Hey, I think they're talking to us...

This was a great photo shoot! This girl was hilarious and fun. I find it interesting when people know how to pose themselves - this chica definitely knew how to pose. Anyways, we took these pictures downtown. There are some great spots that get great light! These are some of my favorite pictures that I have taken. Hope you enjoy them too!

Art where? Everywhere!

The closing of art|everywhere was an amazing night! It included lots of busking and a Thriller Flashmob. Really - can anything beat that? I don't think so!

Art|Everywhere was an amazing event in itself! Norfolk artist submitted artwork that would be displayed up and down Granby Street in the windows of the abandoned buildings. It was something that I think Norfolk needed. There is so much interest in art in Norfolk that there needs to be an outlet for all of it. So Art|Everywhere was a pleasant surprise!

The closing was even better. It reminded me of a something that I would have seen in San Francisco or New York. I am so glad that I was able to take part in this. Hopefully, it will continue!

Random-Ass ish!

I love when days end up being totally random. I think when you look back on those random-ass days you realize those days are some of the best ones you've had. My random-ass day started out as usual, but ended up great! I began the day by sitting around my favorite coffeehouse working on some things for AltDaily. www.altdaily.com There was absolutley nothing going on that day until H. Serrano decided to join me. She needed me to take some pictures of the people who the magazine refers to as Norfologists. You should check out the website and pass along the address to anyone interested in moving to Norfolk. {www.norfology.com}

Anyways, I know that I am always taking pictures, but to actually do something semi-professinally just makes me nervous. I have a hard time putting myself out there for fear of too much criticism. I really wanted to say no, but I knew that I had to get past this fear somehow. So of course I did it!

Here goes the start of my random-ass Thursday!

So the first stop was to shoot the owner of the O'Connor's Brewery in Park Place. He, of course, wasn't there but his brewmaster was, so he gave us a tour of the brewery and poured us some beer. The beer was good! {www.oconnorbrewing.com} Definitely gets my stamp of approval! But the brewery was hot as hell, so we were quickly trying to bounce. After, we both wanted another drink and some eats so we hit up Pasha. Uh - yum! You have to try their smoked salmon bruschetta! Put that on your foursquare and eat it!

Lastly, we ended up at 37th and Zen, hanging out with Bradford and viewing some art. I can't remember the artists, but it was good. The day was eventful, random and fun! Oh yeah, we also got to shark!

Here are the pics of the brewery! You should try the beer - delish.
