Here are a couple shots from my last wedding…proof that I am still @ work even though I am far away from home.  Time to go shoot some pictures of the city by the bay.

The kid playlist.  It’s short because they’re music snobs.

• alfie - we dance like crazy to this one and it never gets old (i hope they don’t understand the lyrics)
• love lockdown - ever heard this one?

About a year ago I was sifting through a box of old photos and found these slides.  Got them scanned and thought how fitting it would be to post them today.  I can tell that my dad shot these because of the amazing composition.  Check out the plant in the foreground, the cropped pool, Bugs Bunny turned on its side.

Looks like it was a good day.  circa 1980

Over 60 hours of work this past week.  No complaints though.  Here are a few things keeping me sane and entertained as I grind it out.

• cadillac one
• the wrestler - marisa tomei shouldn’t be as overshadowed as she is
• my favorite prank call - click if you cuss
• sleight of hand
• is there any love? - get in the car, turn it up, drive
• i will

Violet and Richard got married @ the historic Anaheim White House where rooms are named after presidents.  There’s even a Barrack Obama Room.  I had a few conversations in the parking lot with a couple of Richard’s closest friends.  They say they have known him since they were all 7 or 8 years old.  It’s good to hear of folks who still stick together.  I also learned that Richard is an incredibly good father to his two daughters.  His friends were quite enthusiastic when mentioning that part.

Music I listened to while making these pictures in the middle of the night:

Ariel and the friendly staff @ Charles Lummis Home and Garden were warm and inviting.  The clouds laid thick and heavy all afternoon.  We used a gold/silver reflector as fill and almost NO FLASH.  Enoch and Sonia were loving and ready to strike the poses.  Good day…

Enoch the Poser…you need to send #3 to your mom.
