Event: Paws & Claws Adopt-a-thon 2013

in , , ,

This past weekend several area shelters joined forces to find some awesome dogs and cats forever homes. The event, headed up by the Friends of League City Animal Shelter organization, took place at the League City Civic Center from 10AM - 3PM and was a glorious success! There were 79 adoptions during this event and that is just plain AMAZING! 

Below are the photos I took of the event as well as well as links to my galleries on my social media pages.

My 2012 Retrospective

in ,

2012 was a very good year for me. Below are some of the things that happened in my life during the year.

January

At the most welcomed urging of a friend, I started doing a Boot Camp class at 24 Hr Fitness and have, for the most part, kept a regular schedule of fitness classes (Boot camp, Body Pump, Spinning, NCC, etc) all year long.

March

A series of my photos were selected by Jomar Visions to be on display during the Houston FotoFest.

A friend and I attended a very rainy and fun SXSW Photo Walk in Austin.

April

One of my photos was selected to hang in the Forsyth Gallery at Texas A&M in College Station from 4/21 - 8/19.

September

I took a really fun trip to New Orleans with friends.

November

My friend and awesome photographic artist, Jeff Narron, won Top Houston RAW Photographer in the RAW 2012 Indie Art Awards. Then just a short two days later both Jeff and my friend (and photographer) Katherine Domsky were showcased at Jomar Visions for the 2012 Houston Art Crawl.

A group of friends and I participated in the Houston Color Run.

Whew! Busy year.  Can't wait to see what 2013 brings!

2012 Houston Color Run

in

Some friends and I participated in the Houston Color Run 5k a couple of weekends ago and what an experience it was. Our team was named Full Spectrum and we got to wear funny socks and sunglasses. It was a blast and I definitely want to do it in years to come.

Below is a video from the Philadelphia run as well as a few photos I took before/during/after the event --

It has been a busy few days for Houston area art. First, was the RAW 2012 Indie Art Awards event at Numbers in which my good friend and talented photographic artist Jeff Narron actually won the honor of Houston RAW Photographer of the Year. Then came Art Crawl 2012 where the work of  both Jeff Narron and Katherine Domsky (another good friend and photographer) were showcased at Jomar Visions..and Jeff won 3rd place in the Juried Competition. I am very proud of my friends! Now to the links.
