OHHHHH what a FUNNNNN Saturday we had!!!!!!
Betsy and Gail come to Indy to visit us, YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!!!
They came for a couple of reasons… to learn how to clean their sensors (which, according to Mike, is RIDICULOUSLY easy), off camera lighting, and our workflow/file organization. But really… most of the day… we just giggled.Thank Mike for being so patient
Now, you all know Betsy of course… she's been on this blog many, many, many, MANY times!
AND NOW… INTRODUCING GAIL!!!!! Okay, that was a little over the top
Gail is a photographer in Muncie who's GREAT friends with my GREAT friend BetsySo, if A equals B and B equals C… that THAT must mean that I'm GREAT friends with Gail, too! Have I lost you yet? Gosh, I'm not even sure I'm following along.
ANYWAY… when Betsy and Gail had finished cleaning their sensors, they decided to play with some of our lenses. Betsy grabbed my all-time favorite… the 50mm 1.2Gail grabbed an up and coming favorite… the 35mm 1.4As they stood on our balcony shooting with it… I couldn't resist grabbing Gail's camera with that 35 attached and shooting one of herSo.. I did!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THAT BEAUTY?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!!! You couldn't have resisted either… guaranteed.
That was taken at 1/200th of a second… backlit during the setting sun at f 1.6ANNNND… ISO 160.
And there she is… our beloved 35 1.4(of course, taken with my true favorite… the 50mm 1.2)
What I love about the 35 is that it's pretty close to how our eyes see the world. I like to show everyone how I see the beauty of people… through my eyes. I like to shoot up close and personal with it. I like how intimate the images are. I like that when you see photos from that lens, you can feel like you were right there experiencing it right next to us. Gosh, I'm sounding RIDICULOUSLY cheesy but really… this is exactly how I feel. :)
It's oh so sharp, quick to focus… and well… it's just an awesome little lens
Okay, that's it from me… for now
I know I know… our blog has been a little bit slow lately… but, we scheduled a few weeks off from shooting so that we could do exciting things like… taxesI do have to say that it's been GREAT getting all caught up on the paperwork/organization side of things because when things aren't done, I'm an anxiety attack waiting to happen.
Shooting is picking up for us a bit this week… so our little blog will have some life thrown right back into it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

PS. Betsy and Gail met through THIS very blog… isn't that COOL?! I don't really know the specifics but something like Gail had seen Betsy's photos here…. clicked over to her blog… saw how amazingly awesome Betsy was…. and they started emailing. :D As a side note… Gail never emailed me due to how amazingly awesome I am…. but, whatever, she knows now.
PPS. I hope you guys know that I'm being sarcastic. Mike thought I should remove that last PS. I responded, "NO ONE would EVER think I'm being serious!" His response, "I know… but I'm not sure they know…" So… now you know

PS. as always, join anytime… just add your name in the comment section down there and then every week just report your loss (also in the comment section)
PPS. Sorry to be a debbie downer this week… i just get so frustrated when I don't lose…
So what IS Twitter?! With my VAST vocabulary, let me attempt to explain. (I'm being sarcastic, if you couldn't tell) HMMMM… It's essentially a social networking site where we can update you with what we're doing all day 140 characters or less. I look at it like I'm sending a text to all of my friends at the same time.
If you want more info… read the Wikipedia definition here….
However, since joining twitter, we've noticed that our daily lives have proven to be quite boring :( So, sometimes it's a place just to share a funny thought, ask opinions, share personal views, business stuff, etc.
My tweets are often a little embarrassing… as I don't have much shame…
Sometimes quite random:
EDITED TO ADD: That happened on the last day of school. Back then, I was often chosen as the anchor for our po-dunk morning news production… and she was often chosen as the person to run the teleprompter… I guess she didn't like her position…. and that I was a bich.
But usually… I'm just sharing my day…. which is quite uneventful
Mike has JUST joined the Twitter revolution… His updates are a little more witty, unfiltered, inappropriate and well… VERY funny. PS. that link is a pic he snapped with his iPhone on his way to KC for the weekend…. it's an advertisement for THIS which he found in the SkyMall catalog. I couldn't quit laughing when I saw it…
He's also quite smart… and very sarcastic.
But just like me… most of his "tweets" involve our pretty uneventful life…
and by the way… that was the best dinner we've ever had…no exaggeration… YUM!!!!
SOOOO, if you want to peak into our daily lives/thoughts… check out our twitter feeds
Here's Mine… www.twitter.com/bobbiandmike
And here's Mikey's…. www.twitter.com/mikeandbobbi (as Chad said, "it's about time for Mike to get a little left side of the plus sign love" HAHAHAHAHA! Get it?! LEFT SIDE OF THE PLUS SIGN?! mike+bobbi?! HAHAHAHA! Okay… maybe that's only hilarious to me… shutting up now…)
Oh, I'd like to add that it might be a boring week here on the blog as I've dedicated this week to designing albums…. but I'll try… I promise I'll try!!!!!
Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Monday!
Love!
