			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow!  What a start to what seems to be one of the best <strong>MerleFest</strong> in years.  I am a photographer for MerleFest so I was able to walk around today and enjoy the great bands that played as well as capture moments within the festival.  Usually, Thursdays are a little bit boring.  Most of the larger acts don&#8217;t play until Friday or Saturday but that is not the case with this year.  Earlier in the day, the<strong> Duhks</strong> played a killer set on the Watson Stage and later in the night, <strong>Taj Mahal</strong> and <strong>Zac Brown Band</strong> entertained like no other.  It was truly a great start to an already amazing festival.  Fridays line up promises to be a great day of music with performances from <strong>Dierks Bentley</strong>, <strong>Sam Bush</strong>, and <strong>Little Feat</strong>.  I will be posting photos tomorrow night of Friday&#8217;s performances.  Until then, enjoy these shots taken today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For some time now, I have been pondering on the word <a title="Earlier Blog Post" href="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/2010/01/cultivate/">Cultivate</a> and how it correlates to relationships.  Relationships are with out a doubt some of the most important things we come across in life and they take time and effort.  They have to be tended to and nursed into maturity.  No matter what kind of relationship you may be in, it can be difficult to grow the relationship into a healthy one without guidance and encouragement and that is what <strong>the Cultivate Project</strong> is going to be about.</p>
<p><strong>The Cultivate Project</strong> will be a series of blogs that deal with relationships and how to nurse and grow them into something unimaginable through the implementation of Scriptural ideas and concepts.  Several pastors that I consider to be great friends will be guest bloggers to give encouragement and guidance.  Although everything isn&#8217;t set in stone yet, we are all very excited about this new project and we hope to make an impact on people and how they treat and develop their relationships with others.  <strong>The Cultivate Project</strong> will tentatively launch in July.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">More information will be posted soon but until then, enjoy the poster above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/facebookfast1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-244 aligncenter" title="Adam Minton - One Month Facebook Fast" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/facebookfast1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>April is just around the corner and my life has never been more busy. I&#8217;m finishing up my undergraduate degree at Appalachian State University, planning an amazing wedding with my best friend, planning a relocation and attempting to restructure my business. I enjoy it all but at some point or another, something has to give.</p>
<p>Yesterday, as I was browsing through some tweets, I realized that instead of focusing all my attention on things of importance, I was waisting time on several social network sites like twitter and Facebook. I was somewhat taken back by the fact. How did it get to point that twitter and Facebook had priority over my work, family and life?</p>
<p>This is going to change.</p>
<p>Starting April 1st, I will be embarking on a month long social networking fast. No twitter. No Facebook. Nothing. This is a very important time in my life and complete attention to detail is needed to plan out the next few months and years of my business and new family. Since I will be focusing using time on my business, I will still continue to blog being that it is a highly important part to any photographers business.</p>
<p>Several people have asked me if this is some form of April fools joke but it is, in fact, no joke. It is simply time to push aside the less important, time consuming things in order to accomplish more important, life changing things.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited about the month of April. Song long for now Facebook.  I will see you in May.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AdamMintonPhoto.com has finally gotten a well deserved and needed update.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-225" title="The new AdamMintonPhoto.com" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-1-1024x535.png" alt="www.adammintonphoto.com" width="614" height="321" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Casey and I are very excited about what the future holds for us and because of that, we thought it best to update the site and get ready for the rest of 2010 and the years to come.  The new site boasts some new images that have previously never been posted before.  While preparing for the new site, I basically went through most of my portfolio and reworked every image.  It has been a long but enjoyable process.  At this moment in time, the new site showcases about 1/3 of the portfolio I like to share.  Hopefully, within the next month or so, all of my portfolio will be available for viewing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I hope you enjoy the changes.  New images will be posted bi-weekly so keep an eye out for new work.  Feel free to give feedback as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Until then, mosey on over to <a title="Adam Minton - North Carolina &amp; Virginia Wedding and Portrait Photographer" href="http://www.adammintonphoto.com" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">www.adammintonphoto.com</span></span></a> and check out the new site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thanks for all of your support.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Adam &amp; Casey</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010 looks to be very promising.  I have a ton of things planned for my photography and personal life.  As far as photography goes, you will be seeing more and more work on my site and this blog because I am challenging myself to shoot a certain amount of images per month.  I am shooting more weddings this year as well so expect more and more images of love birds on here.</p>
<p>In my personal life, I have some exciting things coming up.  First, I will be getting married in August.  How stinking exciting is that?  I can answer that&#8230; VERY EXCITING. Secondly, I will be turning 23.  That honestly isn&#8217;t that exciting but still note worthy I think.  Thirdly, I will be reading all of the Lord of the Rings books.  I got them all for Christmas and my goal is to read through all of them.  I&#8217;m really, really good at starting books but I think the whole finishing a book thing is a little over rated.  2010, however, is the year of finishing books.</p>
<p>New wife, new work and new books.  2010, here I come.</p>

<p>I am very excited.  I started playing the Prince of Persia games when I was about 12 on the Super Nintendo.  To see that a production company has finally picked up this wonderful story line is very exciting and I cannot wait until Summer 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it has taken me a good number of months but I have fully updated my portfolio.  It seems that every time I began to update things, something else got in the way of completing it.  Tonight, after fixing a wonderful bowl of chicken and rice soup and a delectable pepper jack grilled cheese, I told myself that tonight was the night and indeed it was.  I love the feeling you get when you set your mind to something and accomplish it.  Consider my Rocky Balboa for the night.</p>
<p><a title="Updated Portfolio" href="http://www.adammintonphoto.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank">Updated Portfolio</a></p>
<p>Below are some images from the updated gallery that I have yet to post.  There are some tweaks that still need to go on but for the moment, everything is just fine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-115" title="Love and War" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/love-5.jpg" alt="Love and War" width="560" height="373" /><img class="size-full wp-image-117 aligncenter" title="Watts Wedding" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/love-29.jpg" alt="Watts Wedding" width="560" height="373" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-116" title="Clark Wedding" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/love-19.jpg" alt="Clark Wedding" width="560" height="373" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-118" title="Leatherwood Wedding" src="http://adammintonphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/love-35.jpg" alt="Leatherwood Wedding" width="560" height="373" /></p>
