Finding a Better Way to Pick

07 January 2010

I have been practicing the guitar for many years now. I would like to get a little better, but I know that it is going to be hard unless I know what I need to do, then I practice even more. I just found some alternate picking lessons, and I want to try that. I would love to be one of those people that you can listen to for hours because my playing and skills are just so smooth. I know I can learn to do it. I am just going to have to practice all the time and get better. 

love story

06 January 2010

The love story I happened upon today truly struck both my lens *and* my imagination. As I shot, lens and camera firmly planted in my hands, I found myself wondering  what is the difference between being in love and being in love and married? Is it the same difference between a turtle and a tortoise? Or a zucchini and a cucumber?  To imagine such a difference we much first acknowledge that one’s imagination is more important than knowledge.  Working with Sam and Malcolm helped me to gain a deeper appreciation of  new york wedding photography –in that, it helped impart in me a  certain appreciation for the subtlety in love.  Their love is bulletproof and permanent, just like their pictures now are.

A Great Online Deal

26 December 2009

My Pastor was telling our youth group about a website that he found that offered worship guitar lessons online.  A lot of the children were very interested in this and really think that their parents will let them because it is all done online from home.  This will help many more children to become involved in music and their church.  This will be a good thing for everyone.  Children need a way to express themselves and music is a great outlet for creativity.  This will be a great way for the kids to learn something new that will also help them in the future.

Male or female wedding photographer?

23 December 2009

My friend raised an interesting question the other day when I told her I was shopping around for a wedding photographer.  She wanted to know if I would prefer to have a male or female photograph the wedding.  Since the thought never crossed my mind, I started to look at photographers portfolios with a male/female perspective in mind.  I definitely noticed a difference in the image choices they used to show their clients.  I found however, that as long as the photographer was talented and creative, the male/female perspective wouldn’t play too much into my final decision.

Good Children Books Can Make a Difference

10 December 2009

I successfully raised two wonderful children on my own.  Their father and I divorced when they were very young, but I devoted myself to helping them grow into responsible adults.  One thing that I think made a big difference in their academic success was their love of reading.  I kept a lot of good children books in the house and read to them often.  I started reading to them before they were old enough to sit up by themselves so they have always been exposed to books.  I think they can make a huge difference in a child.  If you can read well, the sky’s the limit.

07 December 2009

It seems to be a common problem to know how to sing high notes without strain.  It’s something that has plagued singers for ages.  They can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of the sore throat when they sing.  Everything is tight when they sing in fron to crowds and it gets harder to sing those high notes.  Eventually, they get a good singing coach or someone teaches them some tips they can follow.  Mainly you have to use your larynx properly and raise your soft palate.  This will allow more air to pass during an exhale and it will produce a different sound.
