Ike or Sike...

Hurricane IKE has taken over everyones mind... Evacuate, prepare, blah blah blah. I was leaving anyway because my little sister is having her 10th Birthday Party today. Back to IKE, since Thursday the "experts" told everyone in the Houston Area to leave, take cover, or prepare to be in water up to their eyeballs. I watched the weather via the 'net until about 4am. For most areas other than downtown, nothing but a cool summer shower and some winds that people in Chicago (the windy city) experience daily. Although Galveston was hit pretty hard, those same "experts" said there would be surges up to 25 feet, ummm actually 11 feet was the best, or worst. Good call by the people in Houston that decided to stay and have Evacuation Parties instead of wasting time and money running from the drizzle. Anyway the Birthday Party starts in about 2 hours and I plan on making some great things happen. Special thanks to KingdaviD for letting me borrow his 40D, I havent had my camera since September 2, it was being repaired and when I planned to pick it up yesterday before my drive to Dallas, (of course) the repair shop was closed.
Heres a couple of images from the beginning of my drive to Dallas from "Houston." Gotta admire us Texans and our fearless humor.

LaborDayClassic...

We win again. Prairie View dominates TSU despite their gaining one "star" player during the off-season. Pretty lopsided victory for the Panthers to begin what should be a storybook season and a final nail in that "Losing Streak Filled" coffin... Here's are a couple of random shots.. First is the kickers helmet, hence the practice net in the background. Then the Prairie View Marching Storm, lastly me displaying my first ever "official" field pass (usually I just wander down there and hope no one asks me where my pass is)...
FYI I didnt go to watch the game at all...

On The Spot... Andrea.

I know, I know.. I said it would be weekly and its been two or so weeks since I had an "On the Spot" post. Anyway its been crazy in my life since then and an especially
eventful weekend last week because of the party that I hosted. Anyway here's the 2nd Installment. This is Andrea, she will be receiving a Bachelors Degree in BIOLOGY, this saturday, and the interview....













Me: What was your first Prairie View memory?
Andrea: First pep rally for homecoming. The band and black foxes were great. The energy and school spirit was crazy.

M: First "I'm really in college" moment?
Andrea: When financial aid wouldn't release my funds!!! It took them a month to get my aid together.

M: What will you miss the most about college?
Andrea: The thing I'm gonna miss most bout college is sleeping all day then waking up just to go MSC or humpday. And the Late night runs to jack in box.

M: What do you thing you will be doing in about ten years?
Andrea: I hope to be working as physican assistant and living in Florida.

CLUB NEXT! inDmix Photographers...

Its been a week... The party was KRAZY, bananas if you will... Crowd surfing, champagne bottles energy drinks and of kourse more than anything, PHOTOS.. There were 5 or 6, maybe 7 photographers capturing the madness... Here are some of my images... for my full gallery goto http://www.cdixonphotos.com/NEXT.

NEXT! This SUNDAY... JULY 27

Im bored and blogging from Memorial City Mall at the APPLE Store, for those of u who know and love me, you know that I love APPLE products. I love them so much that I bought an Apple Laptop (macbook pro 17") and an Apple Desktop (20" iMac) within one month of each other...

More importantly Im hosting a party this weekend, tomorrow at CLUB NEXT (and when I say "I", well keep reading)... This will be the biggest and best party of this summer and probably of the year, unless we decide to do it again..

Its hosted by Me, KingDavid, Free, and FBA, four of the inDmix.com photographers. Shout out to jVince, wigg, collins and the rest of the camp. 

But make sure you come out, it should be a funky good time lol.. EARLY ARRIVAL RECOMMENDED..

Graduates... Social Status

So, I'm back at it.. Ive been doing a lot since my last time posting but all is well and finally have some peace of mind. Graduation is now 17 days away and Ive been recently bombarded with potential clients trying to fit in... I'm going to do as many I can next week and call it quits for August 9 Commencement.

These are a few images from sessions that I did with two soon to be Alums, both receiving Bachelors Degrees in Social Work and both former employees of mine... For those that didn't know I work for Prairie View A&M University in my spare time. The first is DeCrisha, who will also be commissioned into the NAVY on August 9th, and the second, Ward, a former football player for the Panthers (and SWAC defensive player of the week a few times) as well as my fraternity brother and a member of the Krimson 5 Affiliates...
I wish both of you great success and a huge Thank You for everything that you have done and will do...

Graduates...The First One...

So its almost that time again, as most of you know this is the Category 1 Version of "Hurricane Season." Summer graduation is C1, Fall is C3 and of course Spring is C5 (or more). This past spring I had the pleasure of shooting 42 Graduates. So needless to say I was sleep deprived, stressed and busy! Anyway, so far Ive done a few Summer Graduate Sessions and I'll probably be updating you more frequently with each person. This is Alicia, she will be receiving her Bachelors Degree, in Criminal Justice... August 9, 2008 @ 9 a.m!
