Another whole month has passed since I have posted a single comment or update. Can it really be that hard... log in, type a password, start typing. It is the kind of thing my 5 year old could be doing. Truth be known, I have never been accused of being as smart or gifted as most 5 year olds seem to be.
Congratulations to our Blog Contest Winner - Jenna. She is the really cute girl with white dress in the attached photo, along with her supporting cast of characters from the recently released short film called "101 Things To Not Do In Your Wedding Dress".
She opted to go with a local portrait session instead of running off to Europe like we had hoped. Jenna got married June 28th of last year and still follows our blog.... I think that is very cool. I honestly thought that I just typed this blog as a means of self motivation and decompression. I had never really considered the reality that folks might be out there reading it. I thought we would have to come up with some imaginary bride to win the contest because I just didn't think anyone would go out of the way to read a photography blog site. (Don't you think someone should have come up with a better name than blog anyway... seriously.. it is just not the most attractive thing to say. It sounds like something that belongs in the garage... "hey son, run out to the garage and grab the blog for me, it's hanging on the wall between the handsaw and the weedeater". I am sure there is some truly meaningful reason behind it but I can probably live without knowing it. Maybe I should just punch it into Wikipedia and find out, but then I will spend the rest of the day searching the internet for more worthless trivia that I will never have any use for. I mean, really.. how often does it come up in conversation... "I wonder where the word BLOG came from?" It would be kinda cool to be able to throw out the answer.... Oh hell, here I go... if I do not get back to this before next month, my apologies.) I am off to research...
That wasn't so bad... OK, check this out....
A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

Back to reason that I brought you all here today. Congratulations Jenna. Jenna called the day after the last post was entered, mentioned the contest and WON!! With her permission I will post a picture or two from the portrait session once it is completed. Speaking of posting....
I have some other great ideas for contests that I totally plan on putting together in the future, so please check back in like... oh.. say 2012. At my current pace I should be running another contest by then.
Class Dismissed.
