At last! The completion of the frshnk campus swept a lot of weight off our shoulders! Now we can get back to working with clients, designing, and making awkward hand gestures while on phone calls. As you can see, the new location houses co-working space for those who are tired of their wives, children and hypnotic-eyed chihuahua back at home. This is a productive escape. Then again, if your sole purpose it to rent a space next to Bryce, then that's being creepy. No creepsters, please. Each co-space is given a nice storage compartment and a mug filled with goodies. The fresh paint brings warm feelings and the strategically placed art gives a sense of meaning to one's life. Stop by frshnk sometime! It may be for business, but as soon as you step in, it's all pleasure. If by chance, you happen to be creepin' by and you have a spontaneous notion to get a picture of yourself and have it blown up to some ridiculous size to hang above your fireplace, right next to frshnk is our photography studio, injoy. Hence the word, "campus".

If you're looking to hang out with an interesting dude. Ford Seeuws is your man. He likes long walks on the beach, mud wrestling, karate and baking. He's a friend here at frshnk and a local surfer, musician and film maker. It was a Tuesday when Ford arrive at our studio for his scheduled shoot for his website. He brought a couple things that reflected his personality and interests. As you can see from the photo above, he has enough skills to attract any lady.

I received a phone call asking, "hey, are you here yet?" I felt a sudden pucker as I was supposed to shoot a ceremony but had not received a confirmation. Turns out, there was! Except it was confirmed 2 weeks prior to the event and somehow wasn't placed on the schedule! What the!? I got my things together, dove into my most hip outfit and booked it to the location. Fortunately, the location was about 4 minutes from my house. (I love living Downtown!) The elevator doors yawned open revealing a young, masculine, good looking half filipino photographer. My entry was gloriously unnoticed. Owell...

Dustin and I swung by Bay Medical to shoot their Christmas tree lighting event this year. We snapped on our 50mm lenses, light winter clothes and dove out of our vehicles ready to take some real good pictures. Real good. What we hadn't anticipated was, a: the weather and b: the Christmas tree was across the street and about 75-100ft above ground level on the top of the Bay Medical Patient Tower. 50mm prime lenses were way too short to capture the tree up close. Fortunately, we had higher megapixel cameras to allows us some heavy cropping. Unfortunately, our faces were numb from the frigid, tundra-like weather. Then again, I may have been the only one freezing as I weigh less than a 6th grade, clarinet playing middle school girl.

I had the chance of swinging by Vascular Associates' building to shoot their open house. I have seriously never seen so much cheese until now. Everywhere I went, there were tables of delicious cheese cubes. It was awesome. Every office was open for tour. Even their networking system was open for explanation by the tech guys. It was definitely a higher-end building. I also got t o check out the marine life window murals Chris designed for them. It was like a real life aquarium!

So I got the opportunity to crawl into ongoing construction, molten metal, sweaty man chested workers wielding 500lb hammers and dragons. Did I grab your attention yet? Alright. I'm stretching the story a wee bit, but I'm doing it for your own good. Gotta spark up that brain stimuli. You must be bored at work!

"Oh yea, I'm ready to party!" *Passes out into a sleep coma*  That's how I felt after I shot the Gala. Two photo ops were set up similar to a high school Prom, except one offered a picture with a Comedian. Pretty cool. Except in high school, everyone was a comedian. Not cool. After the photo op, I proceeded to shoot some candids of everyone sipping on their wine and talking about business. I could have sworn I saw a woman walk in with a completely transparent dress front wearing no bra. I know she likes to party.

This is my first blog post here at frshnk! I suppose the best way to start it off would be an introduction of myself!

I am a recovering alcoholic and an ex-gang member. I picked up photography as an escape from the harsh world around me. I thought if I could take pretty pictures, I could some how move on up from the ghetto fabulous streets of Callaway and avoid getting stuck in the hip every morning. Ok, I’m joking…It all started when I bought myself a graduation gift.
