If you ever have the chance to see U2, you take it. Seeing them playing this song live is amazing, truly awesome. Oh, by the way, my brothers, father, and I went to see U2 at Rose Bowl yesturday.

Bee

So I am staying up late to get some pictures done for her birthday party. Some friends are here from the east coast and it is Bee's 1st birthday. The hardest thing is that her party is a costume party, and I have no idea what to go as.

The chinese festival

This past weekend, there where two festivals in Hanford. One of them being where people dress up as knights, and try so hard to live back in that time until their parents call on their cells phone wanting to know when to pick them up. The other festival, was the Chinese New Moon festival. It is pretty awesome because it takes place in China alley, which is a beautiful place to take pictures. With these shots, as I worked on them, it turned more into what wierd artsy things can I do to the images, for some.

that big bright spot thing at night

The moon is full and I wanted to take pictures. So I drove out to this location to find that workers where at the place I wanted to be, darn. So I drove a little further and started.



All four of these shots where at the same time around 11 at night.
Also here are some things I learned shooting in the country at night.
- When wild coyotes howl 360 degres around you, first thing that comes to mind is not how awesome.
- The glow stick, when broken open, stinks, taste bad, and stings the eyes.
- The train that you have been waited for, comes as you are driving away.

There where no Blue Oaks

This last weekend, the Nordgren's where in town, and it was awesome. Craig, use to babysit my brothers and I about 25 years ago while we lived in Minnesota. Even tho I have no memory of it, the ones from this weekend will live on. Currently the Nordgrens are missionary's in Spain, and they are back in the U.S. for a year. While they where here, I took my youth group and the two sons to go hang out with bowling and driving around town looking for cap guns but ending up with whoopee cushions, nice. Then on Sunday, we went up to the Giant Sequoias forest and hiked up morro rock. Amazing time, and amazing people.

That time of year

Ya, it senior portrait time, it was a cool time with Jesse.

The Lacey Mill

I have been working on two projects. The first one is working with the people at the Lacy Mill. THey saw one of my pictures and was wondering if I could work something together for them. This is one of the shoots that will maybe used for the final project. But if not, I still love it. The second project, find more work.

Rock on the mount 2

A couple more pics from rock on the mount.

Rock on the Mount

This last weekend, some awesome friends and I went up to the Santa Cruz mountains for "Rock on the Mount". It was pretty amazing that I was able to see some amazing friends from camp victory.

the Em-Ry session

While at camp this year, it was cool to have Riley and Emily as workers up this year. One day they asked if they could use my camera to record a video. After I let them, each day that grabbed the camera and made something. So I decided to call it the Em-Ry sessions. This is not the first one that they did, it is just the first one that I compressed. Just a note, I had nothing to do with the making of it.

Star search 09

So last week, I went out to try and take pictures of the meteor shower. But being there was a moon out, I only saw like three shooting stars. So, my brother came out later, and we started painting with light. I am proud of my brother, he was getting into it seeing what you could do with light and a camera, action.








Waiting around for some shooting stars.
