What Happened!

Yeah...the Buccanners Tanked...this is probably worse than their inaugural season in which they went 0-14...by the way, thanks Lions - 0-16....this should be the last mention of the Bucs inaugural season....

Regardless, they blew it...they were 9-3 a month ago...just behind the Giants...you know...Bucs fan were thinking...hmmm....we're playoff bound...win a few games and play the Super Bowl at home...that's right, the Super Bowl is in Tampa...but the Bucs won't have a chance to try the improbable....it will remain improbable...BECAUSE they lost the last 4 games of the season!!!

Ouch...they suck...see, this is why a couple of seasons ago I stopped caring...I used to care a lot...I went to 3 games at Soldier Field....yeah, I saw the Bucs play Chicago 3 times in CHICAGO...I wore my Bucs stuff....even cheered them on when they beat the Bears and won the division (the old skool division)....but then I stopped caring the season after the Super Bowl.

Those guys won the big game...did the improbable of that time...then the following year...started off ok...lost a tough one vs. the Panthers b/c they blocked like 10 field goals....then they blew a 24 point lead against the Colts...blew that big, enormous lead with 6 minutes left in the game...and then they just fell apart...didn't even make the playoffs....yup, the Bucs were the first to do something again...the first team to win a Super Bowl and then fail to make the playoffs the following year....

I got interested a little when Chris Simms took over at QB and got them in the playoffs...but that didn't last long...and then the following season they had like a 100 QBs...so that was a crappy season....and then last year, they some how managed to make playoffs with a 9-7 record...but again they figured a way to lose.....

See, it's way too much stress...all this up and down stuff....this is why I stopped caring...but this year I started caring again...I don't know...I think I need to switch teams...at least for this year...I know, that's selling out...and I grew-up in Tampa, but Miami is in Florida???

Go Dolphins...plus, I'm like the only person on Earth who likes Ricky Williams and would defend him in any argument about his early retirement!  Fins Rule...

Going out of my mind!

The Marley vibes down below are keeping me sane...

The last week has been pretty rough...especially the last two days...

I have washed so many dishes and I think it's a world record!  I need to start using the dishwasher but I feel like I need to revolt against some forms of technology....but I'm thinking that dishwasher will be more economical....and a timesaver....???

I haven't shot in a while (a week or so)...it's the season...but it's what I love to do...it beats washing dishes!

Also, I have cooked so much...it's annoying...back when I was in high school, after a short stint with a hotdog stand, I decided I would never work in the food industry...well between cooking 3 meals a day and washing dishes, I might as well open up for business!

Well, because of my insane boredom and being cooped up in the house...serving and serving and more serving, I revisited some old photos that I originally took and never had time to do anything with them....so I present them here....hidden....but now revealed because of extreme boredom and a serious desire/passion to do what I love - photography...and post processing!

Enjoy...call me for a shoot...I'm bored!

Early morning from my deck...love this...will miss this when/if we move...

Last years b-day present...thanks cousin Julian...this was my favorite b-day present ever...too bad the Bucs lost...hopefully they win tomorrow!

shhh...and excursion from work (lunch break!)...a while ago....experimenting with filters!

A carnival...next to the mall....good practice for me....messing with long exposures and tripods...

All these shots were taken in 2007...when I first was getting started....???

Hey mister music...sure sounds good to me....

Ha!  Yeah...I hope you dig the vibes...some original Bob Marley stuff....the music he made before he got any $$$....if you don't like it....sorry for you....regardless, scroll way to the bottom and press pause on the old skool boom box...

Wow...all time low...doesn't every photographer do this...especially on  flickr!

I really need to learn how to photoshop my baldness...

Anyway...I'm up super late working on my new website...this website is going to pretty sick......the web address will remain the same...and I'm going to keep the old website, but change it's address either to freewisefoto.com or freewisefotos.com???  Probably the first one....

Well, gotta sleep a little...need to play with daughter tomorrow...she got this big eco-friendly house...I mean house....she can stand in it....I mean she doesn't even a have a room anymore...it's a house....

Keeping Busy...

It's the Holiday season...so things have slowed down a bit, but I'm still staying busy...

What have I been up too:

- reading the book, "Selling the Invisible" by Harry Beckwith...very insightful book...I recommend it for anyone starting their own business...I got linked to the book via a very successful photographer, David Jay .....

- creating a totally new website...it's going to be awesome...will probably have it up next month...

- preparing a new blog...it will have 3 bloggers blogging...you'll get to follow our journey to freedom...

- and working on Ron Rodriguez's music video...will post that next month too!
