Day 304: Halloween

Im sure you guys were expecting something cool for today... but sorry. I didnt have much time to shooting something since I was busy shooting for the paper. Sorry!

Day 303: UTPA Volleyball

First time covering UTPA volleyball since Ive been here in the Valley. It wasnt that bad. They arent as good as some schools that I have shot, but it sure is better than high school.

Day 302: PSJA Memorial

PSJA Memorial High School lost their first game tonight against Edinburg High School. One thing I am noticing about my camera is how it seems to focus on one side better than having both sides focused. I wonder if thats normal or its from dropping my camera on the floor a few times.

Day 301: Dance

So last night... past 12am... I went out with some friends to downtown McAllen. I actually had fun for the reason that there werent many people in the bars or on the streets. Anyhoo before people start going crazy about the this photo... this is not at a strip club. This is at a bar called the Dirty Bottle located on 17th street. You have women dancing on a poll without taking there clothes off. Anyhoo Ive been at this bar a few times and this a great place to get creative and take photos. I had a fun night... the best part is... I found Thirsty Monkeys and I will be joining them again woo hah.

Day 300: Witch

I went looking for houses decorated with Halloween decorations. I found this witch hanging outside one of the houses and it freaked me out... It must be the eyes. SCCAARRRY!!!

In other news... Today is day 300... that means there are only 65 days left in the year. So far I havent missed a day. Ive had some stressful days with this project and almost lost my camera... but im still going strong.

Day 299: Blue

So I went to the mechanic to get Amber fixed. I ran into Blue who I think is the mechanics guard dog.

Day 298: Bubbles

Bubbles... It was a slow day. I actually rearranged my apartment today and it looks awesome.

Day 297: Kite Surfing

Spent the day at the beach. The water was perfect, the weather was perfect, the food was perfect.

Day 296: Tomatoes Tomatoes

I shot a farmers market today. It was pretty interesting. I wish I could buy more food and actually use it. They need to add recipes too so I can get one and buy the veggies and and make dinner. I also met a cute lady today here. Shes still in school and trying to be a dietitian. Thats pretty cool right? Anyhoo, I got a pedometer from her... but no number hah... story of my life. Ill just have to go buy some food next month.

Day 295:

I dont really like ice cream... but I was craving it today so I got myself a scoop of cookies and cream.

Day 294: Plane

I only shot this photo because of the things I get to see as a photographer. This is are parts of a plane that crashed into the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle 40 years ago. Its an interesting story if you ever want to google it and read about it. This parts are located inside a gated area. I was able to get someone to open the gates so I can take a photo of it.

Day 293: Pumpkin

I dont know how many more Halloween shots I will have... Luckily Halloween is in 11 days.

Day 292: Scorpion

I know this is boring... I didnt know what to shoot today... Actually I had a cool shot and I forgot to pull out this camera. UGH! Anyhoo have you ever been stung by a scorpion? I have and it sucked... no worries it wasnt a poison one... I got stung while I was ready to shower back in El Paso... about eight years ago. Anyhoo here is my photo.

Day 291: Press Conference

Waited three hours outside the FBI building with media folks for Tiffany Young-Hartley. Here is the 411 in case you havent been watching the news lately. Hartley and her husband went to Falcon Lake located in Zapata County to go jet skiing for the day. Mexican pirates attacked the couple. Her husband was shot in the head and she was able to escape. Mexican and American government officials cant seem to find the body and many people think her story does not make sense. I personally dont know whats going, but somethings just dont make sense in my eyes. I feel like pieces of the puzzle are missing. I just heard a new rumor today and for some reason it makes sense, but who knows. So thats the story as of today.

Day 290: Veins

I was walking into the office and noticed this leaf all chewed up by some insect. I think this just looks awesome. I ended up taking the leaf and going to try to brush the leaf on paper to trace it. Maybe a gift? who knows?

Day 289: Dia De Los Muertos

Dia De Los Muertos. More hockey tonight.

Day 288: Birds View

Here is a view from my first remote camera which I set up on the catwalk of the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo. I was able to get three good photos from this view. Its a cool view. Something different. Plus Im able to do this again if I need to... ahem... job offer... ahem AP... ahem Getty... Ahem SI... Anyhoo You can see some of my photos from the Killer Bees and this birds eye view at the end of the month with other cool shots on my other blog. *Look and click on the right where it says OTHER BLOG*

Day 287: Thursday Night Lights

Shot football tonight. It was an upset and I was actually kind of bored by mid-second quarter. I just love the sky on this photo.

Day 286: Choose

So many to choose from... I actually chose Sour Patch Kids hah. So this wasnt supposed to be my photo of the day. It was actually a band I shot earlier for Festiva, which is our features magazine. I actually had a good photo using model lights, but I noticed one of them was blinking. Grrrr the other photos were blurry and I wasnt able to use. Of course the photo I want has someone blinking. Hopefully I can shoot another band before the year is over. Will see. The photos of the band came out good... You can view them on my other photo blog at the end of the month or Festiva... What ever comes first.

Day 285: Dinner for Two

Had a late dinner at Subway tonight and it was yummy. The only people at the time was this couple. Cute huh? hah

Day 284: Smile

Lazy day today.. Dont really care for Halloween. I dont think I have plans this year and actually I was hoping to be in the east coast during this time, but I wont be there. Im thinking of making this my profile photo on my facebook.

Day 283: The Social Network

My friend was telling me this photo reminded her of Red Rum haha. The movie was awesome!!! Reminded me of my college days. Of course East coast colleges are better... I think. The history and their people... its pretty awesome.

Day 277: Hockey

Spent the morning today covering the RGV Killer Bees. I think Im getting better at covering hockey. Every year I come back with some pretty good photos and I understand it a little more. We'll see how this season turns out. I kind of like the sport.

Day 276: Father Hugo Van den Bussche
