Where's the REDBULL?!
At about 2:30 this afternoon as my stomach started it's rebuttal on why I should make a deposit of food and my bladder screamed for a life jacket I knew I had to peel my expanding butt off my chair and take care of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I was hungry, I had to pee, and my eyes were crossing. I quickly made myself a peanut butter sandwich and grabbed a bag of Fire Hot Cheetos and a diet coke. (my weakness definitely revolves around the 'tos' family - Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos - seriously, who can deny their love for the Tos' ...ok, ok, and then there was the invention of 'Munchies' - good gracious, talk about heaven in a bag. Cheetos, doritos, pretzels, and sun chips all wrapped up in one tiny little saturated fat bag!). Anyway, as I wrapped up my 2nd gallery today and headed off to two more shoots I called 5 of my neglected friends and family to alert them of my state of livlihood - simply put, i am still alive. POINT BEING - us photographers are insanely busy right now...And I PROMISE you, I am working as hard as I can to get your galleries to you! And as for the expanding rear (I guess I'd have to remember to EAT to allow expansion) but 2009 is JUST around the corner and I can't abandon the Tos' until then. Break-ups suck. ANOTHER REDBULL, POR FAVOR!!!! :)

Take a Chance on Me
Who doesn't love Abba in all of their sweet sweet Swedishness.. Can't help but hum the melody to 'Take a Chance on Me' when posting this blog spot ;)
'Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
Take a chance on me
(that's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me...'
LOL..
Anyway, I'm headed to San Diego tomorrow to shoot my first wedding for this beautiful couple. So without a doubt, they are taking a chance on me!! I'm very excited for the opportunity! And, hey, marriage is a leap of faith, right...so they are practicing their faith a little with the photographer! Can't wait!
I'll be out of the office through TUESDAY. After that I will proofing my life away until Christmas. I am 250% overbooked for 2008 so start calling Courtney for 09'! Have a good one!

Color me Gorgeous...
I was in a sorority for a bit in college, it was a short bit but I have a few distinct memories...
'If you could describe yourself as a color, what color would you be and why' said the president of Theta Phi Alpha sorority at a retreat back in 1997. As I looked up at the ceiling a few things came to mind, first was, 'seriously, this is the cheesiest 'ice-breaker' i've ever been a part of, am i applying for a job at TGIFridays?'... second thought, why would I have to pick just ONE COLOR?! 'Smithberg (maiden name), it's your turn, what color would you be?' ... 'Well, I'd have to say in all honesty that I would be Rainbow Brite, that chic has it goin' on!'
Since it IS Halloween I'd HAVE to say again today that I'd be Rainbow Brite...check her out, she rocks in all of color wonder craziness. I LOVE HER STYLE. So much in fact I thought it'd be fun to google Rainbow Brite and see what I came up with. There are all sorts of songs out there, one particular tune left me with a quote AND a good laugh, 'Rainbow Brite brings a shiny light to every face, shines for all to see, and makes the world a better place, Rainbow Brite and ME (that's ME!!!).' Anyway, it's no secret that I love color in ALL of it's form. I use loads of color when I dress, loads of color to decorate my house, and LOADS of color while proofing pictures - do I always match..not so much but it's my thing. How can you deny love for color? Who doesn't like a beautiful orange, red, and yellow sunset over a bright blue ocean, or seeing all the leaves change from green to glorious reds, oranges, blues, yellows?? How about seeing someone with beautiful brown skin with big green eyes? After a rain when a big ol' rainbow appears - I challenge you not to smile!! I LOVE color (and redundancy obviously ;). SO roll around it, it'll make you a better person. I'll leave you with one last quote for the day taken from my favorite new designer, pretty much sums up my way of thinking;
"Color is the most accessible, over-the-counter, mood altering substance I can think of. Overdose on color." - Jonathan Adler
