XM & Sirius Merge

November 12, 2008 – 9:02 am

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

ISPWP Competition

November 10, 2008 – 7:33 pm

Hey folks,

I didn’t even know I placed in this competition until the other day. Over on ispwp.com there’s a quarterly photo competition for those who are members. I did pretty well considering the competition over there; some of the best photojournalists in the world are competing. Here are mine:

This one is categorized under emotional impact and placed 11th.

This image was categorized under “Kids will be Kids” and placed 4th.

…and this portrait was categorized under “Bride & Groom Portrait” and placed 4th.

I’m pretty happy about this. I can’t wait to enter again. I don’t enter many contests, but I’ll probably keep this one up and keep pushing myself to do better.

Pumpkin Patch

October 18, 2008 – 8:05 pm

Today and yesterday, we went to visit the local pumpkin patch. I decided to do a slightly different take on it this year. I don’t have time at the moment to show all the images, but here’s one I wanted to leave you with. There will be more to come later.

New Orleans, Louisiana

October 10, 2008 – 1:14 pm

Headed out to one of my favorite cities in the world, New Orleans. There was a photo workshop there called Image X. I attended the workshop to find some inspiration and hang out in my fav city. Man, did I come back refreshed and revived. I got a whole lot of inspiration that I know I’ll take forward with me. I want to share some images, but also want to warn you that they’re a little off. One reason that they are a little that way is due to Julia Bailey. You can check out her work here: http://www.juliabailey.com The thing that was cool about Julia’s class is you can’t help but step outside of your world, and enter hers. The other thing about Julia’s class, that was great for me, is it followed an inspiring workshop from Joe Photo. You can see his work here: http://www.joephoto.com What Joe offered was an inspiring and interpersonal experience that I will never forget. We spent a good portion of the day just sitting on the floor and talking about things. He is a man full of wisdom and truly a gifted artist. So, after being with Joe all day, and then with Julia the next, I was really tuned in to what was happening. A few of the following images are from our trip through New Orleans. They are not meant to be offensive, just expressive. I may be attempting similar projects on my own in the near future.

This is just a shot I love of Preservation Hall.

Also, a special thanks to Max and Susan for modeling for us.

I apologize for the spooky and dark images. But, I kind of like them.

Wordle

August 14, 2008 – 4:49 am

I found this little application over on my my friend Britney’s blog called Wordle. Here’s what came out when I typed in my blog address. I thought it was kind of fun. Try it with your own website.
