Tis Todays task...

To create some GFX, here is a template I first constructed, I will post one of the finals drafts when i get it done. But take a look, I have placed a photo behind the gfx, but the final one will have live video playing behind it. Enjoy.

Nationals

A great oppurtunity, tons of work and lots of fun! We covered the Golden Gloves Nationals held at Devos Place downtown Grand Rapids. It was a lot of work to make sure everything worked and we had everything we needed to make it happen. Now the FUN starts of posting the fights, we need to add GFX, and clean up a few mistakes. In total we covered 33 fights in two nights. What a fun weekend.

the situation

In the coming months I have to do what I hate doing most...asking people for money. We need a new production truck, and being a non-profit we have to raise the money. So we are having a Cash Wash. No we are not washing cars in a parking lot in our swim suits ( that would be fun). We are using a drive thru Car Wash for four hours, you can come get you car washed for free, but we ask for donations. We are also taking pledges from people: I will pledge 10 cents a car type thing. We can do a total of 400 cars. Do the math if ten cents a car that is only $40. I will asking everyone I know for money and if you don't donate to a good cause then I will figure your are cold. We need a new truck....

Amieds On....

Spring! I love spring, new things are growing and sprouting up all around. Spring also brings baseball, NBA playoffs, sitting on the porch, grilling out, and warm weather to name a few of my more favorite things. The one down fall of spring is the pesky little green things that fall from the tree over the driveway. No matter what I wake up every morning to walk outside to find my car covered in these little things. They are a pain. When I was out taking these photos It felt as if it was raining. The wind blew and they fell. I like spring and all it brings, but I just have to realize that there is no sense in washing the car.

The horoscope said so...

I am not a big believer in horoscopes, but I do like to read them every so often. Today I read one the said I would have a good day if used my creativity in a positive way...Well I already had plans on working on a project today that will use all my creative powers to please the client. How did the people who wrote the horoscope know that? Or am I just applying what I read to my current situation. I am going to go with the later. By the way here is a photo that will go in my portfolio to demonstrate my ability to take real-estate photos.

Reflected

There is the part in Forrest Gump Where Gump is talking to Jenny about running next to mountains where the reflection in the lake is so clear that you can't tell where one starts and the other ends. Well I learned that was all a special effect. But here is photo I took trying to duplicate the same idea. The reflection isn't that great due to a fountain, but it still made a sweet shot.

Flowers

I pass these tulips everyday as I walk into work....I thought i would share them.
