pretending to be professional

So this weekend I pretended to be a professional photographer and stuck the beautiful Kris and Will in front of my lens and traipsed around Cherokee park.  A wonderful 4 hours if you ask me!  While I'm editing I couldn't help but give a sneak peak of some of the funnier moments! 

Classic High School, taking pictures of each other taking pictures :)

We found some adorable puppies!

And just to get you excited, a pretty one...

Thanks Kris for thinking of me and letting me get my photo on!

YUMmy Arena

Here in Louisville we just opened up a brand new arena for our college basketball team. Succinctly, it's pretty sweet. I scored some tickets to tour the space and we had a ton of fun checking out every possible seat in the house, literally. We tested out the floor seats to the highest seat in the house, and everything in between.

Checking out my company's seats.

The scoreboard has an awesome "hat," the skyline!

The view from the first level.

The premium boxes.

View from the top, literally.

 Trying to figure out if those are people or ants.

Welcoming us onto the floor.  

You could take two steps onto the floor before the guards would come after you.  Huz got chased off twice!

Mom walking the red carpet.

Mom and dad dubbed the fountain, "little Bellagio."

Overall it was really nice inside.  As all new things are.  Getting around will be the hardest part.  We had a interesting time trying to find our way to the different levels of the arena.  It's full of bars, donor lounges, restaurants, and other goodies tucked away everywhere.  But i definitely don't plan on buying a meal from the KFC for $11 when I can buy the same meal for $5 down the street.  Ah arena food, how rediculously overpriced you are!

fall project

so I am working on a large (in size) project this fall that includes lots of old photos. So after I had them selected it was super easy to throw them in a slide show, and it kinda makes me happy, so here.





i love picasa, it took me 30 seconds to throw this together, literally...

hunting season

so it's hunting season again, and the huz has that look in his eye.  bow season opened this past weekend, so he broke out the bow and arrows early in the week to get things back in shape.  unfortunately his string snapped (super scary) and he was left with a broken bow.  yeah he could have had it fixed, but it would have taken a while and he might not have his bow back in time for opening day!  i knew he had wanted a new bow for a while so I encouraged him to take the leap and buy away.  well we headed to the store straight after work and he bought one!  there were some pretty great moments with him in his suit, trying to pick one out...

 the arrow with measurements on it (to measure the length of your draw) had a sharp point on it, why?

 his bow is bigger than yours...

and here's the bow!  the guy trying to set it all up couldn't draw it back at the weight huz wanted, so he had to keep having danny draw between small changes.  it was humorous.

local tourists

the huz and I love walking around.  the fall provides us great late afternoons with beautiful sunsets.

 there is so much to see just within a couple blocks.  it's so exciting the huz has to jump with joy!

  and then when i guerilla attack him with the camera we both regret it....

I highly recommend a good fall walk, especially with a great friend (love) :) 

Net Surfers Tournament

Just got back from our first tournament with the '97 Netsurfers Girls and we had a blast and played great! 

whirlwind vacation

well we've been back for a few days now and it seems like I was never gone at all (well except for the faint tan lines).  Here's a little video from our vaca and a collage:

you can check out all of my photos here

food, yum

I've been taking lots of photos of food lately.  I discovered the food setting on my panasonic and i've loved the photos!  here are a few. 

the color isn't off, it's grey ice cream!  it was grape flavored apparently... e sure loved it!

we went and biked around the world festival here in lousiville.  we looked and smelled all the delicious food, and then the huz decided we should get hardees 6 dollar burgars instead...  so we did...

oh, and the night before, we had a bunz burger a friend mushrooms, delish!

finished off our burger and mushrooms with a delicious caramel frappucino, mmmm.

we finish our tour of my weekend eating habits with the lovely bakery, cake flour.  all natural and all good.  we had a chocolate ganache cupcake (to die for) and a blueberry scone (equally delicious and fresh from the oven!)

to showcase the wonderful cupcake again and show off my new camera, feast your eyes upon this.  oh yeah, my point and shoot rocks!

the after party

after antiquing we headed to our usual madison vineyards for a bottle and a picnic.  when we got there we were shocked to see a rather large crowd.  turns out they were throwing a party!  we had lunch in the shade of a giant umbrella enjoying their great wine, a live band, and some grape stomping.  it was a great surprise!

sunday adventure

huz and I live for sundays, when we get to go on adventures! this sunday we took off with the rents to the queen city antique show near cincinnati. we had a blast, and even tried fried twinkies (but i didn't get a photo!).

 hand painted globe, too cool!  i should have checked to see if it opened up...

 somehow I didn't come home with any of these beauty's, go me!  there was a wooden duck there for $200!  thse were only $25 and they looked better! 

 mom picked these up and told me i should buy them and try to plan my halloween costume around them.  ha.  then I tried them on and turned for the picture.  the bright sun combined with the crazy prescription in the lenses led to the unfortuante eyes in this photo... (they're not closed...)

 how fun would it be to have all thsee old cans and jars as a display somewhere.  all the color and age is great!

 definitely going to have a yellow table and chairs at some point in my life,  just decided.

 one lady had tables and tables of pins, they were gorgeous!

camera tricks

it's hard for me to remember to break out my camera after not having one for a while.  so i've made an effort to do so when we do things lately.  here are a few photos...

love!
