    Prom

    A local high school does a red carpet walk for their prom attendees every year. A red carpet is rolled out and parents and friends in bleachers on each side cheer them on as they make their way to the dance. The highlight is that the kids try to outdo each other with their rides, the more outrageous the better.

    There were TWO semis. The yellow one was just a tractor, the last one pulled a trailer filled with what seemed like half the school...

    Dude, you're getting too damn good. Why don't you take some time off, and maybe try your hand at, oh, I dunno, stained glass or something...

    Hey, check out my blog on Carl Purcell. Almost felt like I was in the presence of royalty. Hey, that's a joke. Royalty. Guess you have to read the story...

    Steve,

    That Memorial Day story is AWESOME. And I'm jealous about meeting Purcell! If stained glass is what helps get me there, I'm on it!

    Thanks for the kind words man.

    Gorgeous shots Seb!

    I took my Niece's prom pics last month (window light of course lol). I did explain to her that the school photographer would take a pic of her but she insisted that I do her portraits :thumbsup:

    Re: Prom

    lol...thats great....I just hope they don't get this idea around here! But I think it would have been really funny if the girl would be driving the semi :
    I don't think I'd want all those parents any where near my prom though.....

    These are some nice shots, Sebastian. I especially like that you caught the girl in purple wearing her flip flops. It's all in the details.

    Thanks JS and Paul!

    Paul, I never even noticed the flip-flops until I was doing the edit. It cracked me up.

    It's bathrooms for us. We're moving and the new place doesn't have any yet.

    Yikes! That wouldn't have even made the "maybe" list here! Bathroom is a must!


    We have a washer, but my brother just moved over by us, and the $1.3 million dollar home that he's living in as a perk of his job doesn't have a washer and dryer.

    Re: Prom

    No money in the budget for washer and dryer? What, did the waterfall shower eat it up?

    We're renting a house, moving by month's end, and the owner is adding a second bathroom and redoing the master. So we will have a bathroom there. Two even.
