What We've Been Up To

We recently had some pictures taken in Hawaii by Brad from Reve photography. Brad (pictured below) will also be taking our wedding photos.

What is a Ghunnie?

Good question. The root of the answer lies in my poor typing skills. I probably couldn't type 40 words per minute if I had four hands. Actually that's not true. I can type twice that many, but few would be easily recognizable as English. Hence my instant message to Maureen 3 years ago went from "hunnie" to "ghunnie" (man that g is awfully close to that h) in one crazed keystroke moment. The name stuck. Now that I think about it, maybe the key did too.

The ghunnies have other family members. Frankie (a siamese mix) and Cleo (a tortie point siamese) actually believe they are the senior members of the ghunnie family.

The Two Shot

The Two-Shot was born in July of 2003. It was created by the joining of two powerful forces and the need to document that union. It was born from necessity. Someone needed to capture the image of the Two, but the idea of enlisting another to take part was, well, two plus one. And as everyone knows, that makes three, not Two.

The Two-Shots were not limited to the beach, or to the daytime for that matter. The Ghunnies began to use the Two-Shots as a visual diary of places they had been, clothes they had worn, and the hairstyle of the day. By later reviewing the images great care was taken so that no two Two-Shots would ever be one and the same.

Spurred by the freedom that the Two-Shot afforded them, the Ghunnies began to branch out. They took up new sports. They experimented with trans-gender. They began wearing their hair long - and beading it. Their poses took on an aggressive air, yet they returned to the soft blue and white colors comfortably familiar from their very first Two-Shot.

Next came the hat phase.





followed by the bbq and bandana phase.



The Two were last seen in Hawaii planning their biggest Two-Shot to date.
