Michele gave me the Wii Guitar Hero for Christmas. I can’t believe how much fun a fake guitar can be. We have both played it for hours. At the moment she is further in the “career mode” area than I am. She has beaten Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Last night she beat Slash and unlocked a Guns N Roses song. Both of us are still playing the easy mode that incorporates three buttons. Those last two buttons are beyond our expertise. I’m so happy we have this at home. Now we don’t have to play the germ infested ones in Best Buy. Thanks Michele!

is moving to California this week. She’s a photographer who graduated the same school as me. She was nice enough to model a series of what I hope to be images for a banking website. We took a few more pics of her to add to her model portfolio. Good luck Jess.

I shot this for Mike and Holly for Christmas. This is one of the outtakes from their Christmas card session. Mike is a manager for Resort Realty in the Outer Banks while his wife Holly is a wedding coordinator at Mallards Marsh. They have been married one year.
