Training Camp 2007


As I drove to Santa Barbara last Friday morning for the Los Angeles Heat training camp it hit me that this was training camp for me too. I was excited to use my new lens and try out the image stabilization feature. My friend Derek let me borrow his monopod which came in handy and not to mention made me look like a pro. I was a bit worried that I wouldnt get a chance to take pictures because of the forecasted rain but thank God it didnt rain all weekend. When I arrived the guys were already on the field practicing. The location was amazing, It was at the Santa Barbara City College football field directly across the street from the beach. (which is where we had lunch) I took lots of pictures and I wish I could share them all with you but these will have to do for now.






After practice we all went out to dinner
These guys love to have their picture taken--I hope they love to buy pictures too!

Happy Valentine's Day


A friend of mine called me this morning to wish me a "Happy single awarness day". I chuckled and thought to myself I know I'm single and I dont need a holiday to make me aware of that fact. I dont know what it is about this day that makes people crazy. (I think it's the caffeine in the chocolate) Now I dont want you to think that I am anti-love or anti-valentine's day because I'm not. I do enjoy receiving valentine cards, balloons, cookies, camera equipment, food, etc.....For example my heart went pitter patter when my mom called this morning and with laughter in her voice she yelled "Happy Valentine's day mama, I love you!" and when my friends daughter Mystique brought me this balloon that you see above. It's the little things like this that make me thank God that I have family and friends that show me LOVE all year around and not just today. Going back to being single and aware of it. It's o.k. to be single on a day like today, enjoy it! It's not like you have a choice. I myself will wait on the Lord till He thinks I'm ready to be in love.

This was my heart before and I thank God for restoring it and making it whole.


For those of you that are nursing a broken heart remember this
THE LORD IS NEAR TO THOSE WHO HAVE A BROKEN HEART
PSALM 34:18
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Need? or Want?

Need? or Want?
Have you ever asked yourself that question before a major purchase? I did this past weekend as I drove to Samy’s camera in Pasadena . I knew the day would come when I would have to buy another lens but I didnt expect it to be so soon. You see now that I am employed by the Los Angeles Heat =) I need a telephoto lens. There's the magic word again "need" as in a necessity not a want. I had some serious anxiety about this purchase, I remember feeling this way when I was signing the contract for my first new car. I took my friend Derek along for moral support and I want to thank him for documenting my purchase.

This is me reluctantly handing over my credit card

The look on my face says it all as I sign for my purchase


I couldnt wait to get home to open the box so I did it at the store


TA DAAA!!!!
