…unintended emails…

…hi folks,

all my current clients probably got an email about booking my services. i am testing out some new studio management software, and i think it automatically sent out emails to everyone. you can disregard them completely.

in the future, you will be getting emails from the system, and please do not disregard those.

sorry for the trouble, and thanks :)

…hitched or ditched…

i’ve never watched this show before, but i had it on tonight. i thought it was funny. when it came time for the wedding, the guy marrying them was a guy i worked with last year.

hitched or ditched, weddingbee, the knot

…interesting factiods, but only to me, probably, about your potential future wedding date…

…fwiw, i thought this was a little entertaining. (yes, this is how wedding photographers entertain themselves :)

christmas was on my mind, since it just passed, and the thought of 20/20 came to mind, for whatever reason, which lead to 12/20, which lead to 12/20 2012. i thought, how cool. then my mind started racing through all the dates where that was possible. so, here they are, in case you were wondering…

9/20 2009 is a sunday. and i am currently available. YAY

9/9/09 is a wednesday. booooo!

10/20 2010 is a wednesday. boooo!

10/10/10 is a sunday. yay!

11/20 2011 is a sunday. yay!

11/11/11 is a friday. yay!

12/20 2012 is a thursday. i guess that’s a maybe. i get a thursday wedding once in a while.

12/12/12 wednesday. boooo!

so, that’s it in a nut shell. my mind is now completely spent and i need a nap.

i hope this was somewhat helpful for your future wedding planning.

cheers.

XM & Sirius Merge

In June, when I purchased my Toyota FJ Crusier, I was on the fence about getting satellite radio. I had a choice between XM and Sirius. I went with XM just because I felt they were bigger and might be around longer than Sirius. Today, I get into my car, and find that I have extra stations and different music channels, and Howard Stern! Cool. It seems that XM is now offering the best of Sirius, and Sirius is offering the best of XM. Can you tell I’m excited about this?

It is so nice to listen to the radio without having those distracting ads. Some of the stations have a little bit of DJ talk, but it’s very minimal, they don’t drone on and on. I was really on the fence about paying to have radio, but it’s very cheap, and it’s really awesome. Similar to cable TV, how many years ago people just thought there was no way anyone would pay for something that is already free (ha, ha!).

Anyway, big props to two huge media companies for getting together and making a cool product even better.

Cheers,

Jerry

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The month of October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To do my part, I am offering a free portrait session to any breast cancer survivor. The session can be anything we want it to be and we’ll work on something that works for both of us. Mainly, I want it to be strong and meaningful, and in some way, help to bring awareness to breast cancer.

If you are interested in doing this, or if you know anyone interested in doing this, please contact me by calling 562.930.9005 or email me at jerry@frazierphotography.com

Twitter…

Hi Tweet Peeps…in case you’re wondering what that means, check out Twitter.com. I’d love for you to add me as a new friend. I’ve been twittering for a little while and I just have fun with it. It’s a great way to keep up with people. I have my tweets go straight into my facebook status updates, so it makes it easy. My user name is jerry_frazier. It’s not real easy to find new people, you kind of have to know exactly the user name they use. So, now you have mine. So, add me :)  If your user name is something like “pretty pink kitty” or something, please send me an email or a note of some kind letting me know who you are, because I may not accept something like that (LOL), because, believe it or not, there is also spam on twitter; not a ton, but I do get some. But, I’d love to hear from you, and keep up with you.

Cheers,
Jerry
