cameron played his first t-ball game last weekend! he finally got to do what he’s watched his older brothers do so many times (including a free snack at the snack bar…)
for mom’s 60th birthday, we surprised her with brunch aboard a hornblower yacht. this was the biggest of the hornblowers, the inspiration. she was surprised, we drank dramamines, mimosas, and feasted for a couple hours while the yacht cruised around the bay. it was a great day full of happiness, friends, and family

Had the honor of taking photos of my niece for her one month anniversary. I’ve never done a “new baby” photoshoot before, but I took it as a challenge. I knew what type of shots I wanted to do — and what shots I didn’t want to do (eg Sofia in a hallowed-out watermelon a la Anne Geddes… blech).
The challenge was in post-production. I’m in love with the film look that many photographers are mimicking. It softens the photo and adds a lot more character to the subject. It took many hours to get what I wanted… and I don’t think it’s fully there… but it’s close. I can’t wait to do more photoshoots like this to get more practice at post-production.
been a proud owner of a nokia lumia 928 for a couple weeks now. definitely one of its best features is the camera. LOW LIGHT SHOTS ARE AMAZEBALLS
here are the photos, untouched… in full glory:
we celebrated mom’s retirement at tom ham’s lighthouse on sunday… it was a hot day and i couldn’t eat the crab legs, but it was still a good time.
congrats mom. we’re proud of you
note: took a bunch of pics, broke them into parts (click through the pages at the bottom of post)
the gang got together to celebrate chaunce’s birthday at the local habit. good food, great beer, excellent people. i just love seeing friends talking and laughing around a table.
oh and the cake was ridiculously good… kicks costco’s carrot cake’s ass…

took matty to the padres game today and dennis took andy. i didn’t expect much from the team. they’ve been hit with so much bad luck this year — i thought they were going to be middle of the pack at least, not bottom of the barrel.
anyways, this is the first time i brought my nex-3 to the ballpark… enjoy!
thanks to andy for the bomb seats!

matty and andy played in their respective little league all star games today. andy made some great plays on the field and matt threw a 6-pitch, 1-2-3, 6th to get the save for his team.
you’ll notice i’ve put a filter on my pics… just wanted to experiment with some new toy: nik color efex pro. i ran the pics through its film efex: fuji 800z filter. it gives it a near realistic film look… i need to play with that app a little more Read more »
reception: imperial palace, pasadena, california
the venue for the reception was amazing. you hear the name “imperial palace” and think of a scary las vegas hotel/casino where people get shanked, but this one was classy. huge space with a nice dance floor and top-class lighting and sound.
it was a fun reception, though all my shots turned out purple because of the LED lights
oh yea… and this:
this is the longest dollar dance ever… they should use venmo#dtridealong
