New Things Going On...

Hello everybody...

Well, as always, we have been very busy lately. I want to get back to doing blog entries every couple of days, instead of every week or two...

Good news first!
We set a new record Monday with 150 customers in one day! Woo Hoo!
Our previous high was 145...

We had our second highest weekly sales last week, and we are on pace this week to break our current standing record.

The rental house is coming along, and I should be finished with it in a couple of weeks. We have already shown it to several interested buyers and we hope to nail down a quick sale.

I have scheduled over 14 photography events over the next six weeks or so...
Here is a rundown of some of them:

Colorado Springs Christian Photography Guild - 2 meetings in August
Professional Photography Seminar/Workshop - 5 events in September and October
My Photography Group: Still Life photo contest August 22, Hot Air Balloon Classic Photo Contest September 13, Avatar Photo Shoot August 14, Colorado Springs Free Your Mind Suicide Prevention event August 18, American Diabetes Association event photography at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on October 6. I also have coordinated an action photo shoot of Dave Leland, who is a world class competitive cyclist. He is currently training for a world record attempt for the one hour speed record (velodrome). He is going to ride while we pace him in a vehicle and take really cool photos of him in action. I also have some model shoots coming up, and a couple of senior portrait sessions...

My brother Aubrey and his wife Steffi just had their second child this week! Her name is Kaydence and both her and Steffi are doing great! Aubrey is in Iraq and was not able to be present. Please pray for Aubrey's safety, and for Steffi as she goes home with a newborn and toddler (Braeden) without Aubrey's help and support. While you are at it, please pray for all of our troops, and for their families carrying on at home...

Well, Michelle, our employee who was working with me tonight, just went home sick! I have 20 photographers showing up here in less than an hour for a photo shoot in my studio. Yikes!! Gotta run...
