    Encouragement

    A lot of it this weekend and more a few seconds ago after reading this (you may need to login to Facebook and add brian as friend lol) note. People from the likes of Jeremiah Aja (From Wilmore,With Love, Sarah Spezia (News from the Coast), and more... Celeste, Brian, Buck, Adam and Liza all of whom I was graced by their presence this weekend.

    Friday I was able to stop by, the mid-year Sky-Mountain UBER-Nighter and just be completely immersed in the joy of seeing true fellowship among the area Wesleyan Churches. Like Chad Kelley said, "I've been praying for this for years!" It was amazing to see over 250 students come out to an all nighter from all over Nor. CA to come hang out and unite! Jeremiah (Speaker at Camp 2009!) layed out a message of love for anyone to embrace. Truly a gifted speaker who has such a deep passion for Jesus, it seeps from his core and out into any interaction. It's funny because I haven't seen Jeremiah in over 2 years and through blogging and facebook it feels like were just catching up for the past week. Thank you for your encouragement in my hermit experiment. Adam Cappa came all the way out from Indiana to invite all into a personal area of worship with Jesus. It was so nice to see all of the familiar faces.

    I was really caught off-guard when a lady I hadn't seen in a few months and I had been catching up and suddenly she says " I really feel like we should pray for these kids right now." I love when Jesus challenges us to be spontaneous in our faith. So we prayed. What an experience.

    With the books, work and photography piling up, nights like these are a true escape for me. I'm grateful for each and every interaction I had that night. Sarah and I were able to discuss the aches and pains of adjusting to the college life on her end and the community college life here. It's so refreshing to bounce thoughts and feelings around and get a real time response : D.

    Sunday I was even more blessed to attend arcade and here Jeremiah lay out yet another message of the greatest Love ever known. A radical who changed the face of humanity forever. Jesus Christ.

    Just this night, I felt completely overwhelmed with this Marketing class and all the work it entails, but Christ is faithful. He is here with me, pushing me forward, whispering "press on..." "keep going..." through various friends and notes. Thank you Jesus.

    I Promised....

    updates. I know I know I've been lagging. The blur of LA, School, work, and the 2008 Nugget BAGOFF have kept me quite busy, but things are returning to normal. This post is all about this guy.

    Andrew and I went out the other night and chilled. I decided to mess around with a blur technique I first read about over at CPF.






    You all didn't know his V4 C240 could go that fast eh?

    We then headed to the local bowl and decided to try painting with my Sb-25s. Check it out.


    test shots....


    getting there...


    close....


    were there.


    oh yeah...

    For the fist two I just had Drew carve around the bowl, while I popped off flashes over a 30s time period. Kind of a rad effect. I then thought I'd try and stop some motion. So we kind of setup a routine of tricks and as you can see in the frame I ran around the deck of the bowl trying to stop light him up. I actually ended up slipping and falling down into the transition because I was running around like a kid in a toy store. For the final two we had a solid routine and it was just a matter of making it in the 30s. Enjoy.

    So this is my "night out" lol. Sorry for the delay all, I've been so wrapped up in my responsibilities and work. I've really felt the challenge of keeping close to Jesus through prayer and study. Please pray for me in this area and time management. BIG THANKS TO KATIE KINNEY FOR AN AWESOME WEEKEND IN L.A.!!!!
