    Justin Moore

    I agree, he does sound better live when he doesn't over exaggerate the twang. Blake Shelton was amazing times 10. Does a really good job of connecting with the crowd instead of just coming on stage and doing a set and leaving. Meeting Justin Moore was cool, but I didn't get to chat with him too much, it was pretty much: hey how ya doin, answer a few questions, take a picture, good bye. He's such a little man

    Must Watch: Kony 2012

    I'm glad this guy got arrested, it's shedding light on his shitty charity... there are MUCH better organizations that help out in the same area. Invisible Children is not a charity organization, it's a business. Only 32% of the total donations actually make it to Africa. That's pathetic. Not only that, but Kony isn't even in Uganda anymore. The video uses falsified facts to make it sound even worse than it is (and it's pretty bad). They also use data from years ago that is no longer valid. "charities" like this piss me off, I am the co-director of Wheels of Change, and neither myself or my father (the other co-director) have ever accepted a PENNY. This is how we believe charities should be run. We paid our own way to get to Africa to see how our charity's model was working. I highly encourage you all to visit http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/ This site outlines everything that is wrong with the KONY2012 movement as well as lists of charities that do great work in the Uganda region.

    Justin Moore

    I saw Justin Moore last year at by far the best concert I've ever been too... It had Justin Moore, Darius Rucker, and Brad Paisley. Hopefully Blake Shelton can make up for having Dia Frampton open up...who I had never heard of till I looked her up right now. And she's about as far from country as you can get.... so I'm not sure why they chose her to go on tour with them.

    Photography: Fiery Night Shooting

    Hey guys, I haven't been shooting to much lately because it's the middle of winter and everything is so blah right now. But a teammate of mine has started getting into night shooting so I've taken him under my wing to begin training him. Well last night we went out and decided to expirament with Steel Wool Photography. Basically all it is is taking a metal wisk, stuffing it with steel wool, attaching it to a cable, then lighting it on fire and swinging it around. So here ya go: I wish picasa wouldn't kill the quality of this ish... when I get these uploaded to PeakPhotography I'll hit you guys with the link. As always, Comments/favorites/critiques/ect Love, Sweetness

    The Big Bang Theory

    I love Big Bang Theory...Kayley Cuoco is smoking hot. But while it's pretty funny for the casual observer, if you can actually get some of the science jokes they become even more hilarious. I've taken quite a few chemistry classes so I find their chemistry jokes hilarious. But physics shit flys over my head.

    Photography: Back in action

    Ha the truth is that .com would have cost me $2,500 or something like that. So I rolled with .org. Ya I need to fix the about me picture. I'm not sure what I'm going to use though, because the NCAA won't let me use my name or a picture of myself. So I might just my helmet or some ish for my picture.

    Star Trails Time Lapse

    This is something I took back in December and finally got around to finishing it. It's my first every video, but I plan to do a lot more videos. I'm officially on staff as a photographer for my dad's company (which could be huge for my work as his company is constantly in Nat Geo and Travel and Leisure Magazine, could mean huge exposure for my work). But he wants more videos and just bought a damn nice video set up for his company. Well anyway. The images created from this video are here: Comments/critique/and all that shit.

    Lol Dominos

    So my roomie ordered the Dominos Mac and Cheese on Saturday night... you know, the one that's supposed to look like this: but when we got it, this is what it looks like. so I call em up and am like, wtf? So they send out a replacement for us. Alright sweet. This is the second one they give us.... So then the dude calls me to ask if the new one was good, and I was like hell no that shit looks terrible still. And his response, "well I thought it looked better".... just facepalm dude.

    Lol Dominos

    So tonight I got another call from the owner..... he was pissed. Apparently he saw the pictures online. He claimed I was trying to ruin a local business. When I told him I posted them because of his attitude he hung up on me. Corporate got another email tonight.

