Any post containing mainly photos or having to do with my photography.
I spent my Saturday assisting photographer and friend Jen O’Sullivan on a wedding in our area. The bride and groom were both a joy to be with and we had a great time with them. It was bit stormy out on Saturday, but that didn’t stop us from taking the bride and groom out for a little “walk in the park” so to speak.

I took this photo last night of a friends brand new baby. It is the hand of a one-day-old child holding his father’s index finger.
Sometimes the photos I take can say more than I can write. It’s not that I think I’m some kind of amazing photographer, but sometimes God allows me to see something that makes me speechless. This is one of those times…
The good people at UrbanTurf.com approached me this week about using one of my photos for an article they were doing on Washington D.C. As most young, aspiring photographers would, I gave them permission and they were kind enough to send a link back to me.
Here’s a link to the article if you want to check it out or are planning on moving to D.C. anytime soon. Apparently, it’s ranked 7th in the U.S. as one of the most “walkable” cities.
Here’s a link to the photoset of my trip to Washington D.C. last year.
Bethany and I got away for the Fourth of July weekend. It was such a blessing to be out of the super hot valley we live in and get in to the cool ocean air. We dig Ventura, so here’s a few photos from our weekend away:
Just an old marquee sign that’s sitting in an empty lot. I thought it was neat.
Kayaks waiting to hit the ocean.
Bethany takes her photography even more serious than I do… hehe
aahh.. the Pacific Ocean — we love you.
“I never saw the sign officer.”
The water was hitting the rocks we were standing on — it was radical.
Just some plain ol’ driftwood.
Here’s Bethany cruising around on the bike we rented. She’s so nice.
I was cruising around on my new longboard. I definitely put the miles on that bad boy!
Finally, Bethany and me waiting for the fireworks. Our American flags were a good touch… “USA! USA! USA!”
If there’s one thing I love, it’s everything. Seriously though, there are a ton of things that I think are amazing. For instance, TiVo. I think TiVo is ridiculously awesome. The fact that I can be at work and it can record the EuroCup 2008 soccer matches for me — unbelievable. By the way, if you didn’t catch the German vs. Turkey semi-final game — you missed out.
I thought I would try a sort of different blog post today — something for your senses. I’m calling it “Hear, See, Do” and I’m borrowing the concept from Newsweek. I’m a subscriber to the weekly publication Newsweek and every week they have this little side bar of things they think we should read, buy, see, etc., and I thought it would be fun to give you my picks for this week. I don’t know if I can pull this off every week, but we’ll see how it goes. Now on to the list!
Hear: Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
This fourth full length album from Coldplay is ridiculously good. Many longtime listeners of Coldplay aren’t impressed, but let me tell you I’m stoked on it. They describe themselves as “soft-hitting rock and roll” and that’s exactly what this album is. It’s just got a good vibe to it. I’d say it’s great for driving or running — not because it’s fast, but because it moves. It’s a little hard to explain, but just get yourself a copy (a legal copy).
See: Chicago - A ridiculously awesome photo gallery
Everyone that reads my blog knows I love photography. Whether it be still life, weddings, or whatever, I’m digging beautiful images. So when I came across this photo gallery of “outtake” images from the Chicago Tribune I wanted to book the flights and go see if Oprah wanted to do lunch with Bethany and me. Honestly, these 83 photos of Chicago during all seasons of the year are inspiring and definitely worth a look (and make sure and read all the lovely captions!).
Do: Buy a Long board (for the streets)
My wife bought me a long board for my birthday a few weeks ago and I’ve been cruising around town and lovin’ life. In fact, if you’re on Twitter you may have seen my update last week as I was skating from Starbucks back to our apartment. Let’s just say, I might get rid of my car.
That’s all for this week — enjoy.
