MOO...The Cat's Meow!

A couple of weeks ago the I Heart Faces theme was Pets. I entered, and was so surprised...my shot of Pepper the Cat was featured in their mosaic. She's the one trying to sleep in the bottom left-hand corner. Out of 211 entries, they chose to feature me. And 31 other fabulous photogs, too (they featured two mosaics). Thanks, Angie and Amy!

What a Beachy Day

My training trip this past winter for my swim team was to none other than Cali! Peter, along with two other boys, decided to dig a hole on the beach with their kickboards. We ended up going to the beach twice so they had lots of time to expand their masterpiece. Enjoy his proud face for I ♥ Faces!

Flying Through the Air- Odd Shots Monday

I live at the pool in the summer. I have been a long-time lifeguard and recently began coaching. During the hourly break, my fellow lifeguards and I usually swim in the pool and go off the boards. This is Daniel. He was attempting to do a gainer, which consists of the diver jumping straight off the board and flipping backwards. I got this shot mid-flip, well sorta. Enjoy your Odd Shots Monday!

PhotoHunter-Radiant Ruins Needs Your Vote...Please?

I received GREAT news yesterday! A digital photo book that I just finished was nominated for a People's Choice Award in the Photography Book Category. My book is called Radiant Ruins.

Voting for the People's Choice Awards is open through August 20. To vote for ME, please click here. You have to register, but don't have to buy anything.

Most of you know that I'm just a college kid, and that I started MOO at the end of June. I've been trying to juggle this new project with my job (summer swim coach...it's intense!), so I haven't been posting or commenting regularly. Swim season is over next week, though, so I promise to get back into this ASAP!

Anyway, this is a stretch, but the snap above...Entitled "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," and also part of my photo book... is a UTENSIL, of sorts. And that's the theme for PhotoHunters this week.

Don't forget. Please vote for me...it's free!

Rockin' the Ruins

A couple years back the fam and I spent our winter break in Cozumel, Mexico. Took a day trip to see some Mayan ruins. Pretty neat stuff. Go to today's PhotoHunter to Rock Out some more...

Something New

I'm trying something new today. The I ♥ Faces contest. I'm entering both a "pets" shot and a "sports action" shot. The cat, she's Pepper. Always lounging around the house when she's not being a disturbance. The guy swimming is Matt. I took about 200 photos at our conference swim meet in February of him and the other 25 swimmers.
