Although Terry is photographer, he has many passions. One of which is food and the cooking of food... particularly Creole food.

The Center offers after-school tutoring, mentoring, summer day camps, a youth group for teens, leadership development, and skill-building workshops. I help the kids there with math and answer lots of computer questions but I also conduct a photography workshop. I teach the kids the basic skills of taking photos and then we go out take pictures and create a slideshows and books of the their work. Many of the kids participate and they really enjoy taking photos.<br /><br />This year we’d like to take the workshop to another level and create a photography program. The program is called Exposure and the objective is not only to expose the kids of the Greenhouse to photography but to expose them to experiences that may foster a greater interest in the arts. We plan field trips to the Crocker, Second Saturday, and trips specifically for taking photos. We’ll also have guest speakers so if you’re a photographer, you can expect a call from me. We would like to get the program started in late March and we need your help.<br /><br />We need your digital point-n-shoot cameras that you don’t use any more. Doesn’t matter if you not sure if it works or not. We need it. If you have a camera that you can donate, contact me. I’ll come pick it up! If you’re out of town, drop it in the mail to me and I’ll reimburse you for the postage. So go through the drawers and closets of your house and find those old cameras. Thank you in advance for your help. </div><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446156296263714690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtrpzix0vzLnUCkJZZx2544aLummFUgFyR2THY2BqfAWWdc77HztIUEaK_5uMWpR-BMrbbN0lTQPREaYdGdyIDXd0IBpY6IwtmUzEZXPTn5mcNIzhz_X6LSNNIVpAYQr9oj9m0U_Umle0/s400/IMG_5178.jpg" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeXLoFC331Y5etnQisitMea5rMxJdPXlQubyjbm2UBhXhUXvOYtLP3PJmo7booC-PBWxHD27BzUEF_pmWAInJG5yEJNT7wyjNx0UPVgQ-jtztiFcdtyFlHiWvbvnvUTvjjyLLBrn-xpU/s1600-h/IMG_5178.jpg"></a>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-77495956138886397142009-11-26T18:36:00.000-08:002009-11-26T19:02:02.399-08:00Happy Thanksgiving Y'allSo I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and it's not just for the food. However, you can't beat deep fried turkey, twice baked potatoes, sweet potato casserole (it's really a dessert), an artichoke casserole and of course a southern tradition pecan pie. But what I like most is that it's a time to thank God for all that he has given to us. We are truly blessed with an abundance of riches and the greatest gift is my family and the tradition of Thanksgiving bring us together.<br /><br />We have another tradition on Thanksgiving and that is to take a family picture. Easy right? Cuz I'm a professional photographer and all but problem is that I'm supposed to be in the picture instead of behind the camera. So we try and try and try... and the grand kids get restless and the adults get irritated cuz the kids get restless. But we do it anyway cuz it's a tradition...<br /><br />Here are a few of the pics from our family tradition...