Go away Dean!!

Dean is hitting the waves in the Carribean Sea hard and watch as one bride evacuated and had her dream wedding moved to another locale. I am a sucker for this stuff! The DW girls and I have been watching this story all weekend courtesy of Matt Adcock. Might I add that my mom is in Jamaica on the south coast...local governments were advised to have lines taken down as the storm approached...with that said Go Away Dean!! i want to talk to my mom! lol.

A solemn tribute to Officer Timoshenko

I am currently based in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn New York. We are a community based off of the south eastern end of Prospect Park.

As many of you may have heard, there was a brutal shooting of two of our NY police officers (Herman Yan and Russel Timoshenko). It happened about 100 yards from my home. With the passing of Officer Timoshenko, a few of my neighborhood residents and myself went to visit the 71st precinct to offer cards and kind words for the 71 and Russels family. It was a impromptu gesture and i couldn't create a decent card but did make a collage:



I was surprised when Bob Marvin of The Lefferts Manor Organization's Echo (our local newsletter) asked me to print it. I am thankful and yet still hoping that Officer T's family can find a way to deal with their grief.

TodayI am trying out a new color scheme on the Brooklyn Bridge Wedding invitation. The Brooklyn Bridge invitation is gaining some popularity, thanks for the interest to all who have made inquiries. Here are a few as requested by a woman whom I hope to have the privilege of working with.

Remember the Ritz!!!

Much praises due to the brother in this video, Mr. Robert Gray...I promised myself i would blog more about my bike and getting back in to my wild riding days (hence the post on puma moto below), but man you have got to see this sideshow of a "thoughtful" not elaborate as the media has picked up on it:

A disclaimer, These are by the talented Ross Oscar Knight. and I am a photographer so i will be linking his blog. Here are a few precious samples of Mr. Knights Work (whom might i add is a very young gifted and handsome brother)

Amazing Photo journalism. Just as the style I was taught in College, Mr. Knight captures the emotions of Keisha in its ever changing scenarios.

PUMA MOTO!!!

I haven't rode my KLX650 in over a year : (

Anyone who knows me, knows my LUST for Puma clothing and footwear...I even got to be a contributing photographer for a Puma commercial shoot in September 2006. so...when I stalked the Puma website, I came across this in flash, hence the screen shots.


Yes that is a "puma cast" hahahahaha I love that! that was me in 2000 when I fractured my ankle lol. and they should make cast covers like that. i guess then some of us ::ahem:: wouldnt be forced to cut their cast off early : |



I am unsure of what I love more about this: the mechanical joints, or the sole. I am in love!



Now, this just has sexy written all over it! I could rock this with tight jeans and/or a skirt. Great for showing the cute rider in me!

Mark Eric on ABC

I am having a strong urge to get back into my photography. I studied under Janine Coyne in College. Something is saying "get back out there". When I first started the blog I linked a photographer who's work I came across while looking for a boudoir photographer for a bride. I then stumbled across his "Trash the Dress" blog. Which inspired the post for the "my knottie friend..." blog entry.

Well Mark Eric/Trash the Dress was featured on ABC's Saturday Morning Show!!

Here is a link to the broadcast CLICK. Here's a link to the photos on the ABC website CLICK.

These are a couple of teasers from his site. Keep in mind that not all of the images are his, Mark has Photographers all over that send him from their own "TTD" sessions with brides. These from Dawn Earles Photography are gorgeous and have a most chilling essence to them.
