My Self-Portrait

Happy Easter!

My wife and kids are away right now visiting my brother-in-law in Autstralia. When ever I have time on my hands, I attempt a self-portrait. It’s fun because I can do what ever I want and slip out of the norm and try to do something unique.

Here is my attempt today. Warning: This might scare your children (LOL).

Dirtbags 9, Trojans 6 at Blair Field

If you are a baseball fan, and you haven’t done it yet, I highly urge you to take a day and go watch some baseball at Blair Field. I took Andrew on Sunday, and we had a blast. We will defintely be doing this more often. And, what’s even better is the Dirtbags are a really good team. It was fun to watch them slaughter USC (well maybe not slaughter, but they did win). We had a great day, and it is cheap too, and very local; I enjoyed much better than driving to LA or OC to watch a game.

Retail Therapy Works!

Hi Folks,

I can’t believe it, but in the last week, I’ve gone a little crazy.

First, I bought myself one of these:

That’s right; a 2008, 4×4, V6, XM Radio havin’ FJ Cruiser. I’m so stoked.

Then, Joy lost her phone, so off we went to the cell phone store and bought her a BlackBerry. She’s pretty happy with it so far. While I was wandering around in the store, I started thinking about getting myself a little something.

So…

I don’t know what’s come over me, but I like it.

Tomorrow’s the superbowl. Being that I don’t have a stake in the game, it will be nice just to sit and watch and enjoy the festivities. We’re heading to our friends house who is having a huge blow-out. I’m thinking Patriots will take it.

Cheers,

Jerry

I was having a little PhotoShop fun today…

I was thinking about how I could incorporate some of my new funky-artsy look into my everyday work. So, I pulled up a few images from 2007 and started playing with them. Just for kicks, here are a few before and after samples:

After: This one is more subtle, but still better, I think.

Before: Nice.

After: I like the mood and tone of this after-image.

Let me know what you think about these before and after images.

Enjoy your day! :)

Merry Christmas!

I think I sent a card to everyone I could think of. But, in case I missed you for some reason, here was our card for this year. It’s a photo of our kids in Australia in Spring 2007. Don’t ask me the exact location, I don’t remember. I think it was somwhere around Iluka, NSW.

 

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Some Random P&S Photos

It’s been a little while since I’ve looked at all the images on my P&S camera. But, I use it all the time. I just downloaded all the images from it. I use the Fuji f30, in case you’re wondering. I like this camera because it has some manual features I can use, if I want to. Here are a few random favorites from the many images on the camera. Note: Most of the images on the camera are snap shots of my kids and such, but every once in a while I take a random shot of nothing. I hope you enjoy these. (Note the wedding influence in the first one :) ).

Random Thoughts on Thanksgiving!

There is lots going on at Frazier Photography central! Unfortunately I’ve been a bad blogger because it’s been so crazy. But, today I’m not doing any work, except for this one little blog.

What am I thankful for today?

I started out saying that there is lots going on…I am thankful for that, for sure. I am thankful for all my clients who love my work.

I am thankful for my family and that we are happy and healthy!

The rest of everything else all eminates from those things.

If you have nothing else, as long as you have love, you have it all!

Have an awesome Thanksgiving!

Cheers,
Jerry

Joe Torre is now a Dodger!

I never in my life thought I would see this day:

WOW!

Go Dodgers!

I Support the Writer’s Strike…

Here’s the news coverage of it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21570821/

In short, this is going to affect us all who enjoy a little TV time. The first casualties will be the late night shows such as Jay Leno and David Letterman. After that, reality TV, and reruns will be shown more. After that, you’ll see less movies next summer. The last strike lasted 22 weeks. That’s a long time.

The issue is that the writers feel they need to be compensated for DVD sales, as well as other media such as podcasts and things of that nature. They deserve every penny. The writers work hard to create value for the studios and the studios need to recognize this.

Cheers,

Jerry

Halloween Fun!