<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408612385281465090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iA1D_cAnxM7pCCwqdEuv041eLcqq6uZjrAHhrdqBORMgtlGH8WSNPVuykM7zuAVOXQfkwcS4EcOXp7nMwDsVak9GBI2_HRdBzsbgD7_TRx1k7SHgUqmheiE7lariRV6Kpqw3b8W_oD0/s400/IMG_0068_1.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408612398079043410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xjZ6HNzrnfye3Sof1IDc2vMIGxj-RCnAotk2wuSNSfo3bklRYcQJkIwSLiWze0AYk86BTV8vFNUmgaJSMimNWE8EusK163hqEP2Swm-mwjVVMeMO_OFXBfzjyCGPzhP1GsAHO8wSHU0/s400/IMG_0074_1.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408612403210476466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTFlQ_TchE0IHYjMyzC1jOXSoAiibcx7Bfnrm8_LCqaeJ7W2fHfxyA3msFhFpsfNLc_rjYfqqh5TgXHzF0lUKKtxM28kXxm2fK-fZXZqDoWvErdz2uPcWTTSqAFX51P95CYVVmrdWlGA/s400/IMG_0094_1.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXMLxnIsdaHqo-S4MOfjqzLc3kaPhZa1-F7AMlhvKTKZpGyDDtbk1aKKuU6UuIuvkhDNUwHALljHB7ZxbXnsrF2JOb0qD6YkuKFw0_3aP5MnIsV2_LyO0mdO9CXob51QDTGwFi9xXcUA/s1600/IMG_0103_1.JPG"></a> <div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408612390274559826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHUHRUo7uMfIYtS1wRZQktXiOOFFVhX4kOWdGfMgJPWjl3eCOLzRi09QplPWEUo7JdGc4rGJJ9XM861C0tLootBLKyjTJ5VP2hm-RlDtrWQi_mnRdTLlaSomRj9zeLTUmHf-nBbYxZdLs/s400/IMG_0076_1.JPG" /> </div></div></div>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-17717157536154140352009-07-06T20:21:00.001-07:002009-07-06T21:13:20.446-07:00Dining with the Divas (Part 2 of 3)OK, so that was Friday night... Saturday we were invited to join the Poswall's (Peg and John) for a 4th of July Celebration at their house north of Newcastle where they have 50 acres almost all of which has been beautifully landscaped. Anyway, Peg Tomlinson-Poswall is also one of the Dining Divas and cooks and entertains at their lovely home on a weekly basis.<br /><br />For most of the day, we sat around the pool and laid on the sofas on the second level deck visiting and munching on a few snacks but when it came time to get serious about dinner, Peg disappeared into the kitchen where she began organizing an outstanding spread. About 3 hours before meal time, Peg put the ribs in the oven on about 225 for some slow cooking. The were pre-seasoned with a savory rub and served with droplettes (smaller than a drop) of Peg's special balsamic vinegar. Then came the vegetables... gazpacho was served before the meal and served with the main course were heirloom tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, corn on the cob, and Italian potato salad complements of Dani Luzatti (friend and neighbor) who was also at the get together. We also had beets and pasta salad prepared by Jackie (one of Peg's neighbors) that was as good a pasta salad as I've eaten.<br /><br />In addition to the great food, Tracy, the resident wine expert was there to make sure the pairings were perfect.... as did John. After dinner, we all went up to the tower and watched the fireworks show presented by John and Zabi. Most lasted well into the night up in the tower under a full moon. Others sneaked off to dream land.... guess which one I chose :-)<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355561713700350402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyP0M_0YJk-G0NuV7R0RewYnvtPP48ZJrfdIK1rJWy5gstaEdJn5oMqL1WUn1SoiWvAGDa8xIy-eN8MJaIC1oTXMMIyiEZvDKY3ze0skP6pEhF1i-dKeYxgPDIxdOuRZIeL7mblHbhjt0/s320/IMG_3568.