time flies

It has been a while since my last post and I am happy to say a lot has changed in the past month.  First being that I have a new photography website in which I welcome you all to visit promptly.
www.julielevyphotography.com

And yes, there is another blog on my website.  While that blog will be more focused on recent photos this one will remain as my public journal of verbal diarrhoea.  God, I hate that word.  Is that even the correct spelling?  You know what, don't answer that.

The other big news is that I have a new job.  Everything my professional experience has been training me for...craft beer representative.  Bam!  For the next month (trial period) I will be that annoying beer sales(man) who visits restaurants between lunch and dinner rushes hoping to pin down the person in charge.  Lucky for me I have a great product to push, O'hara's ales from Carlow Brewing.  The restaurants are new territory for them and it is my job to prove it a lucrative one.  Wish me luck.

In other news we were in northern Spain last week for a family wedding and I had a blast pretending I was photography student fulfilling class assignments with my point and shoot.  Some fun photos on my new blog here.  And for the generic holiday photos go here.

Wow, I am really taking this more words than photos thing seriously huh?  Here's something to break it up.  The only photo of me and Niall from the wedding.

We ate more than we should have but I do no regret it in the slightest.  Here is the menu from our Sunday lunch with the family (all homemade) and complete with you choice of txakoli (delicious white wine of the region), kalimotxo (shitty red wine mixed with coke) or beer.

First course (my favorite)
boquerones (marinated anchovies)
jamón serrano
devilled eggs
ham and cheese croquets
pickled white asparagus
percebes (barnacles)

Second course
bacalao (cooked cod fish in butter and oil)
fried fish
steam clams

Third course
pan seared t-bone steaks
fried pimientos de garnica

Dessert 
homemade flan
cake
coffee

It doesn't seem like a lot when I write it all out but needless to say I immediately headed for the couch afterwards.  Zzzzzz....

Creative Mornings Dublin - Number One

31 May Friday @ half eight in the morning

Last week I had the privilege of photographing the first ever Creative Mornings in Dublin and I am delighted to report that it was a huge success.  Please check out the link above if you have never heard of Creative Mornings.  You may be surprised to find one in your city.  :-)

Our first speaker was Brian McMahon of Brand New Retro, a successful blog full of new scans of old-school Irish ad material (Dad, you will get a kick out of it).  The video of the presentation has yet to be completed, however you can view my photos from the event here.

Enjoy!

getting married

Yes, I am getting married.  And one of these days we will get around to actually having a wedding.  In the mean time, do you know anyone getting married?  Are they in need of a wedding photographer?  It just so happens that I photograph weddings!
