Aidan the Wonder Kid

This is little Aidan, with whom I went camping with over the weekend. This guy, who just turned 2, has no fear what-so-ever. He was jumping off a small dock to go swimming like it was nothing. I wish I got to see him try some skiing because I think he'll be an X-Games athlete someday.

At the Rodeo

Some photos from my day at the California Rodeo Salinas. I was able to talk my way into the chutes where the riders get ready and was back there for about an hour and a half before the PR woman asked if I had all the photos I needed. Truth be told, the best way to watch a rodeo is from the chutes.

I was trying to get some candid portraits as opposed to action shots, but once the action started, it's hard not to point your camera at it. I', sure I'll get even better shots next time.

It's been a week and a half and I'm still smiling. The wedding was fantastic and the family and friends attending really made it special. I'm trying to get slideshow going, but I think Flickr is having some problems. I'll post back here when it's up and running.

Felicidades Tony & Julie

I finally tied the knot with my love Julie. The ceremony was at the Villa Maria del Mar in Santa Cruz and the reception was at the Cocoanut Grove Sun Room at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. I'm half way between moving, so I don't have all the photos up just yet, but I did grab this one.

Hollywood Starlet

My friend Christina wanted some shot of her dolled up as a 1950s Hollywood starlet. The lighting was easy, getting her to not laugh in every frame was tough.