    Photography: Setup

    So I posted this ish on tumblr, thought I'd post it up here too if anyone wanted to know what I'm shooting with. Camera: Canon Rebel T2i- $509 and Canon 30D- $900.. The rebel is my main shooter now, it’s an amazing camera for the price. The 30D is old but durable. It’s become a great back up camera body. Lenses: Canon 18x200 f/3.5-5.6 $540.. This is a great all purpose lens, there isn’t anything that this lens does amazingly well, but it does a lot of things very well. From wide to telephoto. Great for landscapes. Canon 50mm f/1.8- $105… by far one of my favorite lenses, it is incredibly cheap but the quality far surpasses my 18x200. Amazing for portraits due too large aperture. Rokinon 8mm fisheye- $289… All the fun of having a fisheye, without dropping $1,500 for Canon’s version. Best for late night star shooting and landscapes where you want to capture the scene without doing a panorama. Tamron Macro 28-300 f/3.5-6.3- $410… Originally a $800 lens, but it’s pretty dated. Therefore it doesn’t make it out of my backpack too much. But still a pretty good lens for distant wildlife (but a tripod is needed without any image stabilizer built in. Also it’s good for macro photography, which I don’t do a lot of. Canon 70-200 f/2.8- $2,069… Yes that price tag is rather scary, and I protect this lens with my life. But for sports/wildlife photography, you can’t beat it. This is a pro lens that I managed to get my hands on for a cheaper price than normal off a pro photographer who upgraded. The essentials: Lexar 32 gig Class 10 card - $32…. the class 10 is a must have, it allows my camera to shoot HD video as well as not lag and cause missed shots. It’s cheap too, if you have a camera that takes SD cards, get this now! Sandisk 16 gig class 6 card- $22.. I have two of these, and just avoid them and get the Lexar. It’s worth the extra $10. Intravalometer- $19… I went with a non Canon brand to save quite a bit of cash. But it works like a champ..you NEED this if you even want to think about doing night photography. It’s a remote for your camera. Battery grip- $30… also a non Canon brand to save money. And this is really a personal choice. I like the added weight and the ability to stack two batteries in there for shooting video. Tripods- I have two, one that is more compact and another that is big and bulky. The bulky one is specifically for night shoots so it doesn’t get blown over when I leave it unattended for star trails. And the compact is for backpacking. I honestly don’t know the brands as I’ve had them for so long the names have worn off. But message me if you want a tripod recommendation. Batteries- I carry at least 5 spare batteries at all times. Night shooting can burn them quick. So that's it, if you made it this far.... congrats, I'll mail you a cookie.

    Photography: Setup

    Not much of a purpose, I took the time to write it out foursome people so thought I'd post it up here too. While I really need to upgrade my rebel, you really can't beat it for the price. I want a 7D but the rumors are that canon is coming out with a 7D Mark II this year. Which means the 7D might have a major price drop. yaaaaa no

    Lol Dominos

    I honestly don't have a huge problem with this. I probably won't be eating dominos for a while. But I just posted it up so everyone could get a laugh out of it. The owneris a flaming douche though, corporate has been chill.

    Lol Dominos

    He called me twice in twenty minutes. Impatient fuck. And he gave me attitude like right off the top. Corporate must of bitched him out. I'm pretty sure it was the same manager that called me that night and told me, "well I thought it looked alright".
  21. sweetness34

    Lol Dominos

    Oh I sent them a not so nice email with pictures.. I also told them I was going to post the photos on my blog and all over the internet. They apologized and told me the store is locally owned, so they forwarded it on onto the store owner. Well I got a very pissed off call from the store owner today, he was like "I'll give you a refund, just come down to the store. I think it's childish to resort to threats" So fuck their $6, I'm making this shit blow up at all costs.

    What is the worst dream you have ever had?

    Was sleeping on a plane when I had an extremely realistic dream of the plane taking a nose dive straight to the ground. Woke up right as it hit. Took me a while to make sure I was still alive.

    Photography: Winter break finale

    Ya I went for a dramatic feel on that first one, figured I had the other one for a normal one. Appreciate it. Yes that's my girlfriends Golden Retriever, he's 10 months old I love the trains around here, I knew I wanted to get one from this spot for so long because it's just off the interstate between college and home. I was heading back to college and I saw the train ahead so I had to race to get in front of it for the shot. Thanks all of you
