For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time, must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.
This is an awesome family movie!

As some of you may know last year I was one of 8,000 photographers that took part in Scott Kelby's 1st Annual Worldwide Photowalk. this event took place simultaneously on the same day
47 Countries had participating cities
44 States in the US had PhotoWalks
We had a total of 236 cities worldwide
More than 1,017,125 photos were taken on walks that day

Well guess what?????? (I'm so excited!!). The time has come for the 2nd annual event. It will take place on Saturday July 18th. On that day photographers from around the world will walk thru their city and take pictures randomly. Last year I attended the Michigan Avenue walk and let me tell you, it was so much fun! But that's not even the best part. Ready?....
I have been selected to lead a Photowalk!!! That's right....me!!!!! Whooooo-hooooooo!!!!
My photowalk will take place at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, but get this...there's only room for 50 people to come with.
To sign up go to the link at the left of this blog and sign up. This is gonna be bigger than last year baby...yeeaaaaaahhhh!!!!
Update!!! As a photowalk leader I also get to choose the best photo of the day from among my group and that photographer will also receive a free copy of the book. Here is the book:

So...I saw the new movie theother day and it was....freakin' awesome!!!! I have been a huge Sat Trek fan since childhood and I've probably seen every episode of the original series as well as the Next Generation. This movie makes lots of sense even to those who don't know the Star Trek storyline.

The way they explained how the original crew got together makes total sense and there were surprises throughout the film (which I won;t give away...you'll have to see it yourself...sorry). The special effects were pretty darn good on this one I must say.

This movie is so good I think I might go see it again...I'm sure there's things that I might have missed. I love the dynamics between Kirk and Spock...the actors were well-picked and they interacted perfectly with each other.

Bruce Willis is back baby!!!!!!
Here is the first trailer for the awesome movie Surrogates, starring possibly the best actor out there today Bruce Willis! The movie takes place in the future where people can buy robots of themselves and not leave home but have their robot go out and live their lives. People can control their other "self" from home, feel what they feel, see what they see, etc. But what happens when a surrogate kills??? I can't wait to find out, this looks like a good movie. God, I love Bruce Willis!!

Against All Odds
I love this song, especially thru the talented crystal clear voice of Mariah Carey. That woman can sing! This song is about what happens when someone leaves a relationship and the effects it can have on the person being left behind. Lyrics are below the video.
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
