Checking out Rick Sinnett's Work for Public Arts Project 66
I was able to meet Rick Sinnett this past weekend at The Womb Art Gallery. Great guy and amazing artist doing some colossal things in Oklahoma along Route 66 and throughout the state. He showed me his drawings which will stimulate the old wheat elevator that now houses Rocktown Climbing Gym in OKC. What a great idea to not only use public art to revitalize an area but also to tie the state together. I can't wait to see it and photograph this talented artist's work. Thanks Rick for sharing your vision.

MINI PHOTO SHOOT on Black Friday
Here's a little promo I'm doing ~ If you follow my posts or know my work you know I've gone back to art school at the University of Oklahoma. I'm having a great time at school but with my crazy schedule I've had to limit the number of shoots I'm doing. I've decided to do a few Mini Sessions this month and next to allow for those who want me to shoot their portraits some time with me as well as get an incredible deal. I'm going to offer a mini session photo shoot with the digital downloads of five of the images taken.
My first available date for this shoot is on Black Friday, November 25, 2011. So let your kiddos sleep in while you go shop ~ then come back and meet me in Norman for a quick, fun photo shoot. Like I said, THESE ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED ~ so call to reserve your spot ASAP.

STOP THE GREAT FIREWALL OF AMERICA
Did you know that a Bill is being debated in Congress which will change how we use the Internet in the U.S. FOREVER!!
~I am a photographer and I don't want my photos to be "stolen" just like anyone else. However, by shutting down our First Amendment Rights on the Internet is WRONG!!! This will affect how you put videos on YouTube of your family, your content on Twitter, and even your posts on Facebook. This BILL will change the way the Internet is used, similar to China's.
~
Alarm at the infringement of creative works through the Internet is justifiable but PLEASE CONTACT your CONGRESSMAN & SENATORS to SAY NO the PROTECT IP ACT.
