Random Thought...

I've noticed that more often than not when a man impersonates a woman's voice he will add a lisp...

What I'm Watching...

I love the Amazing Race! To me this show never gets old! And every new season always sparks the question, who would I want to compete with?

Mom: I would totally do this race with my mom, the downside is we are so much alike we get snippy at one another. She is also afraid of heights, so hey Mom, if I get all the physical challenges you got all the food ones ok?! Deal!

Brother: No, he's dumb and I would kill him on national television and get arrested...

Significant Other: Ummm.... I think we could do it but he would drive me CRAZY in the process, he thinks I'm cute when I'm mad.

Best Friend: Love her, would kill her! But she's not dumb like my brother so that's a plus!

Radio Partner: I think we would have way too much fun and seemingly get nowhere with the challenges but would totally end up winning!

Who would you do the Amazing Race with?

American Bandit

I found this entertaining, while my mom was here visiting me... we went to Seoul Zoo and it was really fun had several great exhibits and active animals. One of which is something you don't really see in American zoos!

The North American Raccoon!

He was so cute! Came up to the bars as if to say "You speak English! Take me home with you!"

Paintball

Action and sports photography is a lot of fun and challenging. Having a quick "trigger finger" is always a good thing.

Just like being on the paintball field, quick to draw quick to shoot.

This was during practice for a team in South Korea.

Tulips

I LOVE taking photos of flowers... These tulips were taken in South Korea at an amusement park called Everland.

Everland has these huge beautiful botanical gardens! Undortunatley not much was in bloom when we went... just an abundance of tulips. Which was fine with me :)

Its fun doing what I have to to get the shot I want but if you are really into what you are shooting and stop and look around you you'll notice people looking at you very stragnely as you contort your body around this little flower trying to capture different angles.

In order to get the one colored tulip I copied the image, turned it black and white and layed the gray image over the colored one. Then took the eraser tool and erased the section I wanted letting the color come through and feature one special flower!

This is one of my favorite kind of photos, I enjoy a playful splash of color.
