The Wedding ScrapBooth

This past weekend four of my friends got married and people came from all over the place to be there for this beautiful double wedding. After the wedding we had a fun reception in the evening, but one thing which was different for me was "The Scrapbooth". Basically you pay for this company to bring an instant photobooth to your event and everyone takes pictures of themself. They then cut them out and past them in a "scrapbook" and write stuff next to the pictures with gold/silver pens. (this is then given as a gift to the couple). It’s a great idea and I thought it was lots of fun.

You can also view all the pictures online and download them (which I did). It was fun and interesting to see how people morphed into comedic people with different personalities as they stepped into the photo booth with friends. All kinds of personalities came out, which is evident as you look at the pictures. Normally introverted people just "came out"as the entered into the photo booth.

I made a quick little video in Picasa (a must have photo program) to show you some of the pictures from the evening. First part in time lapse mode really fast, and then the second part a bit slower.

Sahaj Singh

On Thursday October 2nd, a good friend of mine, Sahaj Singh was stabbed nine times confronting an intruder in the garage of his home.  The assailant was attempting to gain access to his wife’s vehicle after his wife and two young children had returned home.  Sahaj Singh sustained nine knife wounds, including one that punctured his larynx (throat).  He was flown to University Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he underwent emergency surgery to repair his neck injury.

Sahaj Singh is a Paramedic with Espanola Valley Emergency Medical Services and an instructor for the Para-Rescue Program of the United States Air Force, and a co-lead instructor with the Paramedic Training Program at Santa Fe Community College, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Sahaj Singh is more accustomed to being the one treating people in need, but now is his time to receive the support and love of those around him.  It is expected that he will be out of work for 4-6 week.
