or what is holding me back from writing down the words in my head. Pride? I want to produce something full of wit and epic in it’s own right.
Fail.

I tease Wonderwife about her bag obsessions which has blossomed even more since we carry a diaper bag around as well now. I really should be careful after I realized that I too carry a purse. So what kind of baggage does the Mojo carry?

What another busy, fun, productive weekend! I hope yours was equally fun. My mother & her husband went to the Oklahoma panhandle to shoot at prairie dogs and jackrabbits. The cattle farmers appreciate this because the critters burrow holes that the cow’s hooves fall into. I’d share photos of some of the kill but that’d be gross.
Just found out my father is on vacation this week to the Colorado Rockies. I’m jealous.
OK, back to me. I got to shoot the beautiful people attending Art on the Rocks vent at the Birmingham Museum of Art on Friday. Good times, music, drinks and culture. Happy times.
The girls and I did a photo shoot with Daphne on Saturday and then raced downtown for the annual Do Dah Day parade with dogs dressed in costume.
Sunday was another portrait session with a fun family. They have a gorgeous 17 y/o and two 9 y/o twins that were rambunctious.
My girls and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday after the shoot and then gorged ourselves on margaritas & fajitas. We’re detoxing this week, I promise. I’m going to roll into work an exhausted, bloated but content guy.
What’d you do?
Again, I am so overwhelmed at the many things I come across on my daily journeys on the interwebs. I am a digital nomad. I am a busy guy. So my blogging suffers and you are denied my wit. my sincerity, and me.
I’ve been relying on micro-blogging and photos to get by, to have something, ANYTHING posted for that day. Its frustrating & embarrassing.
Are you using Twitter or Pownce or Jaiku? Befriend me and lets turn my monologue into a dialog together.
Anniversary Brunch from Video Mojo on Vimeo.
Today, Jenny and I enjoyed our twelfth anniversary by enjoying a cajun brunch and live jazz. I kept it simple with a ham/cheese omelette and she had the shrimp & grits. Afterwards found us on a stroll through the park and to watch Daphne swing and slide.
Jen,
You are all I’ve ever dreamed of as a wife and all I ever needed as a friend. With love & pride,
Chris
There is so much I want/need to share that it is overwelming. Although, after shooting a local art festival for 3 days, and about 6GB worth, I am spent. I’m preparing to go back to the day job today and I am beat. I’m working on a new project for the next month and a new one after that and I can only hope I’ll be ready! Tonight will be low key as I spend quality time with my girls and work on processing the aforementioned photos.
Dance performance at the Magic City Art Connection in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. More photos on Photo Mojo when time allows. This festival is kicking my butt!
Good! I just upgraded from the ATT/HTC 8525 to the ATT/HTC 8925 or the Tilt. Why do you ask? Simple. As much as I loved the 8525, every time I sent a multimedia message (frequently), it accessed the data network to send and then stay connected. I don’t want to spend $39.99 a month for a data plan when there is free wifi everywhere in town. ATT kept charging me and I would call/complain and the charges credited back to me and dropped. Good. They also sent a replacement 8525 to fix the issue except…
The replacement failed the same way and we were back to square one. After two phone calls totaling 3 hrs (not a joke) and 2 weeks, I have a phone upgrade and it is a few steps up from the very nice 8525.

Once again it is time to head to downtown Birmingham to enjoy fine art, let the kids romp/explore, enjoy delectable food/wine and enjoy musical acts from almost every genre at the Art Connection.
Once again, I am shooting the event and will be there Friday afternoon, and most of Saturday/Sunday.
