She is something else! So, I need to get some sleep, because I leave out in a few hours. Pray for us while we endure this week of hard, but awesome work. That Christ can move through us and we can be effective not only in the work produced through photography but that some how some lives can be changed because of love we have for them and love we have for what we do. God has kept me moving in the non-stop life I've had since the beginning of July and I am praying that as the year is coming to an end, it ends with Joy and Peace to ready myself for a new year to really jump into an endless ocean known as Photography.

I am down about Bobby retiring after next season, but the reason I'm posting this is because I am hoping we'll pull out one last World Series for Bobby next year.

My Sis, bro-in-law, and Eli, headed back up to NC today and instantly it sucked! I love when they are here and hate when they leave. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the cutest, smartest, and most amazing 2 year-old struttin' around out there. The ladies already swoon over him, he is picking up drums, guitar, piano, golf, and baseball... :) hahaha, and honestly he just turned 2 and can already speak in full sentences. Ask Anastasiia, she can vouch hahaha. Yes I am biased, but I feel like it is my Uncle Duty to brag on my lil' dude! I have tons of photos of him from the past two years and probably should put them into the works of creating something... hmmmm will see :).<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianhallphotography/4022839880/" title="Eli's 2nd Birthday. by brianhall, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/4022839880_0819186e58.jpg" width="400" height="266" alt="Eli's 2nd Birthday." /></a><br />"I'm Two Yay!!!"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianhallphotography/4022076971/" title="The Big Two-One B-day! by brianhall, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2696/4022076971_8db2712f44.jpg" width="400" height="266" alt="The Big Two-One B-day!" /></a><br />This is my Sister, the raddest sis on the planet.

After spending a lot of time having WORKFLOW WORKFLOW WORKFLOW being hammered into my skull, I have been trying to prepare myself and my future business to have a tight and steady flow <b>A.K.A.</b> A Flowing River Named Work <b>A.K.A.

That would be known as, just use Lightroom and more so pointed towards wedding photography or just sorting through a days worth of images, and even that you could resort back down to Bridge. No, I am really speaking about business workflow. Finally getting my website up (but one I love and works the most efficient), new blog, better and more efficient storage for my images, get everything set with the new Accountant and Bookkeeper (highly recommended by a very very reliable source), more efficient workspace, freeing up hard drives, setting up shoots for the new portfolio in some special locations ;), and finishing albums, example books, comp cards, etc. etc. etc. Much stuff to do, but things that are very essential to getting out there. So, hur weh go!</span></span></div>Brian Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06499412494835116831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791282719219142432.post-22282988824235193662009-10-14T22:51:00.005-04:002009-10-14T23:39:53.088-04:00Hey, I'm 21 Now.

So she secretly contacted <a href="http://ellaruephotoblog.com/">Danielle</a> and <a href="http://jessicaelliott.net/">Jessica</a>, then my Mom, so everyone knew, my family, friends, and even <a href="http://climie.com/_shout/">Marc</a> knew she was coming.

I wanted to make a big post about it but I have been so busy getting ready for my Portfolio Show tomorrow... today? Yeah, that I haven't had time to blog about the whole trip or the Portfolio show as well. So tomorrow or Sunday I will post about both. But a quick glance above is an amazing girl I met in NYC the 4th. Her name is Anastasiia and she is quite the beauty and smarty as well :). She took me out for the day on Sunday and helped make the trip one of the best trips of my life. Look out for her photo work coming soon!

I won Best Portfolio 2009 for my photography program at </span></span><a href="http://gtcphoto.wordpress.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Gwinnett Tech</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">. It was hard but nothing felt more natural as far as work goes. It's so hard to express how I feel in writing or speaking. Christ has been extremely patient and gracious with me and has gotten me through so much the past two years and to be given this is just too much. There are a classroom of 23 other students deserving of this honor and to say I did it without all of them would be a lie. All my classmates (all linked to the right) helped me in some way along the way which is why I am so grateful for this experience that I might not would have had at any other school (special thanks to classmate </span></span><a href="http://jessicaelliottphotography.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Jessica Elliott</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> for being an amazing partner for the past two years!). My teachers (Mrs. Harkins, Ms. Finch, Mrs. Kathy, John, D.Jones, and Claudia (oh and can't forget Ms. Hwang! haha))are the sickest, they helped me in and outside of school and their honesty, although it can be extremely hard to hear, has helped mold me into way more than the lil "photographer" who walked in two years ago. I'm definitely not trying to write some speech, just give credit where credit is due, because also, my Family and Friends have supported me all the way through and without all of these components of love in my life, I know I wouldn't be close to the person I am and receiving this honor wouldn't be as sweet. I'm just so dang stoked about this and also for all my classmates for making it through, giving it their all, and caring for one another the whole way through. </span></span><a href="http://gtcphoto.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Gwinnett Tech's Photography Program</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> is one of the most radical experiences.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">This video was put together by my friend and 2008 GTC graduate </span></span><a href="http://ellaruephotoblog.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Danielle Millwood</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">!

It was nerve racking, exciting, fun, tiring, and also illuminating. Illuminating in the sense that I have had a great time at <a href="http://gtcphoto.com/">Gwinnett Tech</a> for the most part. I have gotten to know some really great photographers and made good friends. I have never been a good student and I hated school most of my life, but for once I will miss a school. Not the work of course haha, but constantly seeing good people and watching them grow as photographers and just as people. I know it won't be the same after school, but it's a good thing because the new "chapter" of our lives is going to be one of the hardest but the most rewarding as we set off to be true professionals at a profession that takes great knowledge and talent.

I made a new header for it because I honestly didn't like the last one. The </span><a href="http://gtcphoto.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">GTC Photography Website</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> is now up.

For real, the respect and joy I have for my teachers, classmates, friends, and family is just brimming at the moment. So to some up this entry, go to our Portfolio Show September 12th, 6:30-9:30PM at the Art Station (</span><a href="http://www.artstation.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">www.artstation.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">) at Stone Mountain.

Music photography is where I got my start in the photography world so I always sort of feel at home when I get out to help promote these guys with what they love doing. I love music and enjoy playing it, since I don't think I would ever make it as a musician this is just another alternative to always be apart of it, besides jammin whenever I get the chance ;). The guys were awesome and the shoot went great. I look forward to working with all the guys again in the future. Check out some of the shots on the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianhallphotography/">Flickr</a>. Also, big thanks to <a href="http://www.ellaruephotography.com/">Danielle from Ella Rue Photography</a> for helping me out with keeping the shoot flowing.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianhallphotography/3819814110/" title="Ninety Four Promo by brianhall, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3819814110_20188abb84.jpg" width="400" height="266" alt="Ninety Four Promo" /></a></center>Brian Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06499412494835116831noreply@blogger.com0
