Before I forget, here are the daily photos and poems from the last three days:

04.04.10

Precious butter, you
make the world a better place
I love you dearly

04.05.10

Remember me in
this translucent universe
from morning to night

04.06.10

Too many bottles
make empty shells of people
Life’s too good for this

Plus two photos from last week that I forgot to blog:

And lastly…this:

Coffee & fresh air

Filed Under Blog | 1 Comment

I’ve been making a lot of changes lately. One thing I’ve decided is that I want to try and take at least one photo and write a poem every day.

This morning I went to the front yard for picture-taking and used magneticpoetry.com to write the haiku for today.

Coffee & fresh air
Breathe deep & drink from the cup
This cloudless morning

For anyone else looking to make some changes, this is a great list of 30 Habits that Will Change your Life

P.S. I have a Tumblr now! megkat.tumblr.com

New Headshot

Filed Under Blog | 1 Comment

So, while visiting at my parents house a few days ago I decided to do an impromptu photo shoot with dad to give him a new headshot.

Canon Rebel XT, 50mm 1.8

Set up was simple – BIG window in front, white sheet for a backdrop (held up by being draped over a tripod and some…metal decorative thingy) and had my mom hold a large white canvas on his left side to bounce light onto his face.

Ta-da! I know that was a short post but I’ll be writing and putting up more photos soon :)

The boys

Filed Under Blog | 2 Comments

I got a call from my aunt Melissa the other day requesting some head shots of her boys. I went over yesterday for an hour or so for a shoot with the adorable little maniacs.

(Set up: Me, their backyard, Rebel XT, 50mm 1.8, and the sun)

Also edited a few for fun.

The “outtakes” aka what they did 99% of the time :)

Don’t you just want to pinch their cheeks?!

And now…tea time.

Backstage with Audrey Assad

Filed Under Blog | 3 Comments

Doesn’t that title sounds so ridiculous? Like “E! True Hollywood Story!”. I couldn’t resist though.

My friend Audrey was in town yesterday performing a free concert. (If you haven’t heard of her yet, you probably will soon. She has a mind-blowingly beautiful voice and one of her most recent projects was writing and performing the song Winter Snow with Chris Tomlin. <--youtube link)

I got a last minute message to come early and hang out before the show so I hopped in the truck and nervously drove through the nasty 17-92 traffic to get there (I hate driving most of the time because of the horrible Florida drivers. I break out in a sweat, I get panicky...it's very tiring)

Well, I made it there fine and was able to spend a fantastic few hours with Audrey (also got to see Heather, another friend I hadn't seen in ages, and ran into my husbands cousin, Brian!).

I basically just followed her around for the several hours before the show and took photos the entire time. The security was hilariously tight and I felt way too important being escorted around by them as I walked with Audrey and the other artists. I really can't remember anyone's name (sorry guys!) but they were all extremely friendly and no one put up a fuss with my constant snapping of photos.

I'm putting my favorite 15 here in the post, the rest you can view in my Flickr set here: Flickr Set – Audrey Assad in Concert.

These are all from the sound check
