bad one) s…
BACK IN TOWN I had a great, quick time in Salem/Portland, Oregon for Shannon and Clayton's wedding that I shot. I caught my plane on time at 6 in the morning. I stayed up all night and finished My Sister's Keeper -…
NEW YORK MONOPOLY Towards the end of The Brown Bunny - I lost interest until the part where you know what happened, happened ~ anyway, Sarah and I started playing with our new boardgame! It's so cool because it has…
THE PIECE OF SH*T BUNNY ***if you're not interested in reading about vulgar (if you want to call it that) things, skip this blog. What? I'm so disappointed in this film which was directed by the star, Vincent Gal…
ROCK AND ROLL JANELLE It's funny. I'm still in NYC - my plane was cancelled!!! Now I have to get up (or just pull a friggin' all nighter since that IS my bedtime) at 3AM to subway/bus it out to LGA airport. My plan…
OREGON/NEWYORK/LOUISIANA Well, well - this coming week - it's going to pretty much be a whirlwind throughout three states for me. In about 30 minutes, I take off to catch my plane to Oregon (a wedding in Salem) and…
AMAZING BRUCE Hostage with Bruce Willis - amazing movie. I thought it'd be just a "been there, done that" flick, but I was totally surprised by it. This is definitely an add to your queque/rent immediately film. It…
DIRTY UGLY THINGS This movie really had such a sick twist to it. I enjoyed the shock value and the actors did well. There isn't much I can say that I could without ruining your "shocks" so I'll leave this review si…
THE WEDDING DATE Debra Messing is truly one of the most underrated comedic actresses. I know she's funny and all on Will and Grace but people don't give her enough credit for her other works. In this film, she port…
TARA/BILLY, WEEDS, LEHILZ AND VOGUE We had a nice time at the Hubers (well, practically already - Tara and Billy's new condo) this past Sunday. I went and did a photo shoot with them, expecting to do the typical b…
DAMMIT Ok, everyone is being such a good sport about being "tagged" so I figure I shouldn't look like the lone party pooper. First, thank you Sarahstyles for making my already busy life more "busy" with this! …
btw - I can see again! I finally got my glasses - see profile picture!
WILLAMSBURG AND A MINI FAREWELL PARTY FOR THE 2YEAS Finally, I'm getting around to blogging these long overdue pictures from last weekend. Williamsburg in Brooklyn is a booming area for the hip, blah blah people w…
I LOVE MY CAMERA I know you all know this, but I really do love my camera. I look forward to taking it to new adventures and levels when I move to Louisiana. be snap happy, it's a short life!
I SURVIVED THIS MOVIE Surviving Christmas was god awful. NOW, I see why it was a flop. It had a cute twist to it at first but it just became to ridiculous and a bit on the weird side in a BAD way. Affleck, I like -…
ICE ICE BABY Just finished watching the movie, Ice Princess - it was surprisingly good! I thought it'd be predictable and kind of cheesy in a bad way but it proved me wrong. Michelle Trachtenberg is a really beauti…
PACKING + SARAH = WHAT? I really am just going through a blur. We're all set to fly back to Louisiana in 16 days and today's the day we "officially" started packing, throwing out things, selling furniture, and a…
ALEXANDER, MOOOOOEEEE, AND MEG Sunday evening, I watched Alexander The Great which Colin Farrell is in. It's definitely not one of the greatest war epic movies ever made but I enjoyed it. It was almost campy - it h…
SAYIN' BYE TO MY GAYS AND SMOKIN' WEED Tonight was a "tv" night for us pretty much. Sarah and Melissa watched the E! special on the Simpsons, no - not the cartoons family. At 9:30, I watched Queer as Folk's Goodbye…
A WHIRLWIND WEEKEND It's Sunday around 5:45 pm as I type this. I am extremely worn out. When I say worn out, I mean it seriously like a hole in your favorite jeans. The worn out feeling isn't one we should get - w…
AMERICAN TRASH EVENING This neon sign was outside the bar called American Trash that we went to with CT and Thea when they arrived Thursday evening. I find it funny that drinking is considered as a sin. I think i…
how I wish I were here now..... (that's taken via sarah's SK in San Diego, CA)
SOUNDS OF BRAZIL Tomorrow, we have cool plans! All day, we'll be spending with with CT and Thea who arrive in town tonight from DC. Tomorrow evening, I'm going meet some friends who are in a band from Louisiana.…
GUESS WHO Yesterday, Sarah and I did some errands all early morning. I finally went to get my eyes checked out and it's not as bad as I thought it'd be - the doc just said I'm nearsighted and my eyes are really fin…
DELICIOUS BRITISH TV Oh man, I am so grateful for all these television shows coming out on DVD's! It's the next best thing to photography. I had seen an advertisement for Footballer$ Wive$ in Entertainment Weekly…
POOR NED Heath Ledge and Naomi Watts had started dating after they worked together on this film they made a couple years ago. This was also one of Orlando Bloom's movies before he broke out as a star. Basically it'…
PIX FROM CONN AND ERIN'S SHOOT Here are some pictures from this past weekend when we were in Connecticut for the Klusza wedding that I shot. I didn't shoot alot during the wedding digitally but Sarah got to take a…
