Delta Raising Rates on Checking Bags

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:28:39 +0000

Something to consider if you’re coming to Charleston for the wedding. CNN link here.

Again, much more money just to put your bags on the bottom of the plane. Sigh.

Engagement Session

There’s nothing like seeing great photos. It makes it even better when those photos are of yourself. =)

It just so happens our friends at Dreamland Images have hooked us up and have the preview of my fiancee and I’s e-session. Dan and Amelia did such a great job we had to take a moment and show them off.

You can find them at Dreamland Images’s Website.

2009 in review

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:48:58 +0000

Now that we’re a few days removed from National Hangover Day (New Years Day) it’s time to take another moment for a stream of consciousness look back at 2009 at what was and wasn’t in the last year of this decade.

The first comment is, holy crap it’s the end of a decade. For serious? It’s been 10 years+ since I started MalloMan.com? I know I’ll do a proper anniversary edition later, but it’s been absolutely nuts. And to think that it’s been a decade already is also nuts. Maybe cashews, not peanuts. Something more exotic.

It’s been an interesting journey from Columbia, back to Charleston, then around Charleston some more and on to who knows where. Yes, there maybe more moves in the future. Photographic skills and design know-how has landed more than a few opportunities around the Southeast. It’s an exciting time to be someone trying to rebound after the economy. Adaptation is definitely your friend.

So far this year I’ve cranked out several songs (although none used in the final cut of a couple movies). I began recording new material with a new singer. Released the short documentary “Cocky’s Reading Express.” I’ve gotten into the kitchen at some of Charleston best restaurants, which allowed me to rub elbows with Bobby Flay (Side Note: not nearly as tall as I thought he was. Dude is about my height. Nice guy, though.) That also got my work featured in Charleston Magazine, GQ advertisement, and a host of online applications. We’ve been down to watch USC hand Mark Ingram the Heisman this year and got to experience Alabama football. Also met some great photogs with Sport Ilustrated who showed me a couple of sideline tricks that you don’t usually get to see at a South Carolina game.

And much much more from the professional gigs that have been going on. All-in-all not a bad gig.

But 2010, that’s where things start to heat up. There’s that little wedding thing I’m doing with my fiancee soon. Yeah, that’s enough to make what little hair I have be pulled out. (More on the frustration of wedding planning soon. Learned a lot of lessons and want to pass some tips on – this coming from two people who thought we had a good plan starting out.)

After that, who knows. There’s a lot of open road out there and we’ve got the wanderlust going. Maybe we’ll follow some friends down to Australia. Who knows. =)

USC Falls to Alabama 20-6

admin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:52:56 +0000

It was a much closer game than most people thought it would be. It took ‘Bama until the 4th quarter to score and offensive touchdown. It was a cold night, and an even colder reception. Mark Ingram flexed his muscle to lead the Crimson Tide to another victory. I think it’s all but done in the SEC. Florida and Alabama will meet for the SEC Championship. Here’s some pics from the game.

USC vs S.C. State

The first half of this game was much closer than anyone imagined. However, the Gamecocks got their act together in the second half to put the game away. With another loss by Tennessee and Georgia, only powerhouse Florida stands of USC and a trip to the SEC Championship. Here’s some photos from the game.

The Gamecocks pulled out a convincing win. Could have been better, but they’re building a program (which it seems like forever to build).

If you like college sports but hate traditional sports talk radio, tune into Section 26 Saturday morning at 8 a.m. Yours truly will be guest hosting along with James and Steven in the studio to get you ready for all the college football action. (Oh, and I guess we’ll talk about other sports too.)

Pecha Kucha on the Cover of Business Review

admin — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 14:23:23 +0000

I know it’s been a while. It’s been busy around the home office, that the best I can tell ya.

Anyway, a few posts down you may remember Pecha Kucha 3 and the photos I shot there, well they’re being featured this Monday in the Charleston Post and Couier with an article written by the fabulous Allyson Bird. She’s focusing on the group of people in the area that work so hard to put together the whole art movement that we’re trying to start down here.

I’ll try to put a cover shot up when I get a chance.

Cheers!

7 Vices…I unfortunately like…

There’s no arguing this one if you’re a true creative. At one point and time throughout, oh I’d say a week or so, I suffer from all seven. Oh well, at least I can say I enjoy life. Might be a little shorter than most, but at least it’s fun. =)
