No matter where I pinched, I only grabbed skin. It was confusing.<br /><br />Fast-forward a few decades and I get the point. I can now pinch more than inch in most places. Generally, I'm a fairly slim person, but i was once told that "skinny people can be fat too." How true that is.<br /><br />This year is a monumental year in my life, business and a few other things. So, this year my plan is to get back into my twenty-something shape. Plus, I can't be outdone by my wife who has just delivered our youngest son and is getting in shape for a trip to the islands. Stay tuned for my journey back into shape.<br /><br />Here is a video from 1979.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9lTRfh0gcU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9lTRfh0gcU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>RodRick Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08443931276540971005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583139883495672407.post-74761833574473079402010-02-17T05:32:00.004-05:002010-02-17T05:41:53.888-05:00Time for a Portrait Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgBZ995GlRWv8HsdDZXQU0b5O8Rraf3xNRc2H5F13KG2lPzeQBGuA7AxWOYWao4smPImWsy1h62U1q3VHMgMJBRVPX0P3cHScfLqV4_P8AEO-XShsD9dsSBA4C1HPHxbt3XaRGWYNTt5M/s1600-h/Portrait_Party_Time_blue_02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgBZ995GlRWv8HsdDZXQU0b5O8Rraf3xNRc2H5F13KG2lPzeQBGuA7AxWOYWao4smPImWsy1h62U1q3VHMgMJBRVPX0P3cHScfLqV4_P8AEO-XShsD9dsSBA4C1HPHxbt3XaRGWYNTt5M/s400/Portrait_Party_Time_blue_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439158499099060210" border="0" /></a>It is time for a portrait party!<br /><br />We started offering these on a special basis a year ago and are happy to say that they are back. These fun little events are great when you want to have a few families or groups over and have pictures at the same time. Each group has their own mini session. The party can even be geared around a theme such as maternity, newborns, Valentines, girls night or whatever.<br /><br />Contact us for more details and get your party on the calendar.RodRick Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08443931276540971005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583139883495672407.post-91898930023604522202010-02-10T07:55:00.005-05:002010-02-10T08:51:12.603-05:00Quickoffice Connect<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF25rpgwD5UgX5wbXUJ072rwVdxHOGzjO2WlfTyRYM7Xhyv-WBDjFpy9T_RChqT9HzTwc4m3CxpOFXyTmZBPBWAhWShpfPV8sqb3rwE6ceLLPoHFfZXN6GGzHyMUi295ijilq46h9SqVdc/s1600-h/slide_features_quickoffice_connect_suite_iphone.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF25rpgwD5UgX5wbXUJ072rwVdxHOGzjO2WlfTyRYM7Xhyv-WBDjFpy9T_RChqT9HzTwc4m3CxpOFXyTmZBPBWAhWShpfPV8sqb3rwE6ceLLPoHFfZXN6GGzHyMUi295ijilq46h9SqVdc/s400/slide_features_quickoffice_connect_suite_iphone.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436598457999713762" /></a>Who needs a laptop?

Many children from local schools participated and even one child from the West Coast entered. Yes, you read it correctly... the West Coast. They had come across the contest while doing research via the internet of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and promptly submitted their entry. I can't recall if they won, but it seems this Wilmington event has gone national.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSzX2MDiW9tKzKg_63WrpcuDZq5RXHNUneB8xSRMfbNarOpRgAtuAp13NDA7ERxPgy_wQrFMM8HqWb0jPfX05-3KGwTNLGOrsla8L5r8jjkVENGAMv-3G3pXZ-8s6aacK4EWezsgI4BtqJ/s1600-h/0149.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSzX2MDiW9tKzKg_63WrpcuDZq5RXHNUneB8xSRMfbNarOpRgAtuAp13NDA7ERxPgy_wQrFMM8HqWb0jPfX05-3KGwTNLGOrsla8L5r8jjkVENGAMv-3G3pXZ-8s6aacK4EWezsgI4BtqJ/s400/0149.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428694454507367186" border="0" /></a>I photographed all of the winners, dignitaries and event core team with the keynote speaker, Judge Hatchett. The very one from the TV series. Of course, I found a nice photographer in the mass of parents and grandparents to take a photo of me with the judge. I would imagine that we photographers spend all of our time on the creative side of the lens missing such key moments of ourselves in the moment... not this time.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKHfZG2PxokXREm2RzxCxRBMryc1EGetLWqfcFZ_F34rD_SHhNBUEf47yEiKT7zECwZ2NOZJbB85bOxxR5Xm4HZquoxNcyg8ewNmC_bCXbDV-_UmwmKY5w7_ZyVgOy2HY8aq_V77q3oRB/s1600-h/0257.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKHfZG2PxokXREm2RzxCxRBMryc1EGetLWqfcFZ_F34rD_SHhNBUEf47yEiKT7zECwZ2NOZJbB85bOxxR5Xm4HZquoxNcyg8ewNmC_bCXbDV-_UmwmKY5w7_ZyVgOy2HY8aq_V77q3oRB/s400/0257.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428694452452757090" border="0" /></a>The Judge's speech was a dose in old southern Baptist church.
