Photography Seminar

Stacey and I traveled over the hill to Hollywood tonight to attend a seminar on photography. (We're nerds and we like it) Wayne Scheonfeld, an awesome photographer who's been all around the world and published many beautiful books was one of the guest speakers and it was very inspiring.

What do I want to do with my photography? What is my end goal? What are my strategies to achieve that goal?

Stay tuned as life and photography collide.

Hope you all are well.

P.s. Stacey is doing great and handling the pregnancy like a champ. We're falling more and more in love every day (some days are a little harder than others) but we're well and healthy. :)

Valentine's Day

Inspired by Suzanne Winn's blog, my soon to be siter-in-law, I'm writing tonight. I'm sitting next to her sister and my baby's mama / fiance' Stacey. We've just had a relaxing Saturday Valentine's day. I won't go into many details but we've ended up on the couch surfing the internet. We're watching videos of Suz's son Jaxon (4 in April) browse the internet...he's surfing YouTube already! He's doing the same things we are!

Life is always interesting as a Blackwell. That's never more true than it is right now. I'm in love with the most beautiful girl I've ever met ... the girl of my dreams and we're getting married! We've also created life and are talking and growing together as a couple. Preparing to be parents, I guess you could say. It's crazy! We're talking about invitations and how we're going to "do" Christmas. We're talking about and observing childrens behavior and how we're going to raise OUR child.

...

Yeah, I said "and how we're going to raise OUR child". Sometimes it still doesn't hit. But it's as real as it's ever going to be. Stacey sits right next to me looking up wedding dresses as we're suckin' down smoothies with engagement rings on.

Life is good. I'm growing up more and more every day. I thought maybe I still had a few years to goof off, but not anymore! :) It's cool. I dig the responsibility of being the man of the house (whatever that means) and taking care of Stacey and my baby. I can't wait til the little guy comes out!! You know our kid is going to be the most photographed kid in the world. ;)

So I'll stop rambling for now and send you over to Stacey's blog so you can get to know her a little bit.

Saturday night...

I think I'll have another cigarette as my battery dies on the phone
I'm blogging from tonight.
As most of you know already I'm going to be a father. I'm engaged to
be a husband. I'm at the perfect place in my life to express how I feel.
My life has been judged by many, and for that I'm grateful but also
weary of what I post publicly. There's a lot to say, a lot to share
with the world. I'm a different man now. Hell, I'm a man now. The head
of a household, the guy who wears the pants in the relationship. I'm
in love and blessed to have a "baby in the oven" with the woman of my
dreams. So many thoughts and ideas and wonders fill my brain as my
lady and baby sleep just feet away.

How will I be as a dad?
How can I be as a husband?
How will my life change even more than it already has in the past month?
What will I learn?
What have I already discovered?
Will our baby be a boy or a girl?

I'm confident. More so now than ever. But I know in confidence to look
out for the unkown and be ready for anything that comes my way. I'm
ready to be a dad, I'm ready to be Stacey's life partner. I'm here in
the now, tryig to be better than I was a few hours ago. This is me,
this is real. This is the life I've been handed.
I'm still trying to grasp the idea that this would can end life as
quickly as it can create it.

Life is crazy. I dunno how many times I've written that here, but it
never ceases to be true. My mom told me on her deathbed that life
never slows down until you die. I beleive that 100%. if it's not this
it's that and if it's not nothing it's something.

Life is neither black nor white.

Thanks for reading.

Marc
