So, what did you eat for breakfast this morning, JD asked during our first of multiple daily conversations.
Oh, the same thing I ate for breakfast and lunch for the past two days.
Honey Nut Cheerios?! Again?! You’re not serious…
Tragically, I am.
Jaz, you need to go buy groceries. What are you going to eat for lunch?
A salad.
Great! You’re going shopping?
Pffft! Who has time for groceries…I’m going out to lunch!

A while ago, Jen Harris and Melissa McClure contacted me after reading a blurb on [b]ecker’s blog. Becker wants to meet with new photographers when he gets the chance, so as long as they buy lunch, he’s down to drop knowledge. Cool idea, right? Yeah, I thought so too. That is, of course, until Jen and Melissa offered to drive from Corona and San Diego respectively and meet with me. To pick my brain, to talk shop, and bounce ideas off each other.

At first I thought it was a joke, but when their sincerity was consistently reaffirmed—and they offered to buy lunch!—I stepped away from my computer and stacks of moving boxes and met them for an afternoon of great times.

Melissa and Jen, thanks for everything…I can’t wait for the amazing things you’ll do in the near future! Lastly, thanks for the blog-lovin’…your comments and feedback is always appreciated 🙂

Here are a few pictures…

Melissa, Me and Jen…

Us looking our best…
