Well, I guess I didn't stick to that New Years resolution too well of maintaining my blog better,shrug... Se La Vie. One thing I have been doing is portraits, which I love, it's my favorite thing to do as a photographer. I like the controlled environment and the methodicalness of it. I think my favorite portraits I have done recently were the bridal portraits for Brennan Worthington, her wedding is tomorrow at the Houstonian, it's going to be a long day of wedding photogaphy but it's going to be beautiful.

Lebanon has been in the news a lot lately, the country recently had thirteen of their ministers resign and from what i understand they have a new prime minister. I was in Lebanon for most of the month of January and I missed most of the controversy. It's an extraordinarily beautiful country, you have beautiful beaches, an hour down the road majestic snow capped mountains and the mountains are within a few hours of the glamorous international city of Beirut. The people of Lebanon are warm and in spite of all the troubles they maintain their humor. I hope my friends their are safe and I wish for the country to find peace. Thank you Lebanon, i have never seen such beauty.

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to be a second photographer for an Indian wedding. For any photographers that want to do Indian weddings I really recommend being a second photographer the first time. A lot happens, it's totally chaotic at certain points and it would be really overwhelming to be in charge of it having never done it before. Also there is no way I would do it alone, this is a two photographer job a least. Suffice it to say, it was awesome. I had a really great time, the people were super nice and I was able to just be a floater, a fly on the wall. Here are some of the photos from the day. :)

So I had my photoshoot at Hermann Park yesterday. It really is Houston's version of Central Park in New York, only newer and without musicians, musicians really need to get thier butts over to Hermann Park on the weekends, the place is packed with people and it could use a little more urban starving artists. Anyways, I wanted to share an image from the engagement portraits I did for Son and Bridget, it was a fun day.
