Congratulations Heather and Brian!

Fall Colors in Yosemite
Yosemite in the fall is quite spectacular. Not only are the crowds down from summer, but the light is filtered through the valley providing some fantastic views of the valley floor. I recently made a trip to relax and photograph the fall colors.
The day moved too quickly! I wich I could have spent several days there photographing the beauty. The entire set is online here.

Sue Lomolino from The Other Cheek face painting invited me to photograph her latest masterpiece this last weekend. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was blown away with the incredible job she did with the model Ffjorren. I’m sure there were some hours involved with getting her painted like this, but the results were well worth the effort!
Thank you very much Sue and Ffjorren!

2010-09-15 Wedding Photography--Grace Vineyards
I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph the wedding of Rainey and Brent in the fantastic Grace Vineyards in Galt, California. Grace Vineyards is a great place to host a wedding. They have very scenic grounds and many different locations on the grounds for great photography. The vineyard also catered the event—the food was delicious!
Rainey and Brent were a great to photograph....

Blog move
I’ve been posting a blog for my photography business for a while now, but haven’t gotten too much feedback from my Facebook friends or fans. I was using the “Blog Box” application on Facebook. At the time that was the only blogging application I could find that seemed to work with Facebook Pages.
Unfortunately the Blog Box application interface was confusing and I think a...

Aerial photography, flight to Watsonville
I had the fantastic opportunity to do some aerial photography. After photographing the property we took a short filght from Tracy to Watsonville for lunch. I was quite surprised at how smooth the ride was in the small plane. We had a great flight and a great lunch with fabulous views of the Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz.
The entire gallery is available on my website.

Fantastic Rainy Saturday
I had a fantastic Saturday last week. I started off the day doing family shots for an old friend in Livermore. They booked Ravenwood Historic Site which I had never seen before, but I will definately book again! The location was great and had a very nice gazebo, old house, vineyard, and shaded areas. Unfortunately, the weather took a turn for the worse and started raining. Rain is not very typical...

2009-08-17 Recent Activity
I seem to be taking a lot of pictures recently. Both of my daughters are on separate soccer teams so I’m working on getting my timing down for good soccer shots when the games start. After reviewing many of the photos from practice, timing the shot is critical. If I shoot too early, there is little action, too late and the ball is gone. Certainly something I’ll be practicing.
I also had the...

Busy week, photographically speaking
After a wonderful vacation with friends and family I had a lot of photo developing to do. I carried my camera with me practically everwhere in Disneyland. Of course the camera got really heavy after walking around for a few days. Before I could finish editing vacation photos, I had more events to cover. The first was my daughter’s graduation from preschool.
Of course my daughter was beaming...

2009-07-06 Holiday weekend and camera club meeting
I hope everybody had a fantastic day celebrating the Fourth of July! I had a very full day. I first started by waking up early to go to Lincoln Park in Tracy to watch the hot air balloons launch. This launch has been a tradition for quite some time, but this is the first time I’ve actually gone. I was thrilled to see the balloons fill up and actually launch, because the last two balloon lauches...

2009-06-20 Tracy Tennis Lessons
My daughters are both enrolled in tennis lessons through the city of Tracy. The tennis lessons are given by a remarkable instructor who really seems to understand how to connect with the children and teach them the sport that he loves. Antwan asked me to take photos of the lessons to use on his website, Tracy Tennis.
The gallery of images is available on my website, but because this gallery...

2009-06-13 Dublin High School Class Reunion
This weekend was a multi-year class reunion for Dublin High School. The party was at Beeb’s in Livermore, which provided a very nice atmosphere for the event. After saying hello to fellow classmates, I started taking pictures to remember the event.
I had a really good time catching up with old friends and meeting a few new ones too. This crowd was pretty receptive to having their picture...

2009-06-06 Stacy's Surprise Birthday Party
Some professional photographers I have met don’t like to pick up the camera unless they are getting paid. I’m not sure if they feel this way because they take so many pictures that they want to do something else, or if they feel it’s not worth their time. I carry my camera most everywhere I go because I want to have the option. I hope to never get to the point in my photography where I feel...
