I made some Images in the last weeks - please tell me what you think:

Well I've come to terms with the fact I'm no Denzel Washington… and I'm okay with that. All I really wanted to do was to take some good quality pictures I could use as profile headshots for my internet businesses and for my business cards, brochures, etc. This was important since I had a deadline coming up that I needed pictures for.

Based on my photography needs, I had wondered was there a photographer where the average looking person can go to get reasonably priced, almost “Star Quality” pictures taken. Also, I preferred that they were local too because I wanted a photographer that I could do business with again on future projects. Just imagine my delight when I found out that there was such a photographer located in Oakland at Positive Images Photography.

The owner is Gisele Bonds (no relation to Barry) and she not only consulted with me on the objectives of my project, she also happened to be a pleasure to talk to. She is very knowledgable. She definitely won points when she suggested that I go home to retrieve a few darker outfits to round out my photoshoot after I mistakenly arrived with all lighter colored outfits. She then explained why and how the darker colored outfits could be used to my advantage in the photoshoot.

As we took pictures she instructed me to pose at various angles and again she told me why those angles were important based on the numerous ways we discussed I could to utilize those pictures in my marketing mix. For instance, some of my pictures were taken with my business' branding in mind so that my company's logo or other images could be easily incorporated into those pictures. Nice!

For someone who's camera shy, I can honestly say I did enjoy Gisele's professionalism and creativity. After what felt to me like a thousand pictures and almost an eternity, we finally finished! At that point my mind started thinking, I hope these pictures look okay. I have to admit, I felt a little self-concious about the prospect of seeing the finished product because I have like many people, facial blemishes. When I mentioned this concern to Gisele she said not to worrry the pictures are going to look good.

Gisele invited me to come in and take a look at all the pictures we took and choose the ones I wanted. She gave me some positive feedback that was helpful and then I selected my favorites.

Later, when I received my Picture Disc I was happy to see that she was so right, my pictures did look good and my facial blemishes were gone… at least in my pictures! Interestingly, I'm told her specialty is working with high school aged students. Her studio is filled with with a plethora of graduation and prom pictures, etc.

She mentors students by providing intern opportunities at her studio and one of her past interns who is in college currently, still works at the studio which to me says alot about the kind of person Gisele is. I think that Positive Images Photography is aptly named and if you're looking for high quality photos, Gisele is the person you need to see. You may soon find that your pictures will be worth much more than a thousand words if you do!

My wife and I took the Red Carpet LOTR Tour of New Zealand and it was the best time EVER. Highly recommend taking the tour with these people, they know everyone.

FYI the original Shire set was not completely struck, nor was it maintained - the sheep ranch where the Hobbiton shots were taken was allowed to keep the undressed facades of several hobbit holes after LOTR. Bag End was a bit more than a facade, you could actually sit inside the door and take pictures looking out - it only went into the hill about 6 feet.

Whoever ends up officially directing will have Peter Jackson and the Weta crew behind them and those people are passionate about getting the Hobbit exactly right.

I can't wait to take the tour again during the filing :-)

Golfer Tiger Woods reportedly took a DNA paternity test back in 2002 as a part of a child support battle that proved his mistress, Devon James’ son, Austin James, was not his (photos below). Tiger does not have a love child, at least not with this porn star.

Devon apparently continues to claim her 9 year-old son is Tiger’s. And the kid actually does look a lot like Tiger, which is kind of an explained mystery. The resemblance is uncanny. Coincidence? DNA says YES.

Maybe she is Team Jacob, after all: Twilight's Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart enjoyed a night out at swank restaurant Matriciano in Rome Wednesday, as the young film stars are in the country to promote the third film in the series, Eclipse.

The young stars were greeted by a throng of fans and paparazzi waiting for them outside the restaurant, where Stewart was well-shielded by one of her bodyguards. They boarded the car, and were up bright and early Thursday for a photo shoot.

A small cache of Betty White sex photos has reportedly been discovered, according to showbizspy.com.  

The four pics allegedly feature Betty, 88, with her late husband Allen Ludden in compromising positions. Ludden died from cancer in 1981, so Betty was in her 50s or younger when the photos were taken.

The Golden Girl reportedly forgot about the images and left them in a box in her old house.  Someone found them and is trying to find a media outlet to buy them.