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355564139010063490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6olM3cG4p6ZUTuw5Rlz_L2EAGwuNxCCTRhHUBpcPlmLBKIPf6g9KF053IIVc0yvPvHQdZyLduapHHGLPEYwhyphenhyphengr227ORTu892PghU8bwxRjF-S-GuTag_Ts3Z-8RaT2SvgPqfww37UI/s320/IMG_3579.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355561716866352498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGIXkji3W2ItH7lLJwnsPR_52aoTJQ-ctPYQ6Aj1k9L3Oyn9YRUmDDVhr9P190jVwdre1Kby5nmiaGknP-LA4QQQrhUC4q4drwmlnKxb4r3e67wxfUTZhbBUlcHGVv9fmzu2iCoBP72w/s320/IMG_3618.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355561715246747346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKi-xoJQxidrNhORCK9QP1cJrfHnk4CVjmn9HcD86CVeA1MB5hvh9sn6k7mY6D6bdlraAiIdKi-jXuUVniC15kDPqWkSzcyd6WMPo5saXfChn_jOK5bnDXRufDTMw_jb5UaKxJJMBdOBw/s320/IMG_3575.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355562373533003490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFceWWf1AGTcXnlW2UOySeC0P0ay-EuiWqkBWqmaxM80M5fDNdG3AoQ_y5ioXAVt040RWy2qJkkdB7i9kl3WLW6xBJL2-g_dFgppS_1ZP6-RNdx-tGfxrXtCLu0Ms3fgQuV9vJq0rDfA/s320/IMG_3642.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355561723007053954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyh3S1-MyTlIy7c_vVl5C-JBQcqmgHeKU0N7xb2RNgtepN7X1b_xyQJf8xPP3AZGJXxYdALyl11qgmg_zfeOAQCO-Mq52scM0xEJXfykaM3Hsw_zUrU75IflHNo5DTbSg4pK10ATnioJE/s320/IMG_3611.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355561726101472146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYLXWyd0pVZEKqMQdTk3bGIyI9F8NXzpP75fAqRCDJ7IJUZoro0aYfkBzB8JlbkpoA1cz9v7XEWQ1Fx_MIPOdNmb529fB437c29Y2C6DVCs6IHG-mZmwVo8Aqx3iuW_zJ4K_QjNbkQEOY/s320/IMG_3613.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355562370445771938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyvkNUJbtpNzathqkth9dWUnQkrhu-xD1ABmWgz2IQavJrvdUoeNLoFCiPK84JM4yHmk-Q4ARaC0D8hAL7FJq2Ohx_l_rxzmMS85-Q79vafKwPMYbiZQZ9EXCK1fi1HbljMA8wGqZk1Cs/s320/IMG_3632.jpg" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGR2lWnVKYyRJNy3Is-AptWMwoyzgj8A2naxHlM22PDJUBox2-XsmNZs4XRWEWC_oORsuR4rReoZnoRrrHNXwrrnWpcbwzwffE_TfSQ-UoYyIKXa9jqeTkdA30AkCGt9vmuvEgawOrcSE/s1600-h/IMG_3647.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355562383360232338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGR2lWnVKYyRJNy3Is-AptWMwoyzgj8A2naxHlM22PDJUBox2-XsmNZs4XRWEWC_oORsuR4rReoZnoRrrHNXwrrnWpcbwzwffE_TfSQ-UoYyIKXa9jqeTkdA30AkCGt9vmuvEgawOrcSE/s320/IMG_3647.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJfMSVBrW7zQq54ySX4wXXM2lbVwb42iFe9GHS4U4USwrSgMykcV0zyqcmIRjjoIi4XLGJFvyERTTzDOOU1P4PhhEX2GZxlGG0PndF9tyD_IwKvpzBXCxzdAGuywLHXwGbG17Z-lHSdI/s1600-h/IMG_3667.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355562375998756994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJfMSVBrW7zQq54ySX4wXXM2lbVwb42iFe9GHS4U4USwrSgMykcV0zyqcmIRjjoIi4XLGJFvyERTTzDOOU1P4PhhEX2GZxlGG0PndF9tyD_IwKvpzBXCxzdAGuywLHXwGbG17Z-lHSdI/s320/IMG_3667.jpg" /></a> One more post tomorrow on this incredible weekend...

