Hello, Hello!

Welcome to 2011; Goodbye 2010! We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season. We want to thank all of our supporters and followers for making this last year one of the most wonderful and memorable years that fickleZeal has had so far. We appreciate all the encouragement and assistance that you have given. We have a very bright outlook for 2011 and would love to continue to hear from you individually.

With that said, we’re excited to share that we are entering this New Year [2011] with a new

But first, since we we not able to keep up with things on this blog we wanted to highlight some of the many special and exciting moments from 2010. This year has been an incredible year filled with so many exciting, heartfelt and emotional moments. We have been fortunate to photograph a variety of people and events that have been near and dear to our hearts. Below we have tried to quickly recap some of those moments, but it is not nearly enough to fully detail the entire year.

Again, thank you all for the amazing support. We hope this new year brings everyone more happiness, hope, appreciation of life and lots of remarkable memories that need to be captured for a lifetime!

An evening filled with entertainment was then followed up with a sobering morning. The vibe was of reverence that resonated from the group of such a diverse grouping of people. The young, old, healthy, sick, happy and sad all came together to share a common experience. During the ceremony at the Texas Motor Speedway, before the DFW CureSearch Walk, a flood of extreme emotion fell upon the crowd and just few words and actions transformed those uncontrolled tears into hope and a silent determination. Having lost a nephew to cancer at a young age, along with several family members, we could relate and understand this real and present need to cure this disease. This event was a life-changing experience and an eye-opening realization that there are so many people that are making a difference and searching for the cure. To find out how you can make a difference and to give from your heart visit CureSearch Support.

Thank you CureSearch for an amazing experience and the work that you do for us all!

“Cancer is the #1 cause of death from disease in children. Every day, 35 children or nearly 2 classrooms are diagnosed with cancer, 7 of these children will not survive. 3 out of 5 children who survive cancer suffer devastating long-term side effects.” ~ CureSearch (Children’s Cancer Facts)

On a lighter note, it was fun to see the Star Wars crew come out for some unique family entertainment. We wished we would have brought Nate along, he would have gained from and LOVED the experience.

The walk began and ended with passion and determination. There was a total of $80,640.00 in donations.

We were so blessed to be asked to photograph the 2010 DFW CureSearch Walk Events. We had no idea the emotion that would be involved in such an occasion. The events were intended to celebrate and honor children who have been affected by children’s cancer, while raising funds for lifesaving research for the Children’s Oncology Group.

The first night, we drove into the Texas Motor Speedway (awesome!, I might add) and walked inside a garage/hanger of parked race cars, buffets, bars, items for raffles, and casino style entertainment. It was a great experience and we were honored to be involved.

Here are just a few of the many items that were donated in effort to raise funds that evening.

The men, Jim and Mo, in the above right image were the guys that brought CureSearch to the DFW area. The amount of time and effort that they put into these events were inspiring and successful!

You can’t have a Casino night in Texas without Texas Hold’em.
