Shannon Adsero

I had a great shoot with my good friend, Shannon on Sunday. We went to the Olympic Peninsula and explored a bit. It was nice to spend time in the woods.

I am hoping to whip up more of these knot birds in the near future.

I also got a link up on my site for weddings. Yay! http://ayatsato.com/photography/weddings/

Phew.

Well, on Sunday night, my little car was broken into. They tried to steal it but had failed to so they took a number of things from my trunk. External hard drive, D70, iBook...

Now I'm in the process of gathering what I can and pick up where I can. Photographs, designs, animations, videos... Five years worth of memories.

I have such wonderful and supportive friends. I have a shoot on Thursday and a friend of mine is letting me shoot with his camera. A Canon! I've also made plans to have a shoot with my dear friend, Shannon Adsero on Sunday on the Olympic Peninsula. Rebuilding my portfolio for the new decade!

Welcome to the Future.

It's already 2010, huh? 2009 flew by incredibly fast.

A couple of highlights of 2009 included multiple trips to THE CABIN, shooting Ashley & Sam's wedding:

the Polaroid I took of Kyle Johnson on Lens Blog of the NY Times, getting to see My Bloody Valentine & Sunny Day Real Estate, all the trips to Portland, having an amazing group of people that I've become close to at Mars Hill Church, leg tattoos, purchasing my professor's Hasselblad, three group art shows, and a trip to NYC.

There are a billion other great things of 2009. There were definitely some lows but it was a really amazing year in retrospective. From 2000-2009, my favorite years were 2004, 2007, and 2009. Looking back at my Livejournal in those years are the best. I'm not the best blogger. I'd say I just like to journal. I like to keep a record of things; mostly in photographic form.
