Photoblogiversary, Year One
Look who's all growed up!
My silly little photoblog turned 1 year old over the weekend. To celebrate I got drunk, took photos of Minneapolis, and then turned the camera around on myself before passing out with my Nikon D70 around my neck, my Speedlight flash in one hand, and the camera remote in the other.
No I didn't, but the getting drunk and passing out part is kinda mostly true.
The funniest part about the photoblog is that I started it, mostly, on a whim. I mean, I wanted to become a *better* photographer but better in my mind meant taking photographs while sober, in the daylight, and not just when out for a night on the town with a bunch of crazies (I seriously have more photographs of my friends molesting the bronzed Mary Tyler Moore statue downtown than any one person should have in her collection). So other than wanting to become a quote "better" photographer my only goal was to keep the site up for 365 days. Now that those days have passed I can't imagine life without my pretty little Sopheava de Lumiere. Besides, my bank account might have something to say about shutting it down after all the god d#$*&!ed money spent on camera stuff the past year.
No seriously, I did *NOT* see that one coming.
I'm happy to report the photoblog isn't going anywhere, at least for a little while. And just so everyone knows I'm always in the need for new photographs. So in case there's someone reading this who wants to spring for a trip to... oh I don't know, someplace like, say, Paris... then I'm happy to accomodate. I just want to please my readers is all!
Happy first birthday Sopheava de Lumiere!

Happy Birthday Sopheava de Lumiere!
I think this celebration requires some cake.
I'd like to see you try taking pictures of your photoblog's first birthday with cake on it's face.
It'd probably be like trying to photograph it drunk... not very lady-like is all I'm sayin'.
But if there's free cake involved.... *schlp*!
What happened to the cookies we were supposed to get? I think mine must have gotten lost in the mail...
and puppies. We were promised puppies.
Oh my god with the puppies and cookies.
Tell ya what. Next time I'm out downtown each of you can claim your cookie, or puppy, right after buying me a drink.
That sounds totally fair in my book.
If we buy you multiple drinks, will you buy us a pony? We need a pony.
Happy Birthday.
Would a candle stuck in a twinkie do?
Do they still make Twinkies?
Ah well, if you can't find one a candle stuck in a Cinnamon Dolce latte will do equally well :).
