Halloween 2007

My friends Becky, Vern, George and I went out dressed up for Hallween last night. If you can't already tell, we went as Blue Man Group. We won second place in the costume contest at Church Street Bar in Amherst! We had lots of fun! And whenever going out dressed up like this, I highly recommend stopping at gas stations, restaurants, and miscellaneous places. That was more fun than the costume contest.

The Speedway Gas Station on Broad Street in Elyria, rocks! Those workers were awesome!

Have a happy Halloween!

Update!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately! I had a bit of a computer meltdown at the studio a week ago Friday, so I have just been trying to keep my head above water reloading all the information my computer decided to wipe out on it's own! I have also very recently invested in a really good backup system! Better late than never! It's been some serious twelve hour days, so blogging has been a little low on my list of priorities! There are several new posts to follow. That should keep me good for a few days! Hope you enjoy, and I'll get more on here soon!

New Banners!

I just put three new banners up in the front window. They look so good! I just put them up on Thursday. Just in time for the Harvest Festival that was held in downtown Grafton on Saturday. The turnout seemed to pretty good. There were constant groups of people standing at the front window admiring all the photographs. Needless to say, my front windows are a mess today from all the sticky fingers touching and pointing. I'll get to cleaning them!

So, if you have a spare moment, be sure to stop by the studio and check them out. Lots of new faces in the window. One of them might be you!

Well, we made it through the weekend. It was Midview's homecoming weekend which involves photographing the game and the dance. The game was nice. Beautiful weather for football! The dance was good. Seemed to be a decent turnout, but it was stinkin' hot in that school! It's not normally 85 degrees outside at homecoming time, which made the indoors even worse. The gym was steaming. Everyone was dripping with sweat. I kinda felt bad for the students, but most didn't seem to mind. Homecoming candids will be posted online hopefully today, but definetly by tomorrow. Be sure to check them out! Later!

Oh, my gosh!!! Walter and I just got back this evening from Kansas City, Missouri. We went by special invitation to an amazing senior portrait studio there. The people that own the studio have an organization called SPA (senior portrait artists) that we belong to. They invited 25 members from all across the country to come and tour their studio, hang out and ask lots of questions. My head is spinning from all that I saw and learned!

Walter and I are going to have to sit down really soon, because there are changes we want to implement. It might not happen right away, because we are going to be so busy for the next few weeks with senior portrait sessions.

It's great to get away, see someone else's studio and their work and recharge your batteries. I'm sure it will be a boost to Walter's creativity in the next few weeks (Not that he is creative all the time anyway). Watch out, everyone! I'll keep you posted!
