Each year Pasco County Libraries puts on a free concert with amazing local talent and this year was amazing.  Travis and I had the wonderful task of photographing this years concert.  It was a blast!! We had such a good time with all of the bands and all of the volunteer’s.  Check out both of our flickr sights for a few of our favorite shots!! All of the shots from all of the events we have been invited to photograph can be found at the following URL.  Just a note, Travis did NOT make that gallery where they are all being displayed!!  http://pascolibraries.org/teen_music.shtml

You can also go to the libraries myspace and check out all of the latest pictures from us.  (We are only responsible for the Get loud @ NR and LOL album pictures.  Then once posted our latest pictures will all be in the Rockus Maximus Retro 2009 album)  It really was a lot of fun and we are both excited for the next event.

My already amazing family has been blessed with a new baby boy!! The minute I recieved the call from my sister in California with her wonderful news that she and her Husband, Ernie, now have a new baby boy I was online with Southwest airlines booking my flight!! I wanted to surprise everyone there and I did!! It was awesome!! I haven’t been back to see my family in almost 5 years so it was quite a treat, a short one, but a treat none the less. 

And now onto Jackson.  WOW what a blessing.  He is so sweet and just full of personality!! And at just a few weeks old, he is the perfect model!! I didn’t have to hear one time…..”Aunt Pam no more pictures!!”  He just did exactly what I wanted him to and I took the shot!! Of course he managed to input his own personality into each shot with his fantastic facial expressions!!

I can not wait until my next visit with him!! I am trying my best to get my Sister and her Husband out here to visit me and the kids!! I just know they would have a blast out here with all we have to show them!!

We should have more shots soon.  Travis has just been so overwhelmed with design and web work that we haven’t had much time for anything else.  He has been able to get out to the track a few times to see his Sister and Nephew.  His Nephew Robbie is a great lil racer and has a blast!! I know Travis sure was glas to hear that they were racing close to the house so he could get out there and shoot him.  Jump on over to Travis’ flickr and check out all of his pics of the races and Robbie. 

Well take care everyone and Happy shooting!!
