So, I’ve been a little m.i.a. here on the blog lately. Well, it feels like it anyway! Lol! Just wanted to give all you blog readers an update in the world of Julie. Eric and I did some more house hunting today. The foreclosure house we bid on a couple of weeks ago fell through and we didn’t get it We were both very disappointed. It really felt like the one! We found some more prospects today but nothing either of us just love. Oh well, we will keep on the hunt!

Saturday I did bridal portraits for Jess, my co-worker. I so wish I could post some sneak peeks on here for you guys to see but you will just have to wait til after the wedding. She was just stunning in her dress though!

Last weekend I went to my first ever Rolling Razorback game. Now, I’m not big on basketball, but let me tell you, those guys are amazing! Truly inspirational. Seriously! Take a look:

Um, look how mean they look. Don’t mess with these dudes!

And, just because I haven’t posted these lil guys in awhile, here are a couple of shots of my babies basking in the sunlight….

Ethics are indeispensable to me. I need a framework to my life, with values I hold dear.
I like honesty in the broades sense: keeping one’s word, acting responsible, being accountable… Simple principles, really pretty basic stuff, but crucial.
In the eigthies particulary, photography was a fairly easy profession, fairly exciting too in so far as getting published was no big deal, and you could earn money from it… Hence the risk of dubious behaviour.
Since I’ve been in this trade, I have tried my best to be honest, to be respectful of those I photograph and I remain true to those I work with. (For instance, I have stayed with the same two publishers for the last twenty five years.)
The trust we build over the years if of tremendous help to me when I start in a new project and need to find associates.
