The cards that are dealt

I have come to realize something:  I have realized that I don't know or hang out with people who know guys named Aaron.  I have realized this a few years ago when people started to carry cell phones in their pockets.  See my name is Adam, and not to many names come before Adam, except Aaron.  Big deal you may say, but it gets kinda annoying when my phone rings and I say "hello this is Adam...Hello.... Hello....." and I hear nothing but static and noise.  So I hang up, and if they call back again and no one answers I ignore the phone call.  This is also a pain because some times when this happens the people realize they just called me and then we have a weird conversation about nothing, and I figure it happened because they weren't expecting to call me, but felt obligated to talk.  I bring this up because in the last week I have talked to the same guy 4 times.  He just got an iphone and is still trying to figure it out.  

As for the photo,  I have tried a few new techniques out on.  If you can't figure out what it is, it is a kosko purchase.  We all like cheese balls, and figured we got a good price, or our friends did.  

Pals Photoshoot

Once again I had the opportunity to work at Pal's Diner this past weekend during the 28th Street Metro Cruise.  I got some great photos and hopefully a few of them sale so I can make some cash.  You can find the photos here on Tom Devette's site, he was the photog I worked with.  Also you can check out his photos from sat. and you can see where we were and what we shot for WKTV's video coverage.  I even appear in a few running a DSR 300 video camera.

Busy weekends supplies many laughs

The 4th annual 28th Street Metro Cruise.  It was another great event, cars, trucks, bikes, buses, loads of people all capped off with some rain.  But the best thing I saw, and I will stretch as far as in all 4 years of the event was this guy.  He performed for almost 45 minutes friday night at Pals diner.  I worked as a photographer at Pals that evening.  We took pictures of vehicles infront of the diner.  After I ate and made a few arrangements, he took the stage.  He is considered a performer.  He doesn't sing, but dances.  It was a sight to see, he is currently on tour, and has even made a few guest appearances on the WB.  What I haven't been able to wrap my mind around is that he has fans, but most intriguing is that he is professional performer and after two numbers he is sweating like an old drunk.  If only I remembered his name.

If you love them let them go

These are famous words and whoever said them is crazy.  They were probably said by someone you was dead inside and wanted to sound smart.  But I have found it time to say goodbye to my pet turtles.  In the next few days I have to decide how to say goodbye and to find them a good home.  It is going to be hard but the guys need more than what I am able to give them at this time.

Find interesting things

Everyone has their own agenda in life, some people want to be successful in business, some want to have a family and raise beautiful babes, other want to change the world.  I haven't quite decided what my long terms goals are, but I have some goals I want to accomplish, simple things really:  I would like to be presented with a big check, I would like to meet a vampire or werewolf, I would like to take an amazing photograph that gets published and talked about for years, and I would like to be the first to do something or discover something.   I was close the other weekend.  We were in spring lake on a boat and came across these birds, as far as I know Flamingo's are not native to these parts, and we got to see them and I fired off a bunch of shots to capture the moment.  I know I was not the first to see them, but probably close.  I can't check it off the list.  But the good news is I have a feeling I am real close to meeting a vampire.
