Who me? YES, I shoot events!!
Easy to forget sometimes that though I’m not the most people person (which is hilarious because even with my lightspeed thought patterns, I usually take EXTRA time in thinking of how to talk to people), I do LOVE to be in the mix of tons of people. It’s great. I can be alone with my camera even in a crowded room. Just me, my camera, and my victim.
That said, here are some preliminary shots from convention that I really like. xD
As always, ENJJJJJOOOOYYYYY!!!!!!!!

The real reason for convention
Youth, paint, games, and no one died!! :)
So last night, AJ preached about worship and what it really means and he had the kids paint how they worship the Lord…
But before the preaching…. there was a game of who can avoid using their hands to pick up a box with their teeth lol.




Here are some shots of the youth painting out their ways of worship!



And the final results:



I just realized that none of these pics really show a bunch of the kids together so here’s a shot of about half the kids that were there last night:

Almost forgot the completely random pic of panzer lol:


LiT Drama Team Drama (redundant? lol)
So here is a set of pictures that pretty much speak for themselves. The drama team for the youth group at church had a great performance this morning. I posted these pictures in color on my flickr but like them much more in black and white. Enjoy








If you didn’t get the pictures, just ask me about ‘em and it’s super easy to explain
Goodnight all xD
WordPress acting weird…
Okay, so the last few nights that I decided to post, I’ve been having issue with wordpress’ web-based interface. Until JUST NOW at this ungodly hour of the morning has it started to work like it did before. *sigh*. I hope this was a temporary issue. (Basically the add a picture window would load in the wordpress posting page instead of in miniature popup window. Creepy.)
Keeping in line my picture whoriffic tendancies, here are some pictures that I’ve taken at the Potomac Youth Convention held in Virginia. I’ve had the opportunity (thanks Tim Twigg!!!) to shoot this even a few times over the years and hone my “that’s all the available light?!” skills.
Enjoy these shots from convention 2010!! The theme was “motion”!!

The rest of that set can be viewed on a set in my Flickr account here.
Well I’m off to bed now and I’ll be off to florida tomorrow. Hopefully I get tons of pics down there. I’ll be back on sunday night with a full report and a camera full of interesting captures!! (Hopefully!! lol)
