…symbioticCOLLUSION…

symbioticCOLLUSIONOn Tuesday, May 4th, Otis & James Photography will be presenting live and original music from violinist Sean Neukom and featuring Will Lardinois, cello.

The admission fee for this event is $10 ($5 with a student ID), and is open to all ages. All proceeds will be donated to the Florence Anderson Center for Hope Minot YWCA Shelter. There are no advance ticket sales – all admission will be paid at the door.

At 6:30, we will start a cash bar cocktail hour (must be 21+), and music will begin at 7:30. There will be no admittance to the event after the music begins, so please don’t be late!

Back By Popular Request…Blogs. Lots of Blogs (BBPRBLOB)

OK.  I’ll admit it.  I’ve been slacking on the blog of late.  It’s kind of one of those OCD things, where things get out of control, and then they get even further out of control, and then my brain can not process just how out of control that everything is, and then in some weird state of mind I decide the best thing to do is to ignore the problem, and the irony being that this is only making the process worse, and then when I look again at what stands before me, what had been a small hill is now a gigantic mountain of blog that needs to be done.

So, this is my ‘rock-bottom’, as it would be.  So, the only direction left from here is up.  And up we shall go.  We shall travel to all sorts of places (mostly the FunCenter) and we will meet all sorts of new people on this adventure that we are about to embark upon.  Your minds will be blown by what is about to hit you over the head.

For those of you that may have thought we have just not been all that busy, or we haven’t had that much going on – think again.  You don’t believe me?  Well, you’re about to be proven wrong.  Because there’s – in no particular order – about a bajillion happy pictures that are going to be smacking you up one side of your head and then down another.

Before I get to the farewell part of this post, I would like to extend the most unbelievable MuchLove to each & every person that you are about to see – without you, we are nothing.  I’m just a cook in a crappy restaurant, and Queen James is still a Sandwich Artist at Subway (not that there’s anything wrong with either of those professions, it’s just that the photo-graphy is more fun, and you don’t smell like onions at the end of the day.)

So, sit back, relax, give yourself about an hour of time go go through all of this (and, by the way, this process is probably going to take a little bit of time to get done, so keep on checking back), and be sure to – Enjoy!

Holy Cow…We Almost Forgot To Tell You!

OK.  So check this out.  A few weeks ago we had our annual Senior Open House at the studio!  Again, it was a wonderful event and we had the opportunity to meet all sorts of wonderful people – and we would like to thank each & every person that took time out of their day in order to join us!  As usual, we also had some sweet sweet prizes to give away to those that had the chance to enter into the grand prize drawing!  Now, we actually did notify these lovely peeps right away, but we forgot to tell all of the good peeps of blog who these lucky people were! Well, without any further delay, our Grand Prize Winners this year are…

Yo! Need a Prom Pic For Facebook?

So, what are you waiting for – send those e.mails!

MuchLove!

MHS Supersneakpeek Pictographs!

My peeps.  Check this out.  In just a short while (sometime in the next 24 hours) all of the MHS Prom Pics will be online.  But, because we know you might be waiting, we’re putting up just a little taster of all the awesomeness that went down at our studio this past Saturday!

Now, we know it’s just a taster – but you gotta be patient!  We’re going to have all of the goods online before you know it.  So, sit back, relax a little bit, and be sure to – Enjoy!

Oh. Yeah…Hello There, Friend!

Again, it’s been far too long since we’ve last talked.  But I told you, we’re going to do this more often.  And starting right now.  So, what I’m about to hit you over the head with are a bunch of beautiful supersamplesnaps that have been taken over the past few…well…months.  Yeah.  we have some catch-up to do.  As my third grade teacher Ms. Greene used to say, we’re going to have a ‘ketchup & mustard day.’

Now, I just liked that sound of that because it made me think of hamburgers & hotdogs, both a delicious part of life.  At the time, I didn’t realize that this meant that we had fallen behind in her lesson plan, and we needed to cover some serious ground before we graduated into the fourth grade.  Now, that really has nothing to do with much of anything, other than it was just what popped into my head at this given moment, and any true citizen of blogville will know that most of the words that go up on these digital pages are just what randomly pops into my head.  Well, now that we’ve had that detour into my brain, back to the business at hand.

So, catch-up we will do.  There have been many many people that have passed through the doors of the FunCenter over the last couple of months, and we would like to give them all a huge digital-hug, and a big ol’ mess of MuchLove for giving us some of their sweet and precious time!  Without you, we truly are nothing at all!  Really.  I would be exposed as the dripski that I truly am without each & every one of you backing me up saying, ‘we know you’re a drip, but we still like you!’  So for that, I’m eternally grateful.

So, without any further delay, I invite you to sit back, relax, and get ready to see some visual goodness that is pretty much guaranteed to knock your socks off – again, not because of anything that we’ve done, it’s because each & every one of the good peeps featured in these coming blogs are all so beautiful!  And you, the faithful of blog that have stuck with us through thick and thin – Enjoy!
