Congratulations to Miss Ashlee, Blu's intern.
Ashlee graduated from 8th grade yesterday and is headed to high school.
My little gift to her parents was to have NEW photog Charles & Tiffany Brinton snap some photographs of this beautiful child as she was getting ready for her big ceremony.
Last night we all celebrated, met her friends, ate cupcakes and toasted to the future of this little girl. (hence the reason my post is so short)
I say hooray to high school (the best years of my life) www.charlesbrinton.com
"To Give People What They Want" 5 weeks until something NEW. We don't believe in being boring so for the next 5 weeks Blu will do something unique everyday. And that means I will be posting everyday!
Day 32 - Blu is giving 32 people 4 X $1.00 lottery tickets. So each person gets 4 lottery tickets & if you win I get 1/2 (he he) All you have to do is send me an email telling me the photographer that ROCKS. That simple and at the end of the day I randomly select 32 people whose life I could be responsible for changing. Send to [email protected] and you MUST include your mailing address. No address you disqualify
The Gossip
The Project I am going to make a book. I will publish it. Name to be determined. The Project is to archive the people who captured the visual essence of life.
What you will send me: A black and white self portrait & the photograph that captures your style (make sure they both are your favorite because remember it's going to be published) And the most important piece I wil need is this answered: What are the 10 things you hope to attain in your lifetime. (Each one should be one line) This is a question that most of us don't think of. Most of us get caught up in the doldrums of daily life and forget to seek out the larger picture. At some point we have to see the end of the road and recognize what we ultimately want attain in this life. I then hope you will start to cross things off your list!
Send me these things: your first and last name, state you live in, your URL and company name.
Maybe there will be one book maybe 100 and you never know who else will be behind this. Important note- This is your list of what YOU would like to attain.
The response has been overwhelming! This is so exciting. Plus one book will be devoted to the photographers who you see as Mentors.
10 THINGS I HOPE TO ATTAIN IN MY LIFETIME

If I had an ounce of her talent or her heart, I would be the happiest person on Earth.
