Happy Birthday Baby Sis!
Happy Birthday to my baby sister, Megan!! It’s still a crazy thing to see you grow a pinch taller than me and see you never grow out of your pjs phase. You are definitely a special one and probably one of the most awkward people I know, but love you either way. Happy Birthday Megan!!

Madonna Flashmob
I had the privilege of shooting the Bay Area Flash Mob at Market Street, Dolores Park, & the Castro while they performed their tribute to Madonna during Fleet Week.
It was my first time seeing and shooting a flashmob. It was definitely a fun experience. I’ll have to admit, I was pretty tempted to jump in a few times! That would’ve been bad. Thanks Julien for the opportunity. I still...

Older & Wiser
Since my turning of age, a lot has changed and a few wonderful surprises have come my way. Some greater than expected! I was shooting (pun intended) to have my site up by now, but had to take a couple steps back with the full plate of goodness I am consuming at this time. So for now...back to our regularly scheduled program.

WatchDennis’ Surprise Proposal!
Thinking that Dennis’ friends wanted to embarrass him on his birthday, Darcie, along w/ friends and family, gathered around to watch a youtube video of Dennis dancing. Little did she know there was a twist… :)
This is the youtube video (by Peter Pheap) and the official proposal after the video ended. (Excuse the shakiness at the end. I was trying to...

These are a few of my favorite sounds.
Some favorite sounds that I find fascinating and comforting:
-rain
-a tennis racket hitting a tennis ball
-my dog drinking water from his water bowl
-ocean waves
-squeaky sneakers on clean gym floor
-the swoosh of a basketball going through the hoop
-emptying my trash on my macbook pro.
And last but not least…
-a camera shutter.

Ready to paint the town.
One step back, one hundred steps forward.
I remember starting this photo blog with an inspired intention to share photos, discover diverse shooting techniques & immerse myself in photography. To my own surprise, I’ve kept up with this more than I could ever imagine and it has become a great part of me. Photography has proven itself to be more than just a passion. It has become a great friend.
So today for my 100th post,...

The Black Keys- Strange Times
Mr. Lennon
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon
Thanks Mel.
