This comic is from the folks at What the Duck. I thought it was very funny. Oh! A little reminder. I am teaching a class on photography at Hunter Museum of American Art. It will be a six week class on Thursday nights from 6pm to 8pm. Come join us! On the second night there will be a special surprise!
Enjoy!

Photography Class - Hunter Museum of American Art
In 6 Minutes or What?
I received a forward from my uncle, Jeff today. I must say there are only a few people I will regularly open forwards for. My uncle is one of those folks. I will keep it short because I only have 6 minutes or something bad will happen... so the email says. Heck emails are better than fortune cookies... LOL!
This forward has some real good advice in it. Pass it along. Now you only have 6 minutes... HA!
Enjoy!
Jason
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: R espect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
Now, here's the FUN part!
Send this to at least 5 people and your life will improve. 1-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.
5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.
9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks
15 and above: Your life will improve drastically and everything you ever dreamed of will begin to take shape.
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. Do not keep this message

Basketball Stars
On a little lighter note here are a couple of images from my two older daughters playing basketball. Which I must say they are a whole lot better at it than I ever was. I was much better at consuming my share of Frito Pie at the games. If you are from Texas you know what I am talkin' about.
Enjoy!

First-Centenary United Methodist Church Presentation
I had the honor to speak at First-Centenary United Methodist Church in downtown Chattanooga this evening. There was a group about 100 present. It was a good time! The first time I spoke to a group this big.
What was I there to speak about? How to make sneakers of course! I was there to speak about photography. It was tough to try to pack in information in about a half-hour. I had decided earlier in the week to try to open up to questions almost immediately. I showed a brief slideshow of my work.
Just a reminder to everyone. I do this fairly regularly. I teach at the Hunter Museum. This time around will be a basic digital photography class every Thursday started at the end of March. Give them a call to register.
It was such a good time, and I love that they let me come talk tonight...
Thanks!

I had the pleasure over recent weeks to create the photographs for my freinds', Eric and Amanda, restaurant Easy Seafood Company. There food is amazing! The new website is just awesome. Here are a few of my photos from those shoots.
Eric is one of the most talented chefs I know. He comes into a close second to my wife. Sorry, Eric... Trust me folks it tastes as good as it looks. If you are looking for a place for a rehearsal dinner they have my vote.

The Nazi Truth
On a serious note. I was forwarded this piece by my uncle Jeff by 60 Minutes. It is a must see. It is about Holocaust. This is a piece of history we can not forget. Thousands of out troops fought and died stopping Hitler and the horrible things he did early on in the 20th Century.
It is important as ever to remember the sacrifice dedication of our men and women of today and of the past of our arm forces. When we have people around the world trying to say that the Holocaust is a myth it is absurd that journalists even report on such ridiculous statements made by these dictators.
It was real folks, and this is the largest archive in the world about it's victims. Oscar Schindler's List and what happened to Anne Frank are all part of this one archive. It is truly a wonderful piece.

Houston We Have a Problem!
As a regular listener you know the announcement of many changes recently. However, missing images from the website is not one of them. The hosting of all of the images of the current wedding and events that are up has went down.
I am out of town, but I have contacted Printroom's customer's service to get a possible ETA as to when everyone's photos will be back up. This is not a problem effecting a single person or photographer using Printroom's services. The entire system seems to be down.
All of your images are safe. There is nothing to worry about, however if for some reason I do not get a quick response Pictage is ready and waiting to take on everyone's images. Should I not get a response from them by Monday. I will take the necessary steps to get everyone's images back on-line ASAP.
I am sorry about the inconvenience, and I will make this delay as short as humanly possible.
Thank you,
Jason

Even More Changes - This Time with Pictage
For some of you this will not be much of a change for others it will be a big deal. As a way to help boost my production I will now use Pictage exclusively. With the roll out of their new website they have filled several gaps that I was looking for. All weddings in the up coming weeks will be uploaded to Pictage. Once there they will be up for 90 days.
This move represents a way to decrease production times, and the system can manage the large quantities of orders I receive flawlessly.
If you are a 2006 bride your wedding will be eventually uploaded to Pictage and you will receive an email on how to access your images. For now you can still access your images the same way you always have.
This is great beacuse it will streamline my workflow tremendously. Pictage produces wonderful product and has a wonderful customer service. As a Pictage photographer it represents more of a partnership than a lab simply fulfilling orders.
You can visit their site by going to www.pictage.com. I really think this will make a big difference in production times and other issues. Now, that they are offering more than ever to their photographers it just makes sense. If anyone has any questions feel free to email me or post your question right here.
Enjoy!
Jason