Mary and I had the good fortune to get invited to dinner on Friday and then an overnight invite on Saturday and Sunday. These were no ordinary invites I might add. We were invited to dinner by 3 of the Dining Divas from Sacramento.<br /><br />Friday night we went to the newly remodeled home of Joan Lieneke. The kitchen was fabulous and Joan was gracious enough to give us the grand tour and talk about each cooking station and its features. Very, very impressive. The anchor of the kitchen was the wood burning oven in which almost the entire meal was cooked. We started with pizza appetizers that Joan put together at the baking station. We then moved to the table for a raw salmon kibbe that was to die for... The main course was oven baked quail and broccoli with gnocchi prepared by the 2nd of the 3 Dining Divas, Paulette Bruce.<br /><br />The quail was baked to perfection, the broccoli had a smoky flavor and the gnocchi was rich and creamy. We were also fortunate enough to have a wonderful bottle of BV Private Reserve that was 23 years old (provided by Jim and Debbie). For dessert, fresh fruit cup that was perfect after such a wonderful meal. Thanks Joan and Jake for having us over and Joan and Paulette for a perfect night out. Check out some of the photos...<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355226462524231378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_lz95HyX62jJYRhUNesAyJUqY0oAUGl7Z9dh5b9lasbZ-5dUPlNIBBfS5nHopSm4UEPYOG8tLNs7DvRBnrk81c4-jEWCIXzb2nDsauf9yWX5I9NJMCjZ46AlutUgPLOW0hyvBBS3lQE/s320/IMG_3507.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Well, the project is complete and my new website is up. I've also changed the name from Photo128 (long story about the name) to <a href="http://www.terrydaffinphotography.com/">Terry Daffin Photography </a>(shorter story that make sense). Check it out and let me know what you think. Also, on my last site, I had music. This site does not. What is your preference?<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353356215335293442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HS5MGsvmfG2Nz4oKPAsQJubFEzoTOrUPIXWqdlr3rDwb57R7r_1j5a_ByECUikDjqnMa29ygEGH-CNrn14QXJkthfa12_gJ5K0TYqcueF6vfKpUG9PTGf4adWZkyCXGcEpYY0Bb4_8E/s400/Splash+Page.jpg" />Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-24230397475994220982009-06-09T22:52:00.000-07:002009-06-09T23:38:00.278-07:00Diamond in the DunesOn Sunday, I was invited to preview a documentary film, <a href="http://www.documentaryfoundation.org/diamondinthedunes/">Diamond in the Dunes</a>, directed by Chris Rufo who is part of the <a href="http://www.documentaryfoundation.org/">Documentary Foundation</a> here in Sacramento. The film is about Parhat Ablat, a young Muslim minority from the deserts of Western China, who leads the fight against racial segregation through baseball. The 10 minute preview had me wanting more of the story not only because I love baseball but because of the passion for which these people embrace the game and what their only game of the season against a team of Tibetans from the Qinghai Province means.<br /><br />The story documents the struggles between two ethnic groups in the Xinjiang Province that band together to learn the game of baseball and for the chance to play in one game a year. The two groups live in almost total seperation speaking different languages, praciticing different religions, live and work in different neighborhoods and even set their watches two hours apart from on another.<br /><br />It's a story about breaking the lines of segregation through baseball.... sound familiar?<br /><br />Stop by the Foundation's site to get more information and buy a pre-sale copy of the film. You won't be sorry.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrUVLOJPPhxiL6lPV-YZbGZ42CKot7V30z8b5MVhq4qF4lxkjuMSM00laN7696bHC6RJnj0QlDDGUiHVtBGPntNYl6u4dH82R69ITwb5sdUzhNWM_y4Lxo3PipRHqHdBmvuIDtMZhHqc/s1600-h/diamond+in+the+dunes.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 189px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrUVLOJPPhxiL6lPV-YZbGZ42CKot7V30z8b5MVhq4qF4lxkjuMSM00laN7696bHC6RJnj0QlDDGUiHVtBGPntNYl6u4dH82R69ITwb5sdUzhNWM_y4Lxo3PipRHqHdBmvuIDtMZhHqc/s320/diamond+in+the+dunes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345584325610252818" /></a>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-80320973111375409242009-05-25T20:52:00.000-07:002009-05-26T08:25:20.832-07:00Walk and Rock for the Kids... and JourneyWhat an event! <a href="http://www.hopeproductions.org/">Hope Productions</a>, created to provide resources to support youth and children’s charities throughout the U.S., held an inagural event here in Sacramento Saturday, May 23rd.

