It will go along with our new site, still in the works, at <a href="http://www.chrisandleighanna.com">chrisandleighanna.com</a>. We figure with both of us talking about design, photography and whatever else strikes our fancy, we might be able to keep it current! Let me know what you think of the new design.<br /><br />Chris has been in NYC all week, attending the <a href="http://www.sahrevictorewilker.com/">SahreVictoreWilker Workshop</a> at the Art Director's Club. Apparently, he has been bitten by the NY bug and is talking about possibly going there one day to live...wow. I used to never think I could get to a place like this but once I started changing my thoughts and expectations, it started happening. Anyways, he is learning lots plus getting to hang out with some really awesome folks.<br /><br />I am headed out tomorrow to Johnson City, TN to photograph the Tyson family. They are some friends of ours that I have not seen in years, since they moved. I'll post a few pics here soon! After that, I am driving to Nashville to shoot for <a href="http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/">LifeWay</a>! I am pretty thrilled about this and very thankful. It should be a really fun shoot to promote their <a href="http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/article_main_page/0%2C1703%2CA%25253D159306%252526M%25253D200834%2C00.html">Children's Music Series</a> theme for next year.<br /><br />Yeah, and in case you have not heard, Chris will be graduating in October! We are planning a trip to NYC for the photoexpo and his portfolio show that month. Keep your fingers crossed that an incredible opportunity will present itself to him soon!!! I will be leaving PC as well, and keep shooting and assisting...big changes ahead, it could get really exciting!Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-72414449979986466702009-05-15T07:52:00.001-07:002009-05-15T08:04:38.113-07:00where am I going?Gosh, isn't that the million dollar question that we all ask ourselves? I have not been taking photos long enough to figure that one out yet...I have not found my "style" yet. But...I have found a person whose work I absolutely love...and I even have a bit in common with him. <a href="http://www.art-dept.com/artists/roy/">Norman Jean Roy </a>Apparently he studied graphic design before finding photography...he lived in Nashville while starting his career (anyone know him by chance?) and he is only a few years older than me. I think his work is amazing and would love to be able to shoot like this. I guess me and a few thousand others... ;-)Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-91192915568134328712009-05-15T07:50:00.000-07:002009-05-15T07:52:06.175-07:00Check out the article on PC...<a href="http://www.designtaxi.com/news.jsp?id=27016&monthview=0&month=5&year=2009">Taxi </a><br /><br />If you look closely, the last ad on the page, with the girl holding the mirror...that's my shot!Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-79340167355379938722009-05-04T21:47:00.001-07:002009-05-04T21:49:06.759-07:00published again!<a href="http://gettotallyrad.com/recipes/">http://gettotallyrad.com/recipes/</a><br />Check out my pier image from Belize on the front page!<br />WOOO HOOO!Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-16588987721780456782009-05-01T14:48:00.000-07:002009-05-01T14:55:42.356-07:002nd quarter finalsI kind of forgot to update this for a while....school is kicking my butt this quarter!!<br />Here are some final shots that I turned in from last quarter...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7-o7DW9frpgnDMbA5VJAFxilyqciVY1Q1uaPEE6qKC5uABq_BH5JOjgXyXz8G7eL6aw3dt-Dpw8ShxnAiLAq58SjERA89_EPoGLdD9ydr5IQ40_KUEUGIksthhzXi2HGDW1J1sFMBXo/s1600-h/train.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It is really hard to do the same thing and not argue about it. Now that I am doing something different, it seems to be going a little bit easier. Last quarter, he had to make a poster about homosexuality and signs. He decided to do a poster on the moral issues between gays and Christians. Turns out, he had a great concept that I shot and photoshopped together for him. We have heard a lot of good response from this but last week, we were shocked to find out we had both won a gold award at school and together we won Best in Show for the quarter! It sure does feel great...and I am sure glad to have someone so special to share it with.

