twitter? tweet? wtf?

November 20, 2008 – 4:49 pm

Okay, Coralee here..a little late and a little bit worse for wear. I am really not feeling that well today (bloody sick) and am here to talk a little about twitter..why?

 

Okay, yesterday the Rocktographers got together over some wings and discussed the state of the world, Rocktographer road trips and all thing rocking and the topic of  twitter came up. I don’t tweet (that’s the verb for twittering..geez, can the english language use another slang verb?) because I thought that you know, as much as I let people into my crazy little oddball world through my work and my blog, there should be a place that’s sacred and only yours and besides, I don’t think that knowing what little old Coralee is doing every minute of the day is that important or necessary for the world, you know? But then I realized that much like your facebook status, your twitter status doesn’t have to divulge WHAT you are doing all of the time but can take about what you’re feeling, etc so I too have become a twitterer. You can check out our statuses above through this snazzy little thing that Jake did and if you click on our names, you can view our profiles and even subscribe to our tweets. So twitter on…

Turn up the heat please!!

November 18, 2008 – 12:10 pm

Hey everyone, need a little hot spot to warm up today?  Amanda, Bethany and I just came back from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan last night from visiting family.  The temperature reading in the car when we left was 2.  It was a steady countdown all the way home ending up at -17!  Ouch!  I’m kinda new at this Winnipeg thing and even though I was here last winter it still takes some adjusting.  In the spirit if staying warm, I thought I would share some engagement sessions from the warmer times this year.  In order of appearance, these are some of my fantastic brides and grooms you will see married in 2009.  I can’t wait!  I still enjoy sessions in the snow though, so stay tuned for some awesome stuff in the cool weeks to come.  Thanks!

Kendra + Brian :: 15.11.08

November 17, 2008 – 3:06 pm

Saturday was our one and only wedding for November (still 4 to go in December) with Kendra and Brian. We had an incredible time working with these two, as they were wedding party members from a wedding we shot last August, so it was great to see some familiar faces in the crowd and catch up with people. Kendra and Brian did an incredible job planning their wedding, from all the craft work Kendra did on the wedding stationary, to the awesome “Rock the Reception” first dance the couple did.

To Kenra and Brian, thank you so much for letting us join you one your wedding day, you guys are simply awesome, and we wish you all the best in the future!

rockshop..coralee style!

November 13, 2008 – 3:13 pm

Okay, let me preface this by saying that I don’t hate the winter. I think that the snow can be quite magical and sparkly at times and even the charm of wearing of sweaters, scarves and being all cozy under a blanket has not been lost on me but…I don’t like the extreme cold, having to scrape my car windows just to see out of them and frosty toes makes me pissy! So every November I try to escape to somewhere that I haven’t been before (and that’s warmer than home!)and last year I visited the Sonoran Desert. My mom had talked about how I would fall in love with the amazingness of the saguaro cactus and she was right! They live a long time and it takes them 50-75 years just to get their first cacti arms! So, hopefully these photos will give you a little piece of the warm desert for yourself..enjoy! 

when a palm tree starts to grow, it kind of looks like a pineapple growing from the ground with crazy fern-like hair…

these saguaros have such history..love this one!

November 12, 2008 – 2:23 pm

Hi there Rock fans! With the Rocktographers, there’s never a dull moment, we’re always doing some new and exciting and this project is nothing less of that! We’ve always been asked if our travel photos can purchased as a “fine art” piece, well we listen to your request and make it possible for anybody who want to take a little part for us home with you. As this project goes on, we’ll be adding more and more so make sure to check back regularly.

As for “Fine Rocktographer Art” an image can modified to your liking. See sample below, the photo can be modified to fit in any space, you’re never restricted into the same old boring format. Just let us know and we’ll get it done! Artwork can be mounted on canvas, framed, metallic or just on photographic paper of any size. You can find out on Friday as our store will be live just in time for Christmas! For now we have three collection from myself, Coralee and the Kampers!

We will be posting the official link to the store on Friday with the Kamper’s post.

My first collection is be of course “Hawaii”. Old man Winter is here to stay and I hope this collection will help warm you up! Enjoy!

Brittani & Cael - Engaged! (Winterness Debut)

November 11, 2008 – 12:02 pm

Welcome to winter everyone!  Brittani and Cael handled the colder snow atmosphere very well.  They were a little cold near the end but did a great job keeping each other warm.  They have a country wedding out near Winkler in May and I can’t wait!  I love country weddings!  They said something about involving Jet Skis… how cool is that!  Have a great week and enjoy this wonderful Winnipeg weather for months to come.  Curtis

Rockin’ The Small Town - Glenn Sutter

November 10, 2008 – 1:00 am

Hey there friends =) This past weekend we hit the road Jake’s parents place in south west Manitoba, and had the pleasure of taking some photos at the CD release of Glenn Sutter. Glenn grew up in Souris, Manitoba, and now lives in Regina with his family. If you’re a fan of folk rock, definitely check out his Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/glennsuttermusic Glenn played to a full house at the Avalon Theater in Souris, and the music was embraced by everyone in his old community. On a side “this is a small world” note, I (Jake) actually used to mow the lawn for Glenn’s mother when I was still in school… small world indeed!

Rock on =)
