Stogie Commentary: Quitting is the Big Difference

Good quick editorial on cigar smoking over at StogieGuys. Check out the Link below to read the full commentary.

Stogie Commentary: Quitting is the Big DifferenceWith so much anti-tobacco effort devoted to stopping under-age smoking so that young people won’t become addicted, it seems worthwhile to point out that cigars don’t present that problem. Cigar smokers light up because they want to, not because they need to.

Wedding Shoot: San Antonio Day 2

Shooting a wedding for family this weekend.

In San Antonio

Four o’clock Houston traffic on I-10 really sucked… We arrived in San Antonio at about 8pm, about an hour late.

Ate dinner with the family and I busted out the camera with the new Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket. From the looks of the LCD screen the pics should be good. I forgot my flash reader so I wont be able to check out the pics until I get home.

Breakfast is at 9:30am tomorrow, will probably be getting up for that, since I am shooting Sammi’s Uncle’s wedding tomorrow. Need to eat well so I can be on my toes for good shots. Hopefully I’ll get mass quantities of caffeine so I won’t drag my feet.

Happy Holidays

With the holidays around, everyone is soo busy! If anyone is in town over the holidays hit me up email or cellphone I’ll make an effort to catch up with you!

So when you have a bunch of friends and you get one a Christmas present, then what do you do to keep all your friends happy. What if I don’t want to get all my friends gifts, only one or two friends… It’s troublesome.


3 Rings Cabernet

Had “3 Rings Cabernet Sauvignon 2004” last night, it was the best cabernet I’ve ever tasted. It’s an Australian wine from the “Barossa Valley”. I’ve done extensive google searching on it, and cannot find anything, not even a mention of it. Although their 2004 Shiraz has a lot of attention. Maybe I’ll try and find that, Shiraz and Cab. are very close wines, possible I’ll get the same wonderful experience? Perhaps not, this was a “id buy a case if I could find it” kind of wine.