Still very moving</p><p>So many of you know that Easter is one of the most important days of the year for Christians and there are many services during Easter week that Christians of all denominations participate in remembrance of the what Christ did for all. But one of the most moving services that Mary and I attend is the Good Friday, Veneration of the Cross at <a href="http://www.stfrancisparish.com/">St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church</a> in midtown Sacramento. </p><p>The service begins with the celebration of the Eucharist and then a huge cross is brought into the church where it is passed over the crowd where everyone has the opportunity to touch the cross symbolic of what Christ had to do as he carried His cross to Golgotha. After which the cross is laid on the floor of the church and people have the opportunity to step up to the cross, kneel, pray, and lay hands on the cross out of respect again to what Christ did for all in His death and resurrection. If you have never attended such a service, you are missing one of the most moving and emotional services of the season. Hope to see you at St. Francis next year on Good Friday. Halleluiah! He has risen!<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="400" id="showit_swf" data="http://www.photo128.com/thecross/showit.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.photo128.com/thecross/showit.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="showit_embed=http://www.photo128.com/thecross/|600|400|1|0|0" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="salign" value="LT" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="loop" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#333333" /></object>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-80447257846673699062009-04-08T21:33:00.000-07:002009-04-08T22:24:35.543-07:00Dinner with TyOK, I know it's been a long time since my last blog entry but I've been facebooking (now a verb) a lot and posting photos and videos.<br /><br />So anyway, it's been a couple of weeks or so but Mary and I had the pleasure of dining with the Kubicek's (Matt, Laurie and Ty). We had a great time visiting, the wine was excellent and the dinner fabulous. Thank you Matt and Laurie very much. And that Ty Kubicek... well, it's hard to describe what a pleasant young man he is. Anyone that knows the Kubicek's and Ty knows what I'm talking about but is hard to describe. He's free thinking, imaginitive, intuitive, bright, funny and can have meaningful dialog with adults.... and he's only 5 years. And that's the coolest thing about Ty is that he's 5 and plays in the backyard with big trucks, has a dog, and eats spaghetti like a kid should eat spaghetti...<br /><br />Thanks Ty for having us over. Can't wait to do it again...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEASJH1bW1XArjwfmOPTDEEfn9193thWw3e2rNcPSRGGGtH_QIPcmtzQZ6rZZqefD5G2B9qRQ4-WX-Y1oAgt-lxGLmRSp0NvWZjL5YQPbEhLQ4gXCGZOmxVdQCa6z-l4Ex0fh3-OKhpA/s1600-h/IMG_0267.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554715712574210" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEASJH1bW1XArjwfmOPTDEEfn9193thWw3e2rNcPSRGGGtH_QIPcmtzQZ6rZZqefD5G2B9qRQ4-WX-Y1oAgt-lxGLmRSp0NvWZjL5YQPbEhLQ4gXCGZOmxVdQCa6z-l4Ex0fh3-OKhpA/s320/IMG_0267.