Best Face of January 2011: BusyDad

I spy @Busydadblog

Meet Jim aka BusyDad or @BusyDadBlog.

I met Jim at BlogHer09′ when he handed me a Lego with this blog address on it. That Lego was his business card.  He is creative like that.

Jim was a speaker at Blissdom this past week.  I took this photo upon my first sight of Jim at the conference.  I had to capture Jim wearing his Official Lisa Leonard Blissdom necklace.  I used the Instagram app on my iPhone. This photo is priceless and may or may not haunt him forever. And Jim speaking, well that was priceless…and included bacon, unicorns, and ninjas, of course.

but that is ok, cause I’m not even done editing photos yet.

I’m choosing this for my Best Face in January for the I Heart Faces Photo Contest this week.

Hanging with Harry Connick Jr.

On Friday night at Blissdom, we had a special treat. We had a private performance from Harry Connick Jr. How awesome is that.  I’m quite pushy and made my way to the front of the crowd. It also helped that my friends were also standing in the front. He put on a great performance and also talked to us about the projects he’s involved in. The best part of all though? We got to take a photograph with Harry. Isn’t that awesome?

I was also able to capture some of Harry’s performance on my camera and my little Flip video camera.  I was like the paparazzi trying to get my photos in.  Just imagine fifteen women (bloggers, even worse) trying to get the best photos and videos of the performance. It was quite funny.  At one point, I was literally taking photos over JJ’s head while she squatted down. Be forewarned though, my video is not the greatest.  You can tell many people were also trying to get photos and videos, because there are parts were people’s arms got in the way.

Nashville’s Newest Stars

As you know that I attended the Blissdom Conference in Nashville last weekend.  And if you didn’t know this, well you must not read my blog.  I mean really, who wouldn’t read my blog.  Anyway, I lost my camera charger for my SLR somewhere in my house.  My camera died halfway through Saturday night. I was pretty bummed because I knew that the night was young, and there were pictures to take.

They had this great Casual Pajama Party and Movie Night Planned.  It was great,e veryone dressed really comfortable.  There was food and snacks.  But I knew it would good if I stayed around for awhile. I was only able to take 2-3 photographs while I was there. But then, the fun began.  Hmmm, oh yes, karaoke……cause you know karaoke brings out the magic in people.  Everyone becomes a professional singer. Even bloggers.  I saw some great entertainment when the karaoke began. But really, I’m so glad that I had my purse with me. My purse is always full of junk, but I had an epiphany…you see, I had my Flip Mino in my purse. How awesome is that! I love this little mini video camera.

Because it captures awesome events like this…

P.S. If you don’t know who this duet is, well…you need to get out more, or online more. It’s Tanis, The Redneck Mommy and Jim, Busy Dad.

P.P.S. I suck at editing videos. Really, I don’t know what I’m doing.  HELP!!
