things that are awesome - week 2

hi there kiddos,

welcome to this week’s installment of things that are awesome.

1. stargate universe. at least, i hope it will be awesome. hope and pray. because, blog world. we. love. stargate. and let me tell you, i wasn’t always such a sci-fi nerd i promise. it all started when we studied abroad in italy and were spending a rare night huddled in our apartment with a laptop and a borrowed set of season 1 of stargate sg-1. (another friend from our school loved the show and brought it with him.)

the conversation that ensued went something like this:

tony: let’s watch this. it looks cool!
gina: it looks ridiculous. i’m not watching some stupid sci-fi show.
tony: pleeeeeeaaaaassssseeeee. i can’t watch another episode of “walker, texas ranger” completely in italian again.
gina: fine! but if it sucks, we’re turning it off immediately.
*play show*
tony: so what did you think?
gina: OMG I LOVE IT!

and that’s how it started… or something like that anyway. ;) so you don’t need to be a super sci-fi nerd to enjoy a really cheesy sci-fi show once in awhile. and i can’t tell you how happy i am that they are reincarnating the series in a much cooler, edgier fashion. don’t believe me? check out the trailer!


2. wisconsin. because that’s where we are right now! :) spending a few days relaxing up by the lake. and by relaxing, i mean trying to convince tony that i don’t really need to go in. looking is nice enough. (i’m petrified of lakes actually… come to think of it. maybe not so awesome?)

3. free itunes! don’t forget that every 100th commenter gets a FREE $10 itunes card! so speak up all you shy ones. you could be jamming to some new tunes very soon. courtesy of the coolest new photographers on the block. ;)

new castle, de

when shilpa contacted us about shooting their raas garba, i literally squealed when i read the email. tony and i were so excited to be a part of something that was completely new to us. when we first met with shilpa and ruchir, they explained all the cool traditions and fun dances that go along with the raas garba. i would try to explain it here, but i know i wouldn’t be able to do it justice. :) but let me just say how absolutely awesome it was to be there and see it all first hand.

there was so much dancing, and so much color, and so many happy faces. (as you can see by me trying to squeeze in, like, a bajillion photos in this post.) it was such a great experience and we can’t wait to go to another one!

shilpa&ruchir - thanks for including us in all your festivities! you are such an awesome, gorgeous couple and we were lucky to be a part of it. :)

see shilpa&ruchir’s gallery here. the password is the bride’s maiden name.

until next time darlings,

things that are awesome

sometimes i have things i’d like to share with all you lovely blog readers that are completely un-photography related. so while debating this with tony and trying to find a way to fulfill this need of mine, we decided to start a weekly post entitled ‘things that are awesome.’ because everyone could use a little more awesome in their lives, right?

so for our very first post of awesomeness, here are the things i’ve found to be awesome times 12 in the past week.

1. happy hour at sonic!

now i’m not one to flout fast food. (in fact, i’m not even a super huge fan of sonic’s food in general.) but let me impress upon you the insane awesomeness that is a HALF PRICE CHERRY LIMEADE. i would gladly surrender my first born child for one of these. it’s like someone mixed together a shirley temple and heaven. no joke. but to add to that, they make them half price from 2-4 pm every day?! sweet lord. words cannot describe.




*not our photo

2. this wedding party. just watch. the total awesomeness is blatant.


3. harry potter! anyone who knows me knows i loooove harry potter. and i’m not ashamed to admit it. i’ve read all the books about a gazillion times. i think the movies are crazy entertaining. i love magic. period. and that’s why you should all go see the new movie pronto. and watch the others if you haven’t seen them yet. (and better yet, read the books!) and if anyone wants to nerd out to harry potter with me, i’m so down.

and speaking of awesome, we have some really awesome shoots that are going to be posted really soon! we’ve been running around like chickens with our heads cut off, but we’re really pumped to get this all up. you will not be disappointed!!
