Lisa Whalen Photography Blog!

Those of you who know me well know that my outlook on life pretty much sums itself up with the phrase "It's All About Having Fun". (If I could translate that into Latin I would, because then it would sound so marvelously self-important and wise!) I believe that a great majority of life activities can be made fun and enjoyable with just the right attitude, and I stand by that belief even though, at the moment, blogging is NOT counted among those activities.

Why is this the case? Because I just created a lengthy, photo-filled blog entry in the hopes of redeeming my slacker status, only to watch the majority of it fade away into obscurity at the click of a mouse.

Gone. Irretrievable. Never to be seen again. Why do we all love computers so much? Someone remind me, PLEASE.

So... now I'm off to go cry over a box of yummy chocolates and completely ignore my blog because I am DONE with this thing for today...

I will, however, post a photo or two in support of my motto, because I definitely believe that when it come to taking photos, IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN!

What could be more fun than an afternoon on the beach in lawn chairs?

There. I feel better now. More to come - I'd keep uploading but I don't want to push my luck!

Off to have a meaningful personal experience with a box of yummy chocolates...!

This morning I had an outpatient procedure that goes by the crazily long name of - are you ready?- ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY. Can you believe that grandiose title? The only other longer word I can think of at the moment is SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS. (for those of you unfamiliar with the term, I suggest you run out right now, or get online and rent Mary Poppins!)

Anyway, despite the incredibly long title, it's a very simple procedure involving a ridiculously small camera that a doctor uses to check out your esophagus, stomach and duodenum. As much as I love anything photographically related, I must say the idea of actually SWALLOWING a camera rather worried me! But you know what? The whole thing was a piece of cake! I was in and out in 15 minutes, and in my happily sedated state I hardly noticed a thing!

As stated earlier, in my life pretty much all unusual happenings need to be documented, so when the doctor offered to take some pictures of my insides for me, I said SURE! And now I have them - a fascinating little glimpse into the inner workings of my precious body. I am amazed...

Sooo.... since I've been a neglectful blogger and haven't posted any of my shoots for awhile, I figured I'd end this post with a photo. No, not of my stomach, but of an amazingly fun bridal couple I got to photograph this past weekend.

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what happens when you allow athletic brides and grooms to run wild in their natural environment....

More to Come...
