Elliot Has Many Faces

My Buddies & Me

Two of my great friends, Sam and Matt, have birthdays within 10 days of each other.  What better way to honor them than with a blog post.  This was taken roughly a year ago.  See...iPhones can be used for good!  You be the judge on their level of sobriety (seriously, see poll on right).  Two tell-tale signs are how wide the eyes are (or are not) open and the normality of the facial expressions.  Happy Birthday Fellas!

Motion

Going to school full-time at UT while still working full-time for Apple doesn't leave much time for blogging.  So, rather than preface every post with "I'm a horrible blogger...I'm sooo busy...blah, blah", just know that my posts may be a bit sporadic this semester.  "OMG!!  Why haven't you updated your blog?!?!" questions will be answered with a punch to the face.  "But Ryan, CAPS and multiple exclamation points are AWESOME!!!!"  Keep pushing me, I Triple-Dog Dare Ya.

The above pics are from an assignment on motion for a photography class I'm in.  YEAAA!!!!!

Ms. Rally, meet Mr. Protest.

Sorry for the blog hiatus, but the first of the year has been incredibly busy.  As many of you know, I got into The University of Texas and am going back to school this semester.  I'm currently trying out for The Daily Texan, our student newspaper.  

My first assignment was covering a rally in support of Israel and the Palestinian organization that showed up to protest.  It was pretty intense and there were some very heated exchanges.  It was kind of disheartening to see how much pure hatred there is between the two sides.  I'm pretty sure swastikas aren't appropriate in any setting, but one gentlemen didn't think so.

Trent & Kimmy

Got to take some engagement pics while we were home over the break.  Trent & Kimmy hail from Wheeler, TX and are getting married in April.  Had to sneak down to Timbercreek Canyon to get out of the wind but we still had a great time.
