sun, sick & the stl

photo challenge, you are killing me. THERE IS NO SUN TODAY! in the words of a seasoned photographer and a person who spent 4.5 years in rochester, ny - it is 18% gray outside! the joke is rochester is always gray, 18% gray in fact (keep in mind kodak eastman is in roc, ny). 18% gray (middle gray) is what a photographer uses (in a cardboard form) to produce and consistent image exposure in photography. okay completely geeked out there - i guess years of my life spend in a dark room and studio paid off and my degree isn't completely useless.

so instead of document the fact there is NO sun - i shall provide you with a sunny pic from a great memory!

presidente's a la beach
a few years ago the fam and i hit up the carribean sea's for some maj relaxation and fun! when we made it to the st marteen port we decided to divide and conquer. also known as the men were going to the casino and my mother and i were going to plant our asses on the beach (shocked? shoudn't be - sunnnnn bunnies!) so we found a delightful little patch of beautiful white sand and parked it for the day.only thing better then sun, salt and sand? the fact that there was a little hut right on the beach that had el presidente's for a buck. one dolla holla kiddies. so my mother and continued our day of sun worshiping and got (for a lack of a better phrase) complete swasted!! needless to say the walk back to the boat was amazing. we had to walk though and open door market, where we made excess (unneeded) purchases of touristy crap - key chairs, signs, etc etc.i'm pretty sure we almost didn't make it/got lost - thats fine, i would have totally stayed! for your viewing pleasure a trip down family cruise lane photog style:

the fam - brother, mother, uncle nickster!!!! and meee 
the brosef  - classy guy
bro and padre
the parental units - LOVE EM!
so i wish i was enjoying sun a cruise - clearly not the case. no instead i'm SICK!!!!!!!!!! i am a cranky beotch when.i'm sick so i've trying to contain myself and my bitch-ness but if i sneeze one more time i'm going to punch myself in the face.

i depart tomorrow for the stl (st. louis you fools). its student conference season (ugh, need i say more). so myself and 3 of my NPHC kiddies depart tomorrow am for the land of nelly. in two weeks? i take the frat stars to the ATL and in a few more weeks back to the A with the ladies. needless to say, i will be OVERRRRR travel, students and 15 passenger vans by the time summer comes.

okay i need a tissue... peace, love 'n alka seltzer cold plus
