Anniversarys and a Birthday on Aug 4th

Nancy, Frank, Joy and I celebrated our 36th with our best friends 37th together at the Mortons Steakhouse yesterday. Ariana was born on our 17th wedding anniversary, "my present to Joy" ha! Joy's sister Therese and Mark also had their 30th anniversary yesterday.

The first time I saw Joy was when she transferred into my English class the last semester of our senior year. She wanted to be with her best friend, Denise, who lived across the street from me. I still remember what she wore that first day, a mid-calf length sexy black dress with tiny red flowers and brown high heel granny boots. Joy has that wild light brown curly hair with other attributes that drove me crazy. I ask her to go to the prom with me by using my hippy surfer dude cartoon drawings, I didn't know that she was an artist (and she accepted). Joy told me later that she could tell I had the "hots" for her.

from the Morton's Steakhouse point & shoot camera and card - service was excellent

the Menu was pretty cool too it said "Happy Anniversary August 4, 2009" like it was just made for us.

Portrait with Vignetting

I've been playing alot with portrait shots lately and I like to isolated the subject more with a vignetting effect without using Photoshop - just using my hands.
