Penn State- Alabama 2011

September 10th, 2011 is a date that many Alabama and Penn State fans have looked forward to for quite a while. The Alabama-Penn State football game. There is so much more to football to this game. Its a celebration of the history of both schools. The legendary coaches that have coached (or are still coaching) at each school. The traditions. The stadiums. The uniforms. The great plays. When the Bear roamed the sideline, match ups with Penn State were frequent, but until the recent two game series, the two teams have not met since 1989. Last year, Alabama won the match 24-3. Alabama had home advantage, a tested QB, reigning Heisman Winner at running back, and a pretty dominate defense. This year we go to State College in the midst of a QB battle with two QBs that do not have that much game experience, at least our defense is just as dominate. Let's see how this turns out

Alabama Football 2011

So once again it is September in the south and that could only mean one thing: football. This is Alabama's football schedule for the 2011 season. This is actually a wall paper that I used on my computer. 

Some of the best games this season will be the home match ups against LSU and UTennessee. The games at Mississippi State and Auburn will be games to keep an eye out on. 

(Not So) Fresh Perspective

Yes, I know Perspective is misspelled. It was changed back in the day, but apparently not saved.

These two images were found on the harddrive of my old Dell. I thought I had lost them forever but they reappeared here on my new MacBook Pro.

Back my freshman year of college, two fellow freshman guys created an internet talk/ commentary show titled 'The Fresh Perspective'. Little did I know that over the next few years I would grow close to both guys.  At the time Matt wanted to do some major marketing for the show cause he wanted it to be competition for the Crimson White ( never happened). So these were stickers that he wanted to have made.  

In its day, Fresh Perspective had great memorable episodes like ," Roll Tide", " Pluto", and "Blinds"

I got a kick out of seeing these old pics of two of my best friends. HA

Go and make disciples of all nations- Matthew 28:19

Over Spring Break my roommate, Matt went to Seville, Spain as a missions trip. He had been learning spanish for quite awhile now and this was a great opportunity for him to go to a native speaking country to work on his spanish as well as to shine a light in one of the darker countries in Europe. If you know Matt, you know that he loves taking photo. This is a picture that he took on the street of Seville. The section that I used is actually just a really small portion of that photo. 

This image is meant to be a lock screen background for a iPhone/iPod Touch. 

The Montgomerys

A year ago tomorrow I was in N. Alabama watching two close friends tie the knot. I have known Patrick for several years now. He roomed with Matt in Lakeside, so I got to spend alot of time around him and getting to know him. Micca was his high school sweet heart and they somehow managed to survive 4 years of a long distance relationship. They have been an awesome example of what a Godly dating relationship should look like. Now they live in the greatest state in the Union, Texas!

This is a picture I made one day just trying some new things out that I had learned in photoshop. Its a combo of one of their engagement pictures with one of their wedding photos.

The Spin



This is another entry from right after the National Championship. This one honors Defensive MVP Marcell Dareus. Besides showing the world what a pansy Colt McCoy really was, Dareus made an awesome play near the very end of the first half. Texas QB Garrett Gilbert was obviously flustered.( I would be too if my first real playing time came in the National Championship Game against one of the biggest defenses in the nation, but give him props, he did AMAZING in the second half) he threw a very poorly judged pass, that never really got anywhere, but Dareus's hands. Dareus then clothelines Gilbert, spins him off, and is escorted into the endzone for 6.

This is my first attempt at a time lapse photoshop, showing the moment from when Dareus got the ball to the time that he was home free headed for the endzone. The elephant was one again taken from the pre-game video with the crystal ball placed in the elephant's eye. 

The Dragon

This is one of the very very first graphics that I created. This was made in the fall of 2006 when I first started college. It initially served as a my computer wallpaper for awhile, and it has always been one of my favorite graphics that I have created. 

Dragons are something that I have always loved. The dragon is a symbol that is prevalent in Chinese folklore, and to this day the dragon is most associated with China. In addition to the rich cultural roots, according to the Chinese zodiac, I was born in the year of the dragon. So this is a pretty sweet dragon, and i thought that it would be cool to put my name over it.
