Sacramento River, taken yesterday.
2008 is coming to a close very soon, and I thought I’d write a bit about the past year.
Obviously, the biggest thing that has been happening on this blog is the fact that I’ve been blogging an image every.single.day! It’s been a wild ride, and I will write more about it tomorrow, but I’m glad I did it. :)
I started the year with the new resolution, Martin & Chigusa’s wedding, a Salton Sea group trash the dress and headed to Dallas for a workshop. :) My first publishing in a book, being featured on trashthedress.com, as well as an article about Verlee’s trash the dress on Shutterfly. Polaroid made the announcement that they were shutting down film production this year, and my love for polaroids resurged. Had a photoexcursion with my friend Nikki, had another group trash the dress in Palm Springs, Kim & Remo’s wedding as well as Baldwin & Larissa’s wedding and attended WPPI. I was featured on the Knot Magazine’s best of 2008, photographed Janet & Glenn, Michelle & Bill and Debra & Dean’s weddings. Celebrated Zach’s birthday, Cathy & Jamie, Katrina & Todd, Meghan & Scott, and Larry & Cindy’s wedding. Began my boudoir sessions, Apryl & Tim’s wedding, went to Chicago for another workshop, Ellen & Ash as well as Sandy & Sean’s weddings. Visited the San Diego County Fair, Hazel & Kurtis’ wedding, Melanie & Brian’s wedding, Kelly & Steve’s wedding, Stephanie & Dennis’ wedding and Lorelle & Jason’s wedding. I was also in a wedding myself as the miad of honor :) I participated in a Polaroid art show held in LA, went to a Joshua Radin concert, celebrated 7 years with Zach, Charlene & Christian and Katie & Ian’s weddings. I was featured and interviewed in San Diego’s Exquisite Weddings magazine about trash the dress sessions. Lauren & Dan’s wedding, Emmeline & Jeremiah’s wedding, Amy & Ray’s wedding, Angela & Geoff’s wedding, Melissa & Bernie’s wedding. Kristy & Sinisha’s wedding, celebrated my birthday, went to the Bay Area and back home for Thanksgiving. Then headed back home for Christmas. And here I am. On the cusp of another year.
I’d link each and every thing I listed (and I didn’t even include others shoots I did outside of weddings!) but that would take suuuuch a long time, and I’m feeling lazy. :)
What’s in store for next year? We’ll wait and see, won’t we :)
What a brilliant idea, a post a day. I love it. You are an inspiration.
What a busy and successful year you have had!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I haven’t had any time to blog stalk (or blog much, at that) but I had to come see your space and congratulate you. Today, you’ve accomplished something huge. A photo a day was completely successful for you and that I’m stoked to have seen them all. Congratulations and have a blessed new year!