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4giQW_6SoInSE5goNVH6WfGRBp3xytvYRLXGCSSN_hNsi4Rn4wwoV6IzQu7qJa8voih7c0IkUlD6Y4UkSY74IDoUJvGcTsrIeWkRylUHut5oBpVQC_L0jbxr9X2srPGDCQibWPkubTRQ/s1600-h/IMG_0324.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554591261473362" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4giQW_6SoInSE5goNVH6WfGRBp3xytvYRLXGCSSN_hNsi4Rn4wwoV6IzQu7qJa8voih7c0IkUlD6Y4UkSY74IDoUJvGcTsrIeWkRylUHut5oBpVQC_L0jbxr9X2srPGDCQibWPkubTRQ/s320/IMG_0324.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-KEX5o4sxbkIaLTu66YWWw92UHQ5_sGyWGCSs1SQpZqB9sdi0uf3X5iNQ5QLkmDJwtdSslAl7m1K8oQs4XYnQUTZGiFdT_X_MMINUh42jQ4LT2pTQpWMcTigau-oqthkVU6kLsFjBXH4/s1600-h/IMG_0281.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554717362740658" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-KEX5o4sxbkIaLTu66YWWw92UHQ5_sGyWGCSs1SQpZqB9sdi0uf3X5iNQ5QLkmDJwtdSslAl7m1K8oQs4XYnQUTZGiFdT_X_MMINUh42jQ4LT2pTQpWMcTigau-oqthkVU6kLsFjBXH4/s320/IMG_0281.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEy_t1n4H83aH2KN7zlxphiteGAmCX6Ua6Na5vvL9b5P_aA-Jr5jkcDhDzZuaI8rlWTLPn-jG4TG-LWwy984xZTEJKGwI_jHF2e3SJGsECNc3S1_pZbrokVtsOrJxam_qEeJQkf9vueo/s1600-h/IMG_0394.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554589502352594" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEy_t1n4H83aH2KN7zlxphiteGAmCX6Ua6Na5vvL9b5P_aA-Jr5jkcDhDzZuaI8rlWTLPn-jG4TG-LWwy984xZTEJKGwI_jHF2e3SJGsECNc3S1_pZbrokVtsOrJxam_qEeJQkf9vueo/s320/IMG_0394.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLkV73KSv74tg6tMMfN2Xm-g8irgfZD1lOP8K4ssxFqvoehckcdqAe4SiZbnWGNOG2DQu8MPtSfbw5Uj5qokasuReS0k-_t6ywYPmcdtUdzkZ5NzslYfwXyqBuy9RuOziLB5Qu3lIMbs/s1600-h/IMG_0395.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554586594580914" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLkV73KSv74tg6tMMfN2Xm-g8irgfZD1lOP8K4ssxFqvoehckcdqAe4SiZbnWGNOG2DQu8MPtSfbw5Uj5qokasuReS0k-_t6ywYPmcdtUdzkZ5NzslYfwXyqBuy9RuOziLB5Qu3lIMbs/s320/IMG_0395.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJmAThP-rB3PMLiHruTKMQe0R3mWHxC7p8YAfafKfuJXCMgFEXp_GwsbH4bdqRtrw5I9ot3ECVCyDFoHb_4cf5Ejyzqf00FSH1eGBhzkg8hrVyemohxVm6ZCBzxG0JHfkzcAnK_hda4cE/s1600-h/IMG_0396.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554582739938898" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJmAThP-rB3PMLiHruTKMQe0R3mWHxC7p8YAfafKfuJXCMgFEXp_GwsbH4bdqRtrw5I9ot3ECVCyDFoHb_4cf5Ejyzqf00FSH1eGBhzkg8hrVyemohxVm6ZCBzxG0JHfkzcAnK_hda4cE/s320/IMG_0396.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLBhf4ok8b-rOXbelWByVIpdFe22YL5p4GOlvhJX9bHlH9lTb73w_zGKtpvJjYHVBtTmmj66SQpzF6Zwa98hOnPWtU-s5N48L2np6L9xuw-Dla6jVvMzznJ8cK7x3-ZCAqJAimnaXBHaA/s1600-h/IMG_0398.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322554583975986850" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLBhf4ok8b-rOXbelWByVIpdFe22YL5p4GOlvhJX9bHlH9lTb73w_zGKtpvJjYHVBtTmmj66SQpzF6Zwa98hOnPWtU-s5N48L2np6L9xuw-Dla6jVvMzznJ8cK7x3-ZCAqJAimnaXBHaA/s320/IMG_0398.jpg" border="0" /></a>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-8836406787460946182009-02-03T22:54:00.000-08:002009-02-03T23:26:48.034-08:00New Orleans BBQ ShrimpI know this is a photography blog but I just love to eat good food.

We live in a country where we live freely to go, do, live, think, say, be, what ever and where ever we want. I don't know if many other countries have as many freedoms as we do here. And in reflecting on that, my hope is that because of all the freedoms God has given to me, that I am able to give to others and glorify God while I do it... <div><div><div><div><div></div><br /><div>Here are a few photos of what I'm most thankful for....</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV9jFzItVjr2508xBJ-BzT7E_3ut1lDlW14ar83XpIo30OlzOLb33t9Fp1xn5rgAZeuJEjWkmZjyHOmUBsQaHGT9Zk84kMZoGeWkUP9o1hcgnWg5TVhlmfX5ugW73BBnFU1aNckD3jck/s1600-h/IMG_4236.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274727372348537042" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV9jFzItVjr2508xBJ-BzT7E_3ut1lDlW14ar83XpIo30OlzOLb33t9Fp1xn5rgAZeuJEjWkmZjyHOmUBsQaHGT9Zk84kMZoGeWkUP9o1hcgnWg5TVhlmfX5ugW73BBnFU1aNckD3jck/s320/IMG_4236.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxsF9t-zQ-Zllwme_4Zp_QLbLiegjuhuNuBEUEGZKVVBwm_DndS80rvKB6-M0Itm19T_Y6yffpH6W_VU4kuzf2gVKKRLMLTrgJcUSS39ov_hyphenhyphenbeW1Q6wgl5QfhAoPb7CJzpqCRroMqGM/s1600-h/IMG_4296.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274726522647643922" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxsF9t-zQ-Zllwme_4Zp_QLbLiegjuhuNuBEUEGZKVVBwm_DndS80rvKB6-M0Itm19T_Y6yffpH6W_VU4kuzf2gVKKRLMLTrgJcUSS39ov_hyphenhyphenbeW1Q6wgl5QfhAoPb7CJzpqCRroMqGM/s320/IMG_4296.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3zJxascT3FUGURMPoa4kF6zn6lI-Asre3ckS5K6vNn-gtGgMcZQpkh15zf_IAoFYf7QoPVM4dDxlulXvj5f9R1yAK_G9Q0E5Ntuhb6bHvWCJsWTzIXswjumbMjEnnXogh8Ti59Agxh88/s1600-h/IMG_4308.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274727375796559234" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3zJxascT3FUGURMPoa4kF6zn6lI-Asre3ckS5K6vNn-gtGgMcZQpkh15zf_IAoFYf7QoPVM4dDxlulXvj5f9R1yAK_G9Q0E5Ntuhb6bHvWCJsWTzIXswjumbMjEnnXogh8Ti59Agxh88/s320/IMG_4308.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtpC16zEka6Ii9o2f1boYrQqvnP0Bw1xhgK2o22BjyUTIb-BnP1NnCtzC03sH6_Qy-1OXQZVAl43ogF6rfbBp94ljCPYziu9xIp4RqsEOBU1tbKEXR9LvmkAhADUqWpbuidISe06kOPg/s1600-h/IMG_4333.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274727392579436562" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtpC16zEka6Ii9o2f1boYrQqvnP0Bw1xhgK2o22BjyUTIb-BnP1NnCtzC03sH6_Qy-1OXQZVAl43ogF6rfbBp94ljCPYziu9xIp4RqsEOBU1tbKEXR9LvmkAhADUqWpbuidISe06kOPg/s320/IMG_4333.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZEM08immHqKVSwmspD7Y1Xa1YY_rYVX9fjYiVxz2Y1e0vXPovAM6Dx7aLfWqf8HCRZPzXwohibamtDhVhkO2Y-iVRqr-YHbXwriFfawXgekhLNo-lFydlgC_g59VT-XQDErkCWZ4HfA/s1600-h/IMG_4326.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274727381346038242" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZEM08immHqKVSwmspD7Y1Xa1YY_rYVX9fjYiVxz2Y1e0vXPovAM6Dx7aLfWqf8HCRZPzXwohibamtDhVhkO2Y-iVRqr-YHbXwriFfawXgekhLNo-lFydlgC_g59VT-XQDErkCWZ4HfA/s320/IMG_4326.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-29689390673924487702008-11-19T22:24:00.000-08:002008-11-19T23:28:37.835-08:00Corn and Shrimp Soup<p>This one of my favorite recipes...

I was there shooting for the event and I was exhausted afterward. So much so, that I went on a little trip to the Grand Canyon with my brother, Tim and his two girls, Emma and Katie. <br /><br />We stayed in Williams, AZ. and drove north to visit the GC but while we were in Williams, the girls wanted me to do a photo shoot with them (my brother did too). So we went into old town Williams as the sun was setting and had some fun. And with very little direction, these girls knew what to do.... My brother is in big trouble....

