So I'm in the process of getting ready for a wedding on November 11th with Chris and Lynn Jaksa in Spokane, Washington...

I just checked out the hotel where the reception will be an it is absolutely beautiful!!!

Note: I "DID NOT" take these photos.... They are taken from the Davenport Hotel Website... [www.thedavenporthotel.com]

Some of you may know that I am also a graphic designer as well as getting into photography. I have had my new logo mocked up as I said in my last post, but I am having trouble finding a typeface to go along with it...

For a closer look, here is my logo:



So if any of you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you...

So I know it has been awhile since I last posted, but I have had good reason... I've gotten my new logo for Blank Canvas Studios now designed in Adobe Illustrator thanks to my good friend Joel Messner at Jam Designs... If you need any design work done I highly reccommend this guy... He came to me at my time of need when my computer crashed and I no longer could find my copy of Illustrator. He's got skills... Check him out!

Well since my PC died a firey death (Yes... The hard drive actually caught on FIRE!!!) I had to get a new computer and I can now tell you that I am now the proud owner of a new Apple MacBook... I was going to wait and get the pro, but I needed one sooner than I could get that with all the other plans I have in the works... So I am having fun on my new Mac and getting ready for a great new wedding season next year... (I will tell you more about it as soon as plans are hash out)

Saturday, I had the pleasure of working with a local musician named Drew Strong who is working on his debut full length album.. He's put out an EP on his own and I see real promise in working with him... Here are a few photos from the shoot Saturday... (Oh and check out my new logo at the bottom of the photos!) I will most likely be working with him on design work also (hopefully including CD covers, and a website!) But for now, you can check out his myspace.

Last Wednesday I went down to Denver to see my friend DJ speak at the Denevr Pictage User Group which was a lot of fun... but the best part of the night had to be after when we went to dinner at Fox and the Hound with a bit of the group and I got to meet Wes, Daniel, Adam, Josh, and Bill (along with hanging with the ever cool Jesen Sutta). The cool thing was we got a lot of time to talk as a small group and I relly enjoyed it because I found out we we are Christians! Which was a godsend to me because I had been praying to find a group of local people to share struggles with, fellowship with, and just have good times together. I'm really looking forward to getting to know these guys!


Here's a photo that Katie took at the PUG Metting of the group.

A few weeks ago now I had the chance to hang out with some of my favorite photographers Garrett and Joy Nudd from Orlando, FL. Along with Matt and Jenna Walker and Mark Neuman we all went together to dinner at Pasquini's and had a great time chatting and talking shop... Here's a photo from that night.

Here's my friends Beth (The one with the red hair standing next to the bride) and Natalie (the bride).. This is pretty much the only picture I was able to get off because I was doing video, but it's a new photo all the same.
