Month: July 2007

  • My family does an annual trip to Bridgeport, CA… It is an awesome little town in the Eastern Sierras. I have been going there since i was about 6 years old… This was my Aidens 2nd trip and he is 3… This year we had 17 people in our 2 camp sites. Including my dads best friend who he went to High School with and served a tour in Viet Nam with… He is an awesome guy and lives in Wolfcreek, Oregan… He will turn 60 in 2009 and is planning on having a 40th anniversary of the summer of love for his b-day, he has 17 acres and is planning on having bands play all weekend, he says clothing optional… He’s on his own trip so back to my trip… While camping Aiden caught his first trout and then on the next cast his second… he was excited… My dad has those shots on his camera, he is still there for another week… We visited Bodie for the first time and Aiden hasnt quit talking about it… Hayes, my 1 year old, walked the entire town he was exhausted that night… Bodie is at about 9600 feet elevation so you get tired very easy there… here are osme images of the trip… I didnt shoot alot because I was there with both kids and my wife stayed home for the week…

  • Swallows Inn

    The Swallows inn is a local bar here in San Juan Capistrano… If you are a regular of the blog (not that i have any regulars, just wanted to sound cool), but I had talked about swallows day and the return of the swallow… Any ways… I shot a fun wedding and between the ceremony and recetion we stopped off at The Swallows so the couple could enjoy there first dance. The first one was my favorite… Ran a little Grunge on it, one of Kubota’s actions, and thought it was awesome… The second one I was thinking of Dan. Enjoy I shot 2 wedding this weekend so i will have an update by the middle of the week… Take care
