So, during my winter holiday I was able to visit a certain someone’s family… Yes. Meet the Parents. It wasn’t bad. They were (thankfully) really nice to me. Anyway, we also had the opportunity to go to White Sands National Park in New Mexico… here are my faves:
I have a new website!! Same name… deborahshelor.com, just new face… I can’t wait to unveil the new site!
Unto us a child is born…
Merry Christmas Y’all!
i feel all techie! i’m totally not. wordpress just tricked me into feeling like this with their user-friendly blogging dashboard. (at least i know!) anyway, i’m STOKED because i just figured out how to add an RSS feed!!! yeay! that means that instead of checking out my blog everyday (you know who you are) the RSS feed will tell you when I’ve updated! AWESOME. So, if you do not have an RSS feeder, you can get one from google.com/reader, bloglines.com, or newsgator.com and rejoice because of your new little trick!
p.s. yes i am aware that some of you have known how to use RSS for what years… that just means you are so much cooler than i am.
I finally caved and joined…… yes, you can now find me on twitter
I met Ashely this past Saturday morning while a few of my friends, Frank, and I were volunteering at the World Vision Storehouse up in the Bronx. I like never go up there… (you just take the 6 train all the way up). Then you get off and you are like where the heck am I? There are no numbered streets, no numbered avenues, no points of reference, nothing. And it was completely overcast so I couldn’t even tell where the sun was! (All the tricks I use to figure out where I am in Manhattan.) Luckily someone had directions…
Anyway, I actually had a wonderful time just sorting boxes. Okay sorting boxes of clothes wasn’t that glamorous, but I LOVE volunteering and working for something bigger than myself. Making a difference is so fulfilling. Random retail clothing stores had donated tons and tons of clothing, which we were sorting and sending out to various shelters, etc. We spent the day sorting, labeling, and packing the clothing, which in now ready to be shipped in people in need. I also had the best coffee of my life. Anyway, the point of this post is that Ashley works at Operation Exodus, a program for low-income inner-city children, and she asked me if I would like to volunteer to teach a photography class! So, next Friday, I will be heading back out of my little 20 block comfort radius of Columbus Circle to teach some inner-city high schoolers about photography!!!

So today I spent a little more than $5.75 at the Photo Expo, but I got two Pocket Wizards and a new soft box! Yeay!!!
Today was the first day of the Photo Expo. Yes, I feel stupid. It is really great to be in the presence of all of the huge names and to realize that you are not as good as you think you are (haha but it is true) a good dose of humility never hurt anyone. It was also wonderful to see Gary Kirksey (one of my favorite professors from OU) and some other fellow alumnus. Amidst all of the insanity of the day, people running around, demonstrations overlapping, mounds of literature, and almost complete chaos, i managed to meet up with the other OU kids downstairs in the food court where much to my dismay, I found myself shelling out $5.75 for a Snapple and a banana. I think my brain was shot from all the excitement. And I’m going back tomorrow.
