U2 Wifey

u2wifey.jpg
The wife got a new book this weekend. She’s likes U2 and we needed some more coffee table material. The best part about this photo is that it wasn’t staged. Bethany was seriously reading this book, but I just thought it was hilarious how big it is. Normally you would see some relaxing on the couch with a small book, but not my wife, nope.. she’s got a gynormous book and she’s lovin’ it…. classic.

Anyways, it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. Let me explain. I actually got a job. What you may not have known is that for most of the summer I have been jobless. I have basically been doing freelance graphic design and just trying to pursue some more work. But about 3 weeks ago I got a phone call from Amp’d Mobile and they wanted to hire me was a web designer. Needless to say I took the job and it’s been a great experience. The only bummer is that I have to commute to the Santa Monica area every day, but the pay is good and the job is good, so I continue to fight the traffic. If you want to check them out just go to http://ampd.com. Right now I’ve just been adjusting to my new schedule and trying to learn and hopefully be an asset to the design team there. They are all great designers and I am privileged to be apart of that team (and I also want you to know it took me about 3 minutes just now to figure out how to spell “privileged”, but nevermind that now).

Someone wanted me to post some of my designs from work, so here you go.. this one’s for the kids.. thanks for reading.

Of course you need to click to enlarge it. I did the big advertisement with all the money. It was my first big project, way fun though.. ok.. see yah!

Through The Lens



The Wedding Shoes, originally uploaded by shaycam.

I helped photograph a wedding today. This was my third time and probably one of my better weddings. It’s not really easy to shoot a wedding, so thankfully I’m not the main photographer. I’m not cool enough to do that anyway. And since we’re on the subject, I think being a guy and shooting weddings is a really amazing thing (this is, of course, if you’re the main photographer). You have to know a lot of girl stuff that you wouldn’t normally have to know. Like reminding the couple over and over to kiss and hug and do “cute” things so you can take pictures of it. or.. maybe I’m just not in tune with my feminine side enough to understand these kinds of things… nevermind.

Alright.. enjoy the pic. [see more here]

My Best Score Yet



My Best Score Yet, originally uploaded by shaycam.

This is the original Tetris for Gameboy. 135 lines may not seem like a ton to you, but for a guy who plays this game everyday, that’s a ton. Best part was I watched an episode of “Gilmore Girls” with my wife while doing it. I guess guys can multi-task after all.

“Beautiful Sunset, Better See” – Johnny 5

My wife called me on the phone tonight as she was leaving our apartment building and told me to go look at the sun. Whenever someone tells you to look at the sun you should probably reconsider. But in this case she wasn’t asking me to go blind, but to actually see the awesome colors of the sky. Apparently there is a fire to the north of us and the wind has carried the smoke over our city. It created these amazing colors which I think this picture doesn’t even capture. It always cool to see the sun. I mean, to be able to stare at it without fear of blindness. Enjoy.
