Since My Last Posting

A lot has been going on. In the last few weeks, I have moved up the career ladder, had my wisdom teeth removed, and found a renewed focus on business.

I was pleased to move up the career ladder. It has been a learning experience in the last almost five years in this portion of my career. This is my second promotion. It has offered a bit of validation from the office. I makes me feel good.

After having my tonsils taken out eight years ago, last month I had my wisdom teeth removed. It was a real experience in the fact that I should have done this a long time ago. I am still dealing with some soreness but I am no where near the pain I was in from the dry sockets. Oh my, I would never wish that on my worst enemy.

Look for new and exciting products and services from Stewie Hues Media. The next year will be exciting. I look forward to working with you.

Neglect or Life

Either way you look at it. I have been away from my blog for too long. Look for some updates coming soon!!!

Missing you has made me more fond of you. You dissing me has made me more strong. Seeing you try with others and fail, I know you won't be gone for long.

I Love Football

i wanted to remind everyone the NFL season starts tonight with the Steelers and Titans on NBC. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will call the action from Heinz Field.

American football is the meat and potatoes sport of this country. With all the controversy of baseball, the individualism of basketball, with the intermittent interest in hockey and soccer football is what binds America. From Pop Warner football the Friday night high school games, we have a sport that brings people together.

There have been many that have come and gone from the sport. I will never forget one of the greatest days of my life. September 5, 1983 at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, I saw my first NFL Game. I am still in disbelief of what I saw to this day. I had seen the upper deck move on TV. I had heard the screaming fans. But until I witnessed it, I could not quantify such a happening.

Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys were back in town to play the Super Bowl champs. There was high anticipation. This game was the first reqular season game of Darrell Green's career. Howard Cosell was chastised and later departed ABC shortly after calling Washington Redskin Alvin Garrett a "little monkey" as he made a reception. I twas also the reunion of Danny White and Dexter Manley. Manley took White out of the previous matchup in the NFC Championship game with a concussion. white was replaced by Gary Hogeboom, who later was apart of the TV show Survivor. Oh yeah the 'Boys won 31-30. We sat in Section 318 Row 12 Seats 1 and 2. White threw a touchdown pass at our end zone seats to win the game. Rafael Septian's extra point gave Dallas the advantage.



As for college football, the Wolverines are off to a winning start. Coach Rich Rodriguez has some contraversy with team practices but that will soon pass. I wish all the Wolverines the best this year. Go Blue!!!

Some Things are Worth It

After expecting yesterday to be a bad day, I learned something. You just have to play the hand that you are dealt and everything will work out. There were about three schedule conflicts that were geographically scattered. But somehow I was able to overcome the distances and timing for a perfect day. Did I mention at one point there was ZERO visibility on the interstate for several miles?

Its all about meeting goals and taking on opportunity. Focusing on the big picture of things that have to be done. Also I want to let everyone know about Marc Davis from Silver Spring, MD. This young man is working his way up the motor sports ladder.

Not Looking Forward to the Third

They say things happen in threes. In the last week I have lost a member of my high school graduating class and a person who I truly admired. Both were to sudden cardiac arrest. I am still baffled by the loss of Brian, 35 married withthree beautiful daughters. Gone, boom, just like that.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to Brian E. Paap Children’s Education Fund, c/o Toni Paap, Bank of America, 42030 Village Center Plaza, Aldie, Virginia 20105.

Thank You Poole

Today I return to my most favorite race track in the NASCAR circuit. But there will be something missing. Talented author and journalist David Poole will not be in the mix. Poole passed away shortly after his Sirius radio show on Tuesday morning.

Poole was not always popular with everyone all the time. I considered him Mr. Independent in NASCAR much like Lou Dobbs on CNN. Often times he would speakout for those who didn't have a voice. One incident I can remember was the rain delay confusion at Fontana, California. For what is was worth he had the back of all the fans that stuck it out through was it four days of rain. I will miss his Monday morning recaps of his travel adventures. I recall tuning into Sirius and they were still replaying shows from the previous day. It was one of those mornings, Poole had to get up early since he was on the west coast for the 7am EST show. When he arrived at the track it was a comedy of errors. He finally was able to go live on the air within a few minutes of the beginning of the show.

