On a more serious note. I love to see when my clients use the work I created for them on their own, websites, blogs, and networking websites such as MySpace. It really is the ultimate form of complimenting what I do. However, I have noticed a few folks cropping out my logo, and or not giving me a little love for those really ultra cool and hip pics.. (hopefully they are ultra cool... LOL!). There is a lot of you that have also purchased the hi-resolution images on disk as well. The paper work included with that ask that credit be given to me if images are used on a personal website.
I ask if you are using images in one of these situations that you please give me credit on your site. It helps other folks find me, and it really helps with my business. By doing so is like saying thank you. I allow such use as a thank you for being a customer. Every image I create is protected by copyright laws. It is because of these laws that a profession such of mine can exist, and I would love to be able to continue to provide my services for years to come. So, if you can take the time to mention my website on your site I would appreciate it.
Enjoy!

Cara and Nolan Tie the Knot
Okay, first off I had a wonderful time this weekend photographing the wedding of Cara and Nolan. Rhonda and Jackie thank you so much for taking such good care of me. For the person who was so kind to tie my shoe... Thank you! LOL!
The photos below are not from the wedding. They are from Cara's bridal session from a while back. They have been under lock and key until now. Normally, I put the photos in order of my faves, but I would love to hear what you all think. Tell me which one you love!
Cara made it very clear anything for a good photo during the bridal session. I would have to say she meant it to... Check it out....

It is a South Thing...
They are a wonderful couple and the stories they shared with me are just wonderful. It turns out Jason is a IU grad. He was going to school the same time I was working for daily newspapers up there. I know I met him when I lived up there, but I just can't remember exactly how. I can tell you the man makes the best ribs I have ever had.
Friday was a great day. It started with a bridal luncheon at the Majestic Grille. It was a wonderful place. Great food for sure. Then I was off to photograph the guys playing ball on the Memphis Redbirds ball field. I can say that was a first for me.
Every detail was planned. Between the wonderful taste of the bride and the wonderful job Amy Miller Wedding and Events did it was like a wedding right out of a magazine. It was just wonderful. How can you beat a wedding at sunset on the banks of the Mississippi River. Then at the reception they had an artist, Bradford Troxel creating a painting at the event as it was happening.
Thank you two for a wonderful time! Jason I need the info for your amazing ribs dude! Check out the slide show here....
Enjoy!

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

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.
Enjoy!
