A little something for the Matt Lauria fans…
Matt Lauria plays Luke Cafferty on Direct TV’s Friday Night Lights, which has been renewed for a 5th season!
Look at Matt! I love this.
AHhh, can’t get enough of Friday Night Lights… and especially Matt Lauria!
Boone Ice!
I definitely slipped and fell on my way to class this week. This is why…

New Orleans, Louisiana
First impressions of New Orleans. If only I had taken pictures of the food I have eaten. Wow. Best food of my life. (Sorry Dad)
Jerry from New Orleans!
This is Jerry. Adam Sikora and I met him today. He is a home owner in New Orleans being assisted by Project Homecoming. Adam and I are down here shooting for the new Project Homecoming website. We are staying with my friend Vann who is pictured below. We have had so much fun shooting around town. We are learning a lot about what has happened here and what is being done about it. Most everyone is very friendly, except the people that end up behind me while driving. Lots of one way streets. Very confusing.
LEGO Digital Blue Product Review
I just got this point and shoot LEGO digital camera from Urban Outfitters today. I have been curious about it for a while and have found very little info about it online and couldn’t find any actual photos that were taken with the camera. I decided to get one for myself and test it out. These are some of the first photos that I’ve taken with the camera.
This camera is intended for ages 7 and up. It is very easy to use. It’s 3 MP, has a 1.5″ LCD screen on the back, built-in flash, a fixed focus lens, and comes with a USB cable for dumping the photos as well as charging the camera. There is no card. The camera holds over 300 photos at a time. You just dump, delete, and keep shooting. Lightroom told me that it shoots at 1/30 sec @ f/3. I much prefer to shoot without the flash. It is way too powerful and blows everything out unless you are far away from the subject. In the future I will put something over the flash to diffuse it.
Something unique about this camera is that you can add your own LEGO pieces to the top and bottom. I want to get myself a little LEGO man to put on top. Hope this helps others that are interested!
Vann Hamilton Joines III
This is my first shoot with my new 50mm lens. There was a University Presbyterian Church reunion lunch this week. I saw Vann for the first time in a while and he agreed to come over for a shoot. We got to talking and I’ll hopefully be traveling to New Orleans in the beginning of January and staying with him. He is head of PR and Marketing for an organization called Project Homecomming…
“Project Homecoming is a rebuilding effort of The Presbytery of South Louisiana in partnership with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. We are committed to rebuilding homes devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita that belong to families who are low-income, uninsured, underinsured, disabled, and elderly.
With the help of volunteer labor, we make rebuilding affordable for those who would not otherwise be able to return home. Our administrative costs are fully funded by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, so 100% of all donations go directly to building materials, professional services, and furniture for the homes.”

While I am there I will be photographing volunteers working with the organization and possibly taking some headshots. I also look forward to just exploring the city. I have heard so many wonderful things about New Orleans. This seems like such an amazing opportunity. I really hope it works out!
