This is a sheep that my boyfriend's mother created and gifted to me this past weekend. It is said that you hang her on your doorknob and every time her little bells ring, that means that fortune is said to be coming your way. :)

The first time I saw one was boyfriend's car and he explained it to me, then when his mom came to visit, she presented one to me. He must have told her that I thought it was quite adorable.

I just enjoy the photo on the back of the book replacing his face! :)

An oldie

Here's an old photo from the archive... figured I should stick to the boxing theme! :P I didn't post this earlier because I got stuck about 15 feet or so from the ring and so had to use a zoom lenses. Most of the photos caught some great action, but it also caught the rope running straight through their faces!

Vision Magazine- July Edition, China

So if you happen to be in China, go pick up a copy of Vision magazine and see my 3 page spread Elvis story!

I don't know if I'll ever see a hard copy of it, but here is a glimpse of what the badboy looks like! :)

I'm in the culture section starting on page 208!

(This is what the cover of the mag looks like this month, I didn't shoot this btw)
