Book Signing

On April 25, 2013, For Underdogs Only had a book signing at Tustin High School's Open House (Light Up the Night). Players from the book, including DeShaun Foster, Winter Welz, Tom Giebe, Edward Tandy, Frank Frappier, Ricky Miller, and Myron Miller were all on hand to sign. Best selling author, Kim Robinson, was personally signing books as well. Kim read an excerpt from the book and debuted the book trailer filmed and edited by teacher, Mr. Zimora and a Tustin High student. All hands were on deck as former students, faculty, and friends were there to support Kim and her first book. It was a great night and here are some pictures documenting the event. Congrats Kim!!

" 'I don't think I'm worthy enough to have book written about me, but you go ahead and write it. You are following your dreams and I like people that march to their own drum.' And my dream since  I was eight-years-old has come true." -Kim Robinson on Myron Miller

OC Fair Potentials

To all of those that read my blog-

First of all thank you for being supportive of my art. I love it and definitely have my favorite shoots!!! Now it's time to participate. If you click here you can voice your opinion on my art. Yes, I know it's subjective BUT you can vote for your favorites and hopefully it will be one that I enter into the Orange County Fair!!! Here's how it works:

From TODAY 3/9/13- 3/17/13 you can vote for as many photos as you like. Obviously, only two votes per photo (one comment and one like). After 3/17/13 I will take down the album and put up the top 25 and continue until I get to the top 5-7 photos. Then I enter those photos into the fair. God willing, they all get picked to judge. If any photos (hopefully all) are picked, the fair will notify me and then I mat and frame the photos. The photos then get to the fair prior to opening weekend. They will then be judged and hopefully get a ribbon or something!

But I'm very excited and will also be in a photography competition on August 1 at the fair. So come by and support!! I will keep you all posted!!! Thank you!!

Sincerely,

Kara Russek

About Me: The Girl Behind the Camera

I just realized that I don't have my name anywhere on this blog. HA! My name is Kara Russek and chances are I'm younger than you. I was born and raised in the OC and am blessed beyond words to be able to grow up and live here. I am loving everything about my Devon Bella brand and am enjoying watching it mature into something awesome. I love hunting for new spots to shoot, but in my opinion, nothing beats the beach. I also do a lot of landscape and scenery stuff so if you want something in particular, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

This blog is where I get to share my photos. I'm just messing around and teaching myself. I'm definitely not perfect but I'm certainly trying. I've always been the one with a camera and documenting e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Photography has been a passion of mine since my parents gave me a little point and shoot Kodak for my 16th birthday. I've upgraded a bit, so now my Nikon DSLR 3000 has been assisting me in capturing the moment since June 2010. Hopefully it will one day capture a special moment of yours! Enjoy the blog and spread the word please!!!