I could go on and on about Poole but the fact is that he is gone. I will always remember that he took to respond to an email I sent to him thanking him for his opinions and comments on motorsports. His reply was true and genuine in Poole fashion. It was simply, "Thank You." To the Poole family who dealt with him traveling and allowing him to become part of our lives I say to them, "Thank You."

Ode to the Symphony

I was fortunate enough to attend the Roanoke Symphony. They had a performance entitled "Behind the Silence." It was a moving tribute to the composers of the Holocaust. It has been a long while since, I have attend such a performance. It was breathetaking.

I was rather entrigued by some of the pieces and mezmorized by others. But one thing for sure I was both educated and well entertained by the end of the evening. I challenge each of you to take in the arts at a venue near you. It could open up a new door of opportunity.

New Look!!!!

My website now has a new look. Check it out at http://www.stewiehuesmedia.com. I hope you enjoy.

I look forward to feedback from everyone.

Photographer For Challenge...

Listening to my variety of music and going through slides and negatives of yesteryear. I am looking for challenging projects. I want to do something different. I am on the verge of it now. But I want to keep up the variety.

Things are confusing right now. I hate doing taxes. ICK ICK ICK.

Looking Out the Window

I often wonder where would I be? But guess what? I am here!!!

Thank You Dear Friend

I want to thank a dear friend for helping me realize an important thing. Sometimes the opportunities we are denied in life are truly blessings. With that said, I am refocusing my energy to new and positive projects. Continuing will be the ongoing expansion of my portfolio. I am also working on several projects on life.

I have started last week putting them together. They should be be powerful. Some of the projects are compilations of work by myself and other artists.

Going to bed now.

I am back....

It's been almost two weeks since my last post. So here it is. A lot of challenges have come to me lately as they do with all of us. But with each challenge there is reward. These rewards have come with recognition and appreciation.

It's good to reunite with old friends. I have recently discovered that often the good things about people don't change just their surroundings. Most of us seem to grow into new jobs, responsibilities and the like.

I am happy this morning as I was surrounded by friends and catching up on the journey down life's highway.

New Concepts

It looks like things keep picking up. I hope things aren't picking up too fast for me. The best way is the steady way. Things are good but, getting too busy could lead to disaster. It could help me get over this senseless time to babble and just SHOOT photos.

Shooting is what I love to do. In the next few projects I am going to try and use some different concepts. They aren't necessarily new but will add some variety. Look for it sooner than later. Just waiting to schedule the next model shoot to try these concepts.

Life's Full Circle Teachers

Sometimes the journey down life's highway puts you back with people from your past. Other times you are able to help others go back in time to help them realize how they came to be. A dear friend of mine is an aspiring educator. She never was able to know her grandmother who was a life long educator. As a former student of her grandmother, she will often ask me about what type of teacher she was. It warms my heart to do that. She told me last night that she has wanted to be a teacher all of her life. I think that is awesome.

I wish her the best in her career. She should do well. She has a great driver for what she does. It's nothing short of a truly love of what she does. We should thank people like her to continue a tradition of teaching.

Tyler Perry Movies

I love all of Tyler Perry movies.  He has encompassed the life of many Americans.  His work is something that connects me to a different time and place but with a message of here and today.  I often think of deaf ears to my challenges.  It's good to know there are still some constructive talents and able to entertain.

Wedding Moved Up

One of the weddings scheduled for October has now moved up to March. I am excited. This will be another wonderful event!!! The wedding is going to be indoors in the evening so this should be interesting. Time to breakout the studio strobes.

Let the Music Flow!!

I love live acoustic music. There is nothing quite like it.

Thanks...