Sorry about that.<br />Finished my first quarter and went on the trip...we lived out of the car basically for three weeks, it was really good to get home! As soon as we got home, 2nd quarter began. It has been going good...but much different than last quarter. I have a still life class and an art photography class, along with another illustration class and advanced photoshop and printing. I feel less challenged this quarter but that's ok, I know it will hit soon enough.<br />Here are my final pieces from last quarter. I got a 9.6 out of 10 overall (and that would have been higher if I had not gotten a 8.6 on my flash work!) One of the professional photographers even gave me a perfect 10. I was pretty stoked!<br /><br />Sunrise/Sunset<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKM2Ba2nEDHV3S76-EfYSigSnbSVBnLLkfCuU3TW2u2j185ALu4t3TrRaEmwdXjhhnF760wg7so5EKk-Mye8GNP0K1c21aY-3F9waNiD2xWiV2IWQhBDwdKebGQbojkag16cU7_R_DpFM/s1600-h/homepage.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Chris is in a content branding class and his group has chosen to design an Apple sponsored high school. I won't get into details but we are getting to interview some great people, <a href="http://www.k12.dc.us/chancellor.htm">Michelle Rhee</a>, <a href="http://www.jamesvictore.com/">James Victore</a>, and a professor at MIT that I cannot remember his name. So Chris, John and I are headed up to DC today for the weekend. We are staying with friends and get to do some sightseeing....exciting! Chris has never been so it should be lots of fun. On Monday, we are driving to NYC for 2 days then on to Boston! YAY! This will be our first time staying in NYC....wish us luck! We are pretty excited to be able to do this...next year Chris will be working and trips like this won't be able to happen as often. I cannot believe it is almost Christmas of 2008....where does time go?Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-62547175493220561532008-12-09T11:04:00.000-08:002008-12-09T11:07:44.250-08:00HELP ME!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6knlF2dAVP_fxlKHCgo3a7kBuw0S052Gd6pP7c8lHoabmPJ1H-v3V6Ti4jjbK5OG3lCk0E_P135hFVi7gotJAp6Ct2nztYD_TsifwjYGLKgSWG4zkJ7E_PWvqFcpumMOsrD2GOwiYzlg/s1600-h/DSC_7961-final.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6knlF2dAVP_fxlKHCgo3a7kBuw0S052Gd6pP7c8lHoabmPJ1H-v3V6Ti4jjbK5OG3lCk0E_P135hFVi7gotJAp6Ct2nztYD_TsifwjYGLKgSWG4zkJ7E_PWvqFcpumMOsrD2GOwiYzlg/s400/DSC_7961-final.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277868864983276482" border="0" /></a><br />I need your votes please!

I am really excited and feel pretty good about my work this quarter. I have been pretty lax on writing, it has been a busy few weeks.<br /><br />My first quarter at Portfolio Center has been amazing. I really feel like I am on the right path and in the right place. Just the people I have had the opportunity to meet this quarter has floored me.<br />1. <a href="http://www.gregoryheisler.com/">Gregory Heisler</a>: An amazing portrait photographer...he has shot over 70 Time covers alone. Look at his work, people like Bono, Bill Gates, Bruce Springsteen, and the list goes on and on....amazing to get to hear him speak.<br /><br />2. <a href="http://www.joycetenneson.com/">Joyce Tenneson</a>: Another amazing talent. Her work is so dreamy and soft...She was inspiring, she did not start doing photography full time until she was 40. At one point in her career, she was making more a day than some people do in a year. That's incredible.<br /><br />3. <a href="http://www.harrybenson.com/">Harry Benson</a>: My personal fave. Can I tell you that I loved this guy? I have a sweet spot for old sweet men, I just want to hug them. He was extremely huggable! Jerry and I picked him up from the airport and took him to lunch. We got to pick his brain and he was so open and friendly about it all. He told us about shooting the Beatles, former presidents, MLK, Ashton and Demi, and many others. What a great guy who has been at the forefront of history and has been able to record it for generations to come. He was even in the room when Robert f. Kennedy was murdered. Wow. Amazing stuff.<br /><br />4. <a href="http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php">Steve McCurry</a>: Recognize the shot below? Sure you do...National Geographic, in the 80s. We got to go meet with Mr. McCurry on Monday and listen to him talk about his career and ask him anything we wanted. What a treat.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPlIYustYuEzZeary7GLF0Acom0kY6YKpMFkm2cX4bsbd5bQN-FxzsZIqDWnJBHR7NpGtZsdDNDP7-YDd02Q7gKrs0MCwFnl6csJIhvViUzp7UdxQlmwTjzSolXzbO2xVmca7EBioN23k/s1600-h/448a0e5a1422f_s.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPlIYustYuEzZeary7GLF0Acom0kY6YKpMFkm2cX4bsbd5bQN-FxzsZIqDWnJBHR7NpGtZsdDNDP7-YDd02Q7gKrs0MCwFnl6csJIhvViUzp7UdxQlmwTjzSolXzbO2xVmca7EBioN23k/s400/448a0e5a1422f_s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275445876208783906" border="0" /></a><br />I just am in awe at the talent that has been put before us.

The first few are my Bob Dylan shots. It was for a project where we had to pick a year and then set up a shot with natural lighting like the Dutch painter, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer">Johannes Vermeer</a>. I had it in my head that I wanted to do the 1960's and I wanted to do a musician, like Bob Dylan. I was at the Botanical Gardens and lo and behold, this guy walked right in front of me and I had to stop him and ask.

