The Olympics are here (08.08.08 )

Heres why the 2008 Olympics are good (and why I smell Gold)



•USA Mens Basketball=KOBE BRYANT,Dwayne Wade,L.James,Chris Paul,Jason Kidd,Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh,Tayshaun, Boozer, Chris Bosh,Carmelo, Michael Redd and Deron Williams



•The best beach volleyball womans duo in history. We have them...Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh


•Michael Phelps. The kid isn't human. he is a fish. Go Phelpasaurs! (sorry Jon, I had to use your nickname just once on Michael)





Bonus, it'll be fun to watch:
Spain's Pau Gasol. (Basketball)
China's Yao Ming (Basketball)
Jamaica's Usain Bolt (Track and Field)
China's Liu Xiang (Track and Field)

Although this has been a particularly sticky Olympic situation with the whole communist government and all, but we support a communist government everytime we buy an iPhone or a pair of cheap sunglasses. (or make a trip to Cuba)

I find this a little Disturbing, but how else did they come up with that funny logo?


An Architectural Olympic challenge? Which wins the gold?

GOLD

Quite the building... (you know how everything in this country is phallic? Well, I think in China, its opposite)

SILVER

Say hello to the Birds Nest. Another Venue for Athletic Events at the Olympics.

BRONZE

Let the Games begin!

The Lakers

Oh my! I suppose its about time to come out and say it, I've been holding it in for awhile and only my close friends know this, so here goes... I AM A HUGE LAKER FAN!

Its not that I haven't been a fan for the past 4 years. Its not that I've been ashamed of being such a fan (its just I've been too busy to write anything about my obsission)Anyways, this whole season I've been hooked! And it helps that they're on track to win big this year, also its nice to have newly aquired Pao Gasol, as well as a nearly healthy Kobe "Beef" (errr, bean) Bryant...Anyways, our team is good this year, so go support them.
So if you live in LA (or know where the Lakers play when they come to your town),buy 2 tickets, then strap on some purple and gold, pick me up and then we'll go to the game:)
Now that they're doing good, ticket prices have soured and I'm stuck watching stats on my computer, or being anti-social and peaking at the play-by-play on my Apple iPhone during a study or meeting...So point being; I need press passes; to sit courtside and shoot pictures of the pride and joy of Los Angeles, Kobe,Pau,Lamar,Fish and hopefully A.Bynum soon!

Alright, enough about that, I feel relieved thats off my chest!


Good luck with your Roadtrip lakers, you have your work cut out for you!
New Orleans,Houston,Dallas and Utah...4 of the top teams the NBA has right now.
Lets sweep this trip!

P.S. Poor LA. Clippers... I wonder if they could move to San Diego... or Long Beach?

My Metallic Nike Dunks

Wanna know whats HOT?


My new shoes.
I love um.
Gotta love the metallic.
I'll fill you in as I get requests to appear at parties wearing these new kicks and get paid... no, not like a stripper graham, geeez.

Thought for the day:
Obama is still workin it. No worries.

Shot of the week (12.23.07)

Hey!
I shot this tonight, I think its legit.
Warm Beach Camp 9pm.
Washington State.
1.8 Canon lens.

Its nice to be up here in the rainy Northwest...although I'm pretty sure God has cursed this area with horrible weather...worst in the entire world if you ask some of us (namely Ira and myself) we're working on getting my parents to move away from this area... it gets uglier and uglier every year... sad sad... its getting developed and losing the most beautiful resource, which is trees.
I'm excited for tomorrow, seeing old friends at church, chillen with an old old best friend, playing more basketball with Jonathan and maybe his teammate Caleb, both are from Highland Christian and share the spotlight for their basketball team. We played Last night on their teammate Craig's outdoor court. It was pretty slick (literally)
Alright folks, thats all I got tonight.

P.S. I'm excited for a new season of photography, I feel like I've improved sooo much this last year.
