Brass in Pocket

‘We R Who We R’
-Ke$ha

Every month since the new season of Fabulous Sin City Roller Girls started I have been their bout (once again a “bout” means game) official Tweeter.  So since September my fingers fly and my eyes flash across the track trying to capture all the news and spread it via the social network world.  It has been hard and fun.  However we all know that my true heart lies in photography with a side love for social media.  The contact I have in the team always tells me that same thing.  They know where I stand with the photo world and will let me do either.  SO grateful am I. :-)  
For the November bout I once again was the official tweeter, but on top of it I also did photography of the crowds and backstage happenings.  It’s not always a thing that most people want to capture.  They mainly focus on the track and the plays, I specialize in the crowds and volunteers.  Anyways to see those images you can go to my photography business site.  I would like to use this post to focus on one particular image from that night.  While I was about the crowds I caught a lady out of the corner of my eye.  Not in the dating way but style wise.  She was totally in her zone and styling.  My ultimate goal is fashion photography in the forms of shooting runway shows or magazine spreads.  There is something about those images that bring joy into the viewers eyes and dreams.  It totally takes them out of their current situation and into fantasy, I WANT IN.  Here is the lady I am speaking about. 



She looks like a modern day Chrissie Hynde.  Now here comes my request and dream.  I want to photograph her, as I am always wanting to update my portfolio.  If any of you readers know this women, I am suspecting she is from Vegas, please help me get into contact.  I will take you to dinner, and I hear the Cheesecake Factory is amazing so I’ll take you there.  (I’ve never been there.)

I Beat First and Ask Questions Later, Sometimes

Ok I am about to loose it.  I have a very important blog post to post here.  However Blogger keeps telling me that I can't post the photo I need to include in the post.  It says some mumbo jumbo about me needing "license rights."  Ok first off I own my own photo's that I take for my own business.  I have been reading the message boards but there are NO answers.  I am so frustrated that I am about to go Madea on this blogger and then switch over to Wordpress.

The post I need to post with attached photo is a huge thing and needs to be seen by y'all.  So if you know how to fix this problem let me know ASAP!!!

Generally Covers Suck

All you readers out there should know by now that Gaga holds a dear place in my creative mind. I'm not generally impressed by the remakes and other renditions of her music. In fact they are just fluff I think. HOWEVER in my last post I introduced you to the talented vocals of Lisse. Low and behold I ran into this video as well. Brilliant!


Videography - BRILLIANT (I am mezmerized by the way the video was shot. My guess is that it was shot with the Cannon 5D Mark II. Just a guess)


Bad Romance cover - BRILLIANT


View and listen for your ears. They need this!



Now you may go and try to download this song in iTunes but I will tell you that you can not. It's only offered on the UK iTunes store and not USA iTunes. But if you use your mind like I did you can find it somewhere and own it as well. ;-)

Lissie - Everywhere I Go

This has been a year of musical discovery for me. I have an addiction to music, as my credit card account with iTunes would vouch. Either way I found this gem of a lady. Here is an acoustic version of Lissie and her song, 'Everywhere I Go.' She is on her tour in Europe right now but mark my words, in 2011 I will see her live. Even if I have to take a road trip. Anyone want to join?
