Addicted to Crack

Welcome to "Addicted to Crack." Now, Mom, let me explain. Not crack as in the drug, but as in the cracks in the rocks we climbed this past Saturday. For those who aren't aware, my friends Mary, Melodie, Eric, and I recently went to Horse Pens 40 to go rock climbing and camping. This series of photos is a result of that trip. It was so much fun that we got addicted to crack, climbing in the rocks, that is.

One is the loneliest number...
















two's better...















three is cool, but someone's missing...
















so there we go!















Some of the time we just hung around.

We all pose at the end of the day so we can make a cool collage.













Being really high up lets you see the beauty from a different angle.


















We had beautiful views, even though it was cloudy and COLD!

Big News!

Sorry I have not posted in so long. It has been so busy over the holidays and leading up to my vacation. Yea! So, hopefully I can post a lot over the next week +.

Ok, here is the big news. My first published photo has arrived. I got it published through picture.com, which then sent it through the International Library of Photography. I received the book in the mail last week. The book is titled Distant Visions. My photograph is on page 41 of the book. I am excited!

However, I must repsectfully voice my opinion about the quality of the book. The standard of excellence was a little lower than I had hoped for among peers. Many of the photographs were so casually taken that I am a little embarassed. They also left out my bio in the back that I paid $25 to have included. I will be notifying them about that!

All in all, I'm just happy to have one published. I also have one being published in two ads this month: theknot.com and theweddingchannel.com for Bella Couture. (www.bellacouturellc.com)
