The Rejected Christmas Pictures...

Ugh. Taking pictures of these two together is no easy feat. Here are the rejects from the Christmas card session. Mainly due to colour issues, and expression issues, lol.

Nice smile Danny, but you've gotta open your eyes!

I like this shot, but don't like the colour and the reflection in his glasses.

Again with the colour. And I thought I cropped this, but I guess I didn't.

What sort of expression is this, exactly?

You better not pout...

The boys together...

I did manage to get a few to put a card together, and they are finally ordered. They better be decent when I get them, or I am out of options. I am so. freakin'. tired. of photoshop. I had the brilliant idea of designing a label as a gift, and it was a nightmare. It's done now, and doesn't look too bad, but it was a ton of work, and it took a ton of ink to print them out. All this work and thought I've been putting into gifts and cards is sucking the Christmas spirit right out of me. Oh well, the sooner things are done, the sooner I can relax and enjoy the season.

Viva Las Vegas!

Wow, that was fun. Too much drinking, and not the most relaxing place for a vacation, but I had a blast. We spent a ton of time at the APEX/SEMA show so I didn't get to take a lot of pictures, and most of the ones I did take turned out like crap. I didn't want to hold up everybody by taking pictures every 30 seconds. Oh well, it gives me a reason to go back. Not to mention the cool $65 I won on the black jack table. You know, cuz I'm a high roller like that.

Anyhoo, here's some visuals...

Venetian

This is where we stayed, all those flashing lights at the end of the hallway make up the casino where I had my big win. This picture comes no where near to how beautiful and intricate everything is. I can't even fathom the amount of money they put into everything in Vegas. It's crazy.

Miss Liberty

Congrats on your new President my American friends!!

SEMA

This is one of the few pictures I got while "working".

Smiling Stingray

Say cheese Mr. Stingray!!!

Treasure Island

The infamous Vegas strip.

Freaky Blue Man

AAAAAAAAH! Blue Man!! What is that, latex? Doesn't it get awful warm under that?
