4. Write a paragraph about a photographer you admire. Some amazing paragraphs. Clarissa Cooper went above and beyond and wrote this poem about famous photographer Mike Colon. Photographer I Admire: Mike Colon
A new photographer with high aspirations,
Seeking experienced photographers for inspiration
A quick search in Google
Sure, there were oodles
But one stood out as the king
For his images were supreme
From then on I was hooked
Each time on his website I looked
Mike Colon: the kind of wedding photographer I could only dream to be
Is really quite nice and shares his knowledge with me
No, we have not personally spoken
The silence remains unbroken
For on his blog I lurk
Little does he know, I’m a huge fan of his work
He writes of technique and tips from a pro
I try to apply them wherever I go
For an online apprentice, I’m fairly astute
And man, would I die for a Nikon like his to shoot
So for now, I admire from a distance
Without his knowledge of my existence
But one day I might tell him that I appreciate his great talent
And can tell from his talk of family and Christ, that he is truly gallant.
Clarissa wins the new iPod Shuffle by Apple and so does Mike Colon.
5. Construct a pyramid in front of the Christmas Tree. How cute is this family? Congratulations to winner Chris Smith. She wins a Melitta Smart Mill & Brew.
6 Send us your favorite holiday recipe. Congratulations to Tawnya Hood. We had over 400 receipes (maybe we should make a holiday cookbook??) We decided one of the ingredients must be at in our Blu headquarters refrigerator. "Peanut butter was the lucky ingredient" Tawyna wins her choice of one of the two pairs of UGGS from Nordstrom we posted last week.
Puppy Chow:
I package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter (smooth)
∏ (stick) of butter
One package of powdered sugar
One Box of Rice Chex cereal
Melt in a saucepan, the choc. Chips, the peanut butter and the butter.
Place Rice Chex in large glass bowl.
Pour choc. Peanut butter/butter mixture over the Chex.
Stir- but be careful not to break the cereal.
Once they are coated good, pour the bag of powdered sugar into a large paper bag. Add the covered Chex and shake (not your booty, the bag) until all Chex are coated with powdered sugar!
