Bullets of Life - Jan 30, 2013

Hello hello!

Welcome to "Bullets of Life"! A monthly post updating you on what I'm doing and where I'm going.
Why bullets? Let's be honest I suck at writing, I'm a person of few words (I just get tongue tied a lot T_T), and grammer pisses me off to be frank. ^_^ Aren't you excited?!

Without further ado:

1. Shooting a wedding next week in North Bay on Feb 9, 2013

2. Planning a "I put that shit on everything - Pulled Pork edition" photoshoot! Be very excited

3. Editing a slew of images old and new

4. Updating website  - deleting and adding

5. Went to NYC for the holidays expect a few images from that.

6. Got some LED lights so expect some video production to start coming out

7. Working on new marketing strategies

8. "Made in China" the gallery show I was in last year is still alive and kicking! You can see some images online at www.vistek.ca or in-stores in their gallery check the website for dates and locations. Next stop Ottawa!

9. Another summer another adventure. I'll be heading to Ecuador and Peru for 21 April 26 - May 17!

10. My bank account is gasping for air after having to pay for #9! T_T

11. Might go to culinary school in the fall.....

Until next time....

Felisha & Kris Wedding Preview

Now I don't shoot weddings often; however, when it's a destination wedding to Punta Cana and it's a amazing couple like Felisha & Kris who can decline? It was an amazing trip with a lot of memorial moments one of which is that it was my birthday the same day as the wedding and the bride and groom decided to get the waiters to give me a lap dance.....like a said not your ordinary couple.

Anyways check out a few of the images bellow and a preview of the highlight reel. I'm still working on the images a full post should follow by next week.

Kris - Groom

Felisha - Bride

Danielle - Groomsmen/girl also my roommate from China

I didn't get a chance to go into town for long but did mangage to sneak off the resort for a bit on morning.

I think thats their president in the background

or someone trying to get elected, his face is everywhere :s 

Saw this kid baby we stopped by the church but didn't get a chance to 

take her photo, luckily we saw her again while passing by another church.

The Hanging

It's been a long time coming but it's finally done. Made In China is officially hung! Started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 1:00 a.m. :0 time really flys when you have stuff to do.

Be sure to come and check out the show, by far this is one of the best student exhibition set ups of these trips I've seen so far. A lot of interesting framing, mounting, and images. This is not your average exhibit to say the least.

I'll be posting photos and video of the opening reception later this week in the meantime here are a few images from location during set-up :)

Metal Prints

Alana Hanging & Ashley Sitting

p.s did I mention I got voluntold as one of the MC's for the night? Oh here go hell come :)

God took this photo.....

God took this photo.....

Okay maybe God didn't take this photo but he was my assistant ^_^
I'm not religious at all (let's be honestly I haven't been to church since I was 6, I'm now 21.....)I'm just messing with you guys, the reason why I said God was my "assistant" was because I needed some fill and both my reflectors are at friends houses, no foam core/corrugated plastic, and no aluminum foil....what the hell;however, thats when God came into my life and I remembered that there was a God Bless Our Home mirror hanging in my mums room and here we are. ^_^

Anyways crappy story over, this is one of the shots I took just now unedited. Once I combine my exposures and such I'll post the finish product. BTW  this was a spur of the moment shoot, was told not to go to work today since there was a power outage (why does this happen every year? :s) So I slept till 1:00 p.m., don't judge me, until the sun started glaring through the window and woke me up.

Not 100% what to call this dessert, let's just call it no bake cheesecake. All I had that was quick to prepare was cream cheese, chocolate, graham crackers, pecans, and sheered coconuts. THESE WERE THE INGREDIENTS CHOSEN TO MAKE THE PERFECT LITTLE DESSERT, BUT PROFESSOR KIDDY ACCIDENTALLY ADDED AAN EXTRA INGREDIENT TO THE CONCOCTION.....CHEMICAL X! THUS THE "NO BAKE CHEESECAKE" WAS BORN!!!........sorry but the Powerpuff Girls them popped into my head so I had to type that out *shame*

Anyways, there's a fashion shoot coming up Sunday bellow is a test of us working on hair and make up.

Until next time,

Kadeisha
