Portland's Colorful Graffiti

















This place was so cool. As you can see in some of the photos, the graffiti on the walls was so colorful. Shannon really took us to an awesome place for the photo shoot. The lighting inside the buildings was just amazing. This has got to be one of the best places I have ever taken photos at. I wish we had something like this where I live.
Scroll down to see Julia and the adorable Miss E. Aren't they just the cutest! This photo shoot was so fun!

More photos from mentoring shoot






Just about all of the photos from the mentoring photo shoot were processed with Totally RAD actions. Are they cool are what! There's so many different looks you can get from the actions and I love that. Check out the Totally RAD website, link over to the right.

Photo mentoring shoot with Shannon Sewell

Michelle, Julia and I spent a day with Shannon Sewell http://www.shannonsewell.com/theblankpage/?p=762 for a photo mentoring shoot on Saturday. We asked for graffiti and Shannon chose the coolest place to have the shoot. Here's a few of my photos of Julia. I will have more to post of Julia and some of the cutest little girl, Miss E, she was just a doll. Thanks Shannon for a great day! We learned a lot.

We are home from Vegas!

I asked Jeff, Eric and Julia to all jump in front of the sign, but Eric
stood still and Jules jumped way high! Way to go Jules!
A closer view of the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.

Some of the cool letters in the Neon Boneyard.





This one's for you Michelle! I wish you could have been with us to have your photo taken in front of the "Sassy" sign! It describes you so well!



Love this!

The tour of the Neon Boneyard was really cool. There were two big lots packed full of old neon signs. It was a little rushed and I would have liked to of had a little more time to take better photographs, but these will have to do. Have tons more of photos to post when I get a little bit more time.

Off to Vegas!!!

Jules and I leave tomorrow for Las Vegas! It was the spur of the moment decision to go. We booked the tickets last Saturday. Julia hasn't seen her grandparents for quite a few years, so that will be nice.

While we're there we will be going on a tour of the Neon Boneyard. How cool is that! It's a 3 acre lot that has all the old neon signs that aren't used anymore. I'm hoping to get some stinkin' cool photos, and Michelle, if you're reading my blog, I won't forget to get photos of letters!!! And of course the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. The weather is supposed to be nice, so hopefully I'll get lots of shots.

Wish me luck getting out to Vegas by ourselves. We usually travel with Jeff and Eric, but this time they went out to Vegas early. I originally wasn't going to go, but then decided that it would be nice for Jules to go see her grandparents, and she already misses her dad and he only left yesterday!

I will post photos after I get back.
