Misc Monday – January 18th edition

Another week done. So many things happened this week. Mostly from Friday until Sunday. Monday-Friday was the same old. 9-5, then 5-9. Had a great conversation with my bride for next weekends wedding. One week to go for the lovely Krista and Mark.

My Wife went to Home Depot on Sunday to get our tile, for our bathroom reno project. In 2 weeks we tile the bathtub. I can’t wait, I’ve never tiled before. However, as she was reaching for a box of tiles, one slipped and landed right on her middle and ring fingers. She ended up going to the hospital and the X-Ray showed she sprained her middle finger and broker her ring finger. A nice hairline fracture. 4-6 weeks for healing.

How to Evaluate Wedding Photographers at a Bridal Show. This was a great post, not only because my friend and fellow Wedding photographer is in it, but because I attended the spring wedding show as a pedestrian and not a vendor. I walked the show floor talking to other photographers and it was a 50/50 split of friendly vs foe. Now, this article doesn’t talk about that, but it does give some great advise to all you future brides and grooms out there. This year might be my first time attending a show as a vendor, so stay tuned for those details much later this year.

The Ibanez Universe 20th Anniversary & Jem Design Contest. I love Ibanez guitars and man I would love to own one of these. I played an original one at Steve in Montreal many years ago, but that was it. Now I do have my own Ibanez 7 string, but it ain’t as cool as owning this puppy:
