Thank you very much for Skype

So thanks to Skype, my lovely wife is able to video chat with her family in Pakistan. It still amazes me that we can see them in real time from half way around the world. Insanely freaking cool. Tonight, Qurrat's sister wanted to talk to her, so today's picture is my little sister-in-law on the computer screen during our video chat.

Also, last night was my good friend Emily's birthday. We went out to a Mexican restaurant in Hollywood called El Compadre. We had a good time hanging out with Darren and Emily. And I got to talk to my new photography idol, Darren's sister, Michelle. She takes some of the coolest pictures ever and I want to be just like her when I grow up. Check out her blog to see some of her photos. Below is a picture of Emily and Michelle from last night. That's right, you guys get 2 pictures today. So lucky you are...



SS Motorsports PhotoShoot

SS Motorsports is one of our customers at Simi Valley Car Wash and they often bring their cars in to get washed. So while speaking to the owner of the company, he let me take some pictures of 2 of their cars. The one below is a Chrysler 300 that has some pretty sweet rims and air bags to lower and raise the car. It was awesome going up and down and up and down and up and down....

Day 1....

So I have decided to create a blog. Not sure why. I guess everyone else is doing it, so why not jump on the bandwagon. I also wanted to do a little project where I post a new picture every day. Atleast, that is the goal. There may be days where I post a few pictures to make up for previous missed days. But hopefully after 1 year, I will have 365 pictures posted on this blog.
I have seen other people do 365 projects on Flickr and other blogs. They always seem cool, but a lot of them end up stalling after a while. My goal is to keep this going for the next year. If it doesn't, I give you permission to make fun of me (although I would prefer it if you didn't). So here we go!!!

This first picture is of a new baby boy that was born to my good friends, Qasim and Arwa. In our culture, the baby is named 6 days after he/she is born. This is from the naming ceremony.

Welcome to the world Tayyeb!!!
