For Me, Wedding Season Just Started

I’m trying to crunch through all the weddings I’ve been shooting of late and I’m honestly a little behind. But as I was making an initial glance at the most recent wedding I shot,  these two images just kind of popped out at me. For the photos nerds, these are basically straight out of camera (and for the non-photo nerd, that just means I did something right).

The End of Summer [A Poem]

Boy Scouts - Gettysburg

The end of summer you’ve come so fast
You’re just never long enough; you just never last

Tomorrow will bring a new season to us
And some will be happy and some will fuss

But I’m a believer that change is for the best
That we need the fall, and we need some rest

From the heat of your sun, and the shade we have sought
For a new set of troubles, in the rain you have fought

We’ll see God’s creation as it changes and goes
From the green of the summer, to the fall color shows

With it’s new cloudy days and the cool in the air
We’ll forget you summer, without even a care

And when we think that we’re happy you’re gone
Please return quickly, so we can play on the lawn

- “The End of Summer” by Shay Thomason

Hear, See, and Do – #10

We’re in the double digits for “Hear, See, and Do” and I’ve got a couple winners for you this time around.

HEAR: Needtobreathe - The Outsiders
Needtobreathe - The Outsiders Don’t let this band’s album artwork freak you out — they’re not scary. My friend Kurt turned me on to this band last week and the only way I can describe them is if Counting Crows, Kings of Leon, Tom Petty, and Hanson all got married, this would be their child. That’s probably the most awkward way of describing a band, but nothing else was coming to mind so you’re just going to have to go with it. Needtobreathe has Godly lyrics, and a more poppy sound without being so radio friendly that I just can’t handle it. They’ve got a Southern soul that makes me want to sit on the front porch a sip lemonade, and they have a hint of the newer Hanson sound that I dig — speaking of Hanson, did you know they’re going on tour with hellogoodbye this fall…awesome. Seriously, this band has impressed me. I can’t speak for their earlier albums, but their latest titled The Outsiders is good and I recommend you take a listen. Click here to buy the album from Amazon.com or just click the “Preview All” button to get a taste!

DO: Visit CheeseandBurger.com — It Will Change Your Life

The Cheese and Burger SocietyYou definitely do NOT want to visit this site if you answer yes to any of the following states:

I am currently hungry
I am pregnant
I hate cheeseburgers
I am a vegan or vegetarian
I hate amazing things
I never saw the movie The Emperor’s New Groove

Cheeseandburger.com is not for the faint of heart or for those not wanting to immediately run out the door and find the most incredible cheeseburger you have ever had. I think this website may have changed the way I look at the cheeseburger….mmmmm… cheeseburger…. My favorites are: 6, 7, 10, 17, 21, and 25 — is it lunch time yet?
