See my amazing one handed self portrait skillz? :)

Stage Light

This is at my church, believe it or not.  We rented some moving intelligent heads (lights) for one service, just to keep it real like that.  I volunteer for the church, so I spent most of my weekend setting these puppies up, then programming them to move around, flash, and change color in time with the song.

It was intense.  Like camping.  Sorry for the bad pun that only really works when spoken :p

A Beach. With Clouds.

Wow guys, sorry for the absence.  Tim and I were both at the beach for the weekend.  We've got pictures, which I'm sure some of you have seen on Facebook.  We'll have photos up on our respective blogs.  So don't worry, we are alive.
