MY Photo Shoot

sorry for the lack of updating--- but of course i have been quite busy~!

so to all of my loyal readers (mom and dad) here's what has been happening this past week...

wednesday i shot a bunch of internal videos for MSN then i met up with the Holmbergs and we went to eat in Green park. we were going to go to this one pub... but there was a reservation mix up and we went next door. i had deep fried brie with rasperberry sauce and garlic butter shrimp. (not together) it was sooo good ! it was such a nice resteraunt... i kind of didnt know how to act.
after that just stopped by o'neils with some MU kids after the big football game.

Thursday i spent the morning shooting video for MSN to use while courting M&Ms for some big collaboration or something. which was fun. then maneeza and i walked around st.james park getting some video then Kelsey and i jetted off to Greenwich. (we didnt see the big clock)
we went to see the wheel in greenwich. like a smaller less impressive london eye.
we rode around in it lots and got free pims and lemonade.
i dropped by digital camera and the screen broke.
i do still have a viewfinder.... but it is very sad. i bought this camera with my graduation money right at the start of freshman year. good memories....


then we stopped by work and i met up with the holmbergs and we went to cafe pacifo- a really good mexican place. then britt and brie and i got some gelato then came back and sat in my flat for a bit.

today was the most fun of them all!
today i was photographer extrodinnare.
seriously.

I shot stills for MSN cars--- a twin test- which is basically 2 cars compared against each other.

i was out in my jeans and black t-shirt and professional still camera snapping away over 400 photos. i directed the shoot and the way the cars drove and were posistioned.


i even rode in the bosses Porsche Boxter RS60 Spyder and kneeled and shot photos out the back while we were all moving.
it was SOOOO cool.

i was with CJ from motoring research (this took place in SE london by their office) and Kim- from MSN autos in seattle-- and he used to be the senior editor at Road and Track and he races high performance cars. hes pretty much sooo cool.

the Motoring Research guys took us out to lunch at a local pub before i headed home and saw my video online ! http://news.uk.msn.com/nelson-mandela-celebration-of-hope.aspx

just skyped a bunch of people and now off to nap before our 130am wake up to head out to prague this weekend !!


not only did i have good food and good compay this week.... i was also a photographer for MSN !!!!!!! it was so cool.

too bad i want to be IN FRONT of the camera rather than behind it. because i might not make a bad still photographer.....

well i guess next summer on my break ill have time to figure it all out.
im taking the summer off next year--- i havent had a proper summer holiday in a long time. and NEVER a full summer in bethany.... so i am living in Bethany next summer until sept when i finally agree to start my job at whoever hires me.

see i didnt have bethany as a kid.... gotta make up for those lost summers.... better now then never !!!! :)
