It’s my party!

A quick post to let you know that I am taking the weekend off for my birthday today. If you are waiting to hear from me I will get back to you early next week. I haven’t forgotten you…it has just been busy week! Also, officially, all 2008 sessions are booked and I will resume new bookings in February 2009.

It has been a great day so far with an early start to celebrating the day. Yesterday night, I had the opportunity to listen to an interview of famous Bollywood actor Shabana Azmi. I have always been a fan of Shabana’s work as an “art” film actor as opposed to the typical Bollywood song and dance numbers. She is in the bay area supporting a fundraiser happening tonight for Home of Hope, an organization that partners with projects in India and the US that support desitute children. Shabana is also a social activist and has advocated various womens’ causes working tirelessly in the villages of India toward their empowerment. The point of this whole post is that I was truly amazed at how articulate she is and also passionate about the causes she works for. The night gold wilder as I got to sit right next to her for dinner having tagged along with friends that went out for the after-the-event festivities. And can you believe it that I didn’t have a camera to record this momentous occasion? For a minute, I thought of taking pics with my camera phone which by the way I have no idea how to use. I will though cherish the wonderful evening.

Fast forward to today, I had a marvelous morning at my son’s soccer game where he scored two goals (one was a bit of an assist :-)). What an amazing finish to the season and a big thank you to the fabulous coaches and the families that were a part of our team.We also had a celebration after the game presenting the coaches with the framed photo of the kids I took with their names signed on the mats.

I am off for some margaritas with some friends to finish off the wonderful day.  Have a wonderful weekend. Oh, and since I can’t have a post without photos here are a few from location scouting with my little guy!