Paint 27 dogs with acrylic and a brush, without sketching or planning them out. I have never painted before...but about halfway through, I kind of got into it. I started noticing a style that I was good at and kept going with it. I had a blast, although it did take me about 8 hours. I was not expecting any kind of praise, etc from anyone...I thought mine were just average but everyone freaked out. The teacher called me the "goddess" during class (that was embarrassing!) and she took my dogs and wouldn't let me have them back. I went into school the other day and there they were, right in the front hallway!!!! OMG! I never expected that, especially first quarter! And especially not with paintings!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0JxR9XURB2FP-qv-vrgKu4eR0YN8n7O0QdCofJc_qFpwNoxOz-S4VuJt6WJmZBH4pXESJ5i4ldH_hwMRJVnoQIOZZ0TDNtTqncLhuI7UNfwL9-0T8ae-rP2sEZRJkpEvpB1eynmd0WM/s1600-h/IMG_2853.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0JxR9XURB2FP-qv-vrgKu4eR0YN8n7O0QdCofJc_qFpwNoxOz-S4VuJt6WJmZBH4pXESJ5i4ldH_hwMRJVnoQIOZZ0TDNtTqncLhuI7UNfwL9-0T8ae-rP2sEZRJkpEvpB1eynmd0WM/s400/IMG_2853.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261109850138912338" border="0" /></a>This illustration class is really good for me. When I went to school at UTC, I wanted to be in the art department so bad but I just thought I was terrible at drawing and therefore I shouldn't even think about it. I took an art history class and I remember being so jealous of all the people in that building that got to study it all the time. I think if I had gotten into it back then, I would have never dropped out of school. This teacher, Lindy, is amazing. She makes you feel so good about your stuff, even when you don't think it is good. She sees the artistic value in everything. I wish I had met her years ago! I think I am learning that it is best to always follow your dreams no matter how good you think you are. Everyone is talented, some people just take more coaching than others.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHRAiDn2dTyC2DsIHa8D_KOdHbJZEhnFQy-E9dhOyrkIuo6XfRWlXsOBGdB4QuYV1Mfzl2bHXW2ssxFV0s8XQON4rxzRYX2JcI1in3hBdMM5oVr5oqk0N9-YJipR4YtNsH8GllaansXg/s1600-h/IMG_2854.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHRAiDn2dTyC2DsIHa8D_KOdHbJZEhnFQy-E9dhOyrkIuo6XfRWlXsOBGdB4QuYV1Mfzl2bHXW2ssxFV0s8XQON4rxzRYX2JcI1in3hBdMM5oVr5oqk0N9-YJipR4YtNsH8GllaansXg/s400/IMG_2854.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261109858116939490" border="0" /></a>I definitely think I am in the right place finally.

Sometimes it feels like it but most of the time it doesn't. Nine years ago today Chris and I said "I do". I am so thankful that I have him by my side...even when the going gets rough. I look at marriage as a choice. Things are not always perfect but who promised perfection? I knew that going into it and I know that no matter if I am with Chris or anyone else...there will always be tough times. I think going through life with him by my side is MUCH better than being without him...We are good together and I am so glad and thankful for that.<br />Don't we look like babies???

I have been waiting for this for a long time but boy, I don't think I was quite prepared. I am taking four classes plus seminar...Natural Lighting, Illustration for Photographers, Flash 1, & Basic Photography. So far, everything has been great, but the natural lighting class is kicking my butt! We have to be up shooting every morning at sunrise and again at sunset. 7 days a week. Oh my gosh. I did not know how hard that would be! I am so tired and my brain has been going a mile a minute, proceeding to wake me up every morning at 3am on overdrive. I am a little sad to lose my sleep...it was so nice! Seriously, it is every single day from now until the end of the quarter...without a single day off. Wow.<br /><br />Besides school, Chris and I have had a lot of freelance lately which is a super good thing, but it does add to the stress level around the house.<br /><br />Here are some links to the stuff I have had to turn in the past few days, check it out. They are not masterpieces by any mean but I am slowly getting better!<br /><a href="http://www.portfoliocenter.net/%7Ele_thomp/080930">Day 1</a><a href="http://www.portfoliocenter.net/%7Ele_thomp/081001"><br />Day 2</a><br /><a href="http://www.portfoliocenter.net/%7Ele_thomp/081002">Day 3</a>Leigh Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328512873911987615noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180084474388955340.post-63360870263748280012008-09-06T17:59:00.000-07:002008-09-06T18:02:29.317-07:00Not the job for meSo, I was on craigslist today and ran across this ad...check it out:<br />-----------------------------------------<br /><div id="userbody"> Producers of the cable television show Worlds Deadliest Catch are conducting a nationwide search for 3 people to be filmed falling from a ship and into the North Sea while we attempt to rescue you.
