Tomorrow.<br />
It is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time with an unbelievable storyline. I was telling a co-worker about it this morning and said "at one point I caught myself just smiling at the television". I don't think I can say that about many movies.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ujDLXj2BLSA/TXARWEPaavI/AAAAAAAAALU/aZ-uXa2gxNU/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-03-03+at+4.06.06+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ujDLXj2BLSA/TXARWEPaavI/AAAAAAAAALU/aZ-uXa2gxNU/s320/Screen+shot+2011-03-03+at+4.06.06+PM.png" width="234" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For those of you who haven't heard about Temple here's your catch up. She is autistic. She didn't speak until age four. She was predicted to never function in normal society. She now has a bachelors degree in psychology - masters degree in animal science - doctoral degree in animal science & is a professor at Colorado State. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(among all the published reports, books and movies of course) </span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">She impacted the world of cattle farming like no other, designing corrals that reduced the stress level cows felt thereby making the entire process much more effective. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(that might sound like a strange topic to be interested in but I'm telling you, watch the movie) </span></div>Oh yeah, and she was named one of <a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1984685_1984949_1985222,00.html">Time Magazines 100 most influential people in the world.</a> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(so really, watch the movie!)</span>JRWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09825999557752490503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345342174486561825.post-3261476782783831922011-02-09T11:50:00.000-06:002011-02-09T11:50:44.531-06:00Dancers Among Us : Jordan MatterHold Up! Photographer Jordan Matter captures professional dancers around NYC doing everyday things in 'dramatic fashion'...and I love it! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.jordanmatter.com/photography/dance-photography/dancers-among-us/">(see all the details & pic gallery here) </a></span><br />
He's also the photographer behind the book <a href="http://uncoveredbook.com/index.php">Uncovered</a>. I'll let you go see the concept but the book sits in my Amazon wish list now. I'm not typically attracted to things that are "too liberal" but that one I like! Here are some of my favorite Dancers Among Us images.<br />

I got a chance to play "behind the scenes assistant photog in training chick" the day my lovely bride-to-be friend / co-worker <a href="http://kbshirley.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(& blogger too)</span></a> KB had her bridal portraits taken. Another talented co-worker of ours did the real photography and didn't mind letting me lurk in the background. Plus I held the light a couple times too! Since there's like a 1 in a trillion chance someone important would see these pics here and spoil a surprise KB gave me the go ahead to post now!<br />
<br />
This was my first "shoot" experience with a DSLR. And my first time to edit raw images. I have a lot to learn! One day I hope to be pretty good at all this junk :) Until then, I'll take what I can get! There are little things about all these shots that I would change but for the most part I was pretty pumped about how they turned out. And since this is a <i>very</i> amateur forecast of what the real deal will look like ... you can only imagine! Thanks for letting me play KB!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Then we moved to a studio downtown with this fabulous brick wall. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a sucker for studio shots so I got most of my pics here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MAlMRR8IB5c/TTEUCoym1sI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/832sG-3BUA8/s1600/1248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MAlMRR8IB5c/TTEUCoym1sI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/832sG-3BUA8/s640/1248.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />

The magazine is one of the constants in my life that I know will always spur some type of idea. In Julys' issue, inspiration bits came in the form of lists. Unbeknownst to big wig editors, I happen to <span style="color: #cc0000;">love</span> lists & I recently started blogging to document all my findings sooooo it fit just right. Don't you love when things work out that way! <br />
<br />
<br />
<u>List #1 : a play<i>list</i></u><br />
<br />
Have you heard of <a href="http://songvote.com/">SongVote.com</a>. I had not. Free to sign up. The objective is, you enter a playlist w/ a category (i.e. dinner party) and allow others to vote on their favorite songs from your list. Most votes = Best songs. Or, like me, you could just use it as a place to research possible missing gems for your own ipod. Here is a sneak peek at two of the playlist I viewed.<br />
<i> </i><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Road Trip: </div><div style="text-align: left;"> Free Fallin' - Tom Petty </div><div style="text-align: left;">Up On Cripple Creek - The Band </div><div style="text-align: left;">Proud Mary - Ike & Tina Turner </div><div style="text-align: left;">Driving Song - Widespread Panic </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pool Party: </div><div style="text-align: left;">Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow</div><div style="text-align: left;">One Love - Bob Marley </div><div style="text-align: left;">Return Of The Mack - Mark Morrison</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Boys Of The Summer - Don Henley </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Any missing gems for you??? </div><br />
<br />
<u>List #2 : a happy <i>list</i></u><br />
<u> </u><br />
Author (and psychologist) Paul Bloom appears in Julys' issue with his article "10 Ways To Find More Pleasure." While this list may not be <i>new</i> inspiration, it's the kind you can use over and over and over...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MAlMRR8IB5c/TB1qf9Y7WAI/AAAAAAAAAE0/x95TTyx5rdM/s1600/Happy+List.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MAlMRR8IB5c/TB1qf9Y7WAI/AAAAAAAAAE0/x95TTyx5rdM/s640/Happy+List.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br />
I've combined #5 & #10 for some time now, unaware they were 'list contenders', and I can vouch for both that it works! Maybe I'll draft my own list of 'happys' and see if they pop up later in life somewhere else! <br />
