i have discovered it's near impossible to blog, while at work or at the beach, where i've been most of the time. the surf is up here, luckily coinciding with a classic surf contest that i've been watching and taking a few pictures of. i'm on my way down to the finals this morning. my husband finished yesterday in first place in both divisions he was in, the masters and grandmasters, so he'll surf again today. just when he confided he might not compete anymore, chuck found new inspiration in the form of one small boy. travis, our surf crazy grandson. this boy is his most dedicated fan (well, there would be me...i have the starry eyes for him, but i don't run up and down the beach. anymore. hee hee). see where we are
here.
i did want to share with you before i head out today, a coupon you might want to take advantage of, it's for a photobook at 'my publisher'. so sorry i wasn't on this sooner, it expires tomorrow, but you have ninety days to make your book once you buy the voucher. for ten dollars you can make a hard cover, twenty page book. i made a tutorial for bookmaking at 'my publisher'
here. the link for the coupon is
here. i think it's a great way to try it out. i hope you'll let me know if you do.
to the beach now!
love, lori
Hi Lori! Thanks so much for the coupon info! I have been trying to edit some of the bobillion photos I have on my computer -- sheez -- what a mess. Anyhoo, this is good incentive to get it done ;).
ReplyDeleteAnd have fun at the beach!
Blessings,
G
awesome surfing! off to buy that voucher....
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the beach. I used to photograph surfers for their portfolios when they were trying to get sponsorships. That was one of my favorite jobs. Congrats once again to your husband.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your Chuck, that is super news! I love that he and your grandson share this wonderful bond, it's so special for both of them. I wish him all the best today as he rides those awesome waves you guys get there.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to the coupon.
Have a lovely day Lori.
Wow...congratulations to your husband! And awesome that Travis is INTO surfing, too. Bonding time! I look forward to seeing lots of photos from you soon. Enjoy your time at the beach. ♥
ReplyDeleteWow....surfing?! Congrats to your hubby and best of luck in the finals. Whoa. :) Thanks for the voucher and we'll all be here when you return from the lovely beach!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Chuck. Travis must be soo proud of having a surf champion for a grandpa, what kid wouldn't be.!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all your photos.
Busy busy busy - no better place than loving the beach, the surf and family. Breathe deep. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Chuck!!! I think Travis picked his hero very wisely!!! Hope you have a good (winning!!) day!!
ReplyDelete(My photography professor is an ex (or old) "surfer dude" from Miami--still involved from the photography end now--travels around the world to photographically catch those waves and surfers--is pulling together a book due out in March--a collaboration with some other surfers and photographers--to coincide with a major something opening in FL; while he was talking about it the other day, I'm afraid I was lost in Photoshop and not paying close attention.)
I couldn't think of a better way to spend the weekend. WOOHOOO! Go, Chuck, go! How awesome is that! Even awesomer to rediscover passion through kids. Good luck, and thanks for the coupon!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Great photo :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chuck! Thank you for the info and coupon for my publisher.
ReplyDeletexoxo
looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Chuck!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a beach to hang out on I don't think I'd be blogging either!
Lori, thank you for the coupon. I tried this a few years ago with another
ReplyDeletepublisher, and have always meant to make another. Procrasinator that I am, this is the jump-start that I needed.
I've got my fingers crossed that it's idiot proof,as that's where my tech level lies.
And no,,,had I a beach, I wouldn't be blogging either! Surfer,,,wow!
Thanks again,,,
Hi Lori! I found more ideas ... look this: www.minspiration.blogspot.com/2012/02/earphones.html

ReplyDeleteI was telling Kim about this and he wondered if it was at Rincon?
He's been in that one too........
Congratulations to your husband.
Bet he's stoked.

thank you, it is julie, the rincon classic, this was the 29th year, it's always a lot of fun with friends and family and surf! awesome your husband was in it before.
DeleteWow, congratulations to your husband!! And how wonderful to have Travis inspiring him...Missed out on the coupon but that's okay, next time!

Ah you know something, I would not even TRY to work on the beach! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chuck! That is so cool. And to Travis, too! Enjoy your boys, and that beautiful beach. Hug some sand for me. (But don't get it in your eyes!). Happy Valentine's Day! xoxox
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your husband! And even better that another generation is just as interested in keeping up the family surfing tradition.