The show was called Emotions and it was awesome! So I took a little over 7,500 pictures over a four month period and now I'm putting together a book for them to document the experience. It was totally fun to be around the ladies and watch the energy, enthusiasm, spirit and passion they have for dance. And I have to tell you, I was totally in awe of what I saw them do between the long hours of practice to the choregraphy to the promotion of their event, these ladies are professionals. <br /><br />So here's another fun clip I made with a cool on-line video maker called <a href="http://animoto.com/">Animoto</a> with some of the practice photos I took. Check it out...<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/46928cc51133af17/48bc6409002e2865/46928cc5788deb29/2e0ae8e9/widget.js"></script>Terry Daffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05592512298131136479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869804079771478319.post-18644605774465423682008-08-24T09:01:00.000-07:002008-08-24T09:24:16.769-07:00Football is in the AirIf you've read the "Inside Info" on my website, you know that I've said that I think football is stupid even though I played the game in college. What I really meant was that at my age, it's silly to think you can still play. :-) But even so when I have an opportunity to get down on the field and close to the action, that's what happens... I want to put on the gear and get out there and bang some heads... see, isn't that silly. <div><div><div><div><br /><div></div><div>I had the opportunity to go to Hornet Field, home of the Sacramento State Hornets to watch a scrimage. I was also at field level so I was able to get real close to the action. Then I stood next to some of the guys... they're a lot bigger than I remembered.</div><div></div><br /><div>I happen to know the head coach, Marshall Sperbeck, so it's possible that I'll be able to go down to field level for the real thing and take some pictures. From what I saw on Saturday, it's much safer on the side lines... Check out some of the shots... </div><div><a

Almost 6 years ago now, a good friend and writer/director, Sarah Kreutz asked Mary to read a part for the movie she was making. Mary got the part Casandra Sybil and the rest is history.<br /><br /><div><div><div></div><div>Elsa Letterseed is the story of a young violin prodigy who experiences a phenomenon, which renders her genius musical gifts useless. Unable to perform and provide income, her parents place her in a mental hospital for a brief stay. Years later, Elsa is now out on her own, struggling to survive.

Webb's Bada Bling is create a time lapse video of the event. I started on Wednesday night prior to the event and ended on Sunday morning after the strike. Actually, it ended a little shy of the complete strike... one of the strikers moved the camera so I was taking pictures of the corner of the room for a while. In any case, here's what happend during the 5 days the camera was taking pictures from set-up, rehearsals, the event, and the strike.

It is totally <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">customizable</span>... and it's FREE. We design together and I will build and host the site.

So Mary and I had a very busy weekend... major trip to Home Depot for lighting, Sacramento Rivercats Baseball, Dinner on Sunday with some really good friends in Granite Bay, but the highlight of the weekend was Saturday night. Bobby and Wendy Fresques invited us to a Court Party in their neighborhood. What a great turn out. There were 80 to 100 neighbors and friends and plenty food and drink. They even had a Latin Jazz band that ROCKED!! the neighborhood. As it started to cool down and folks were feeling a little less inhibited, a little salsa dancing broke out and started to liven things up a bit. But I think the best of the night goes to the Fresques Girls who were dancing in the street till the wee hours... talk about shakin' it up...

What a beautiful venue for a wedding. The wedding ceremony was at <a href="http://stjohnsnv.tripod.com/">St. John's in the Wilderness Episcopal Church</a> and the reception was adjacent to the church at <a href="http://www.galileetahoe.org/">Camp Galilee</a>. The groom was the brother of a really good friend of mine whose wedding I shot 2 years ago so I already knew many of the family members is attendance. The bride was a little nervous (to be expected) but gracefully composed as she entered the church and walked to the alter where there was a huge window overlooking the Lake Tahoe. After the wedding ceremony, toasts, and dinner, we all went down to the lake for a walk on the beach.
