January

January was a great month for me.

I'd finally saved up enough money to buy my BABY!
The Canon Digital Rebel XT.......that was a very happy day for me.

Not so much for my honey, family & friends, let me assure you.
I've been hiding around corners ever since, trying to get a good candid shots or just photographing their every move.

Thank god, I have JulieCButler
as one of my bestfriends, and a fellow
photography enthusiast.

So now that Julie and I both had a Canon Rebel, we had to get together as soon as possible and take pictures. We schedule a photo shoot for that Sat. the 7th Jan 2006. The only problem was we didn't have any models, so we took pictures of each other.

Here are some of my pictures from that day....

more of Julie

I'd like to give you a little, of Julie and I's history

We met in 1996 at the golf course we both worked at. I driving the beer cart, she worked in the snack bar. It was a great summer of work and partying. We were both single and 21yrs old, need I say more.
That fall I got a job as a receptionist at a Travel Agency. Julie had her travel agent training but wasn't working in that field at that time. But it didn't take long for Julie to decided to put her travel agent training to use. She came to work at the same agency as me.

The following spring I left that agency, to take the travel agent course. In the mean time Julie switched agencies. While I was still in school I was offered a job at the new agency Julie was at but I turned it down to work for a major airline.

THAT WAS SHORT LIVED.......

By 2000 Julie and I where working together again and we haven't been apart since. Julie & I, not only work together, we love to travel together.

We took our first trip together in the fall of 2002

to

China

we've also been to Australia, San Diego, Las Vegas, Italy and we're planning a trip to

AFRICA fall 2008
The photography bug started from traveling, it's just grown and grown ever since.
