So the last two or three months have been a bit of a blur. I turned 27, found a spectacular woman, got situated in my new job, took three trips of a week each (two to san fransisco and one to mexico), decided to start shooting film again, drank, ate, and told stories, and generally lived it up.
There are some photos of all this. They are coming soon, I promise.
My friends Heather and Kyle got married, oh a month and a half ago now, and I was lucky enough to attend… really beautiful ceremony, in the alley where they had their first beers together. While some of my longtime friends know that I refuse, under any circumstances, to be a wedding photographer, I didn’t take any money for this one, and I would have been there anyway, so in this case I made an exception and took some photos. Besides, they’re really amazing people and I wanted to do something…
Work has been especially worky and my personal life has ben a crazy roller coaster, and that means the blog has been a bit neglected, but I’m trying to catch up. A wedding (not my own), a vacation, two business trips (the first one to vancouver and the other to san fransisco), all that really wears on you. There’s not a ton of energy left to blog. Add that to the fact that when I’m working, I’m actually working now, and it demands my full attention (really, it’s more like a compulsion to fix…
Today is my first day with Engine Yard. Last night, I got to go out with a couple of the managers and one of the other new hires, and I really like their style. Also, had some really awesome food and drink wandering around downtown Vancouver.
Earlier, I wandered a bit- just down to the bay from my hotel, really. Saw the Olympic torch, heard about four languages (Welsh, something scandanavian, chinese, and japanese), and had pangs of longing for living in a real city. Also, they have hills…
Riding down the highway last night and saw this.
Really fun night, just by showing up. It’d be nice if I could remember the name of the band or the singer, but I do remember that it was their first night playing together live. It was a really fun show. I’ll let the photos tell the rest.
Just two random photos from the queue. Woke up with a sober hangover this morning. It’s like waking up after a night of heavy drinking, but without the fun of the night before. A full night’s sleep, where you wake up still tired and wondering just what the hell happened to you. Luckily, this morning, somebody brought me coffee, and life was good again.
Anyway, the photos: Traci and Sky after a ride (come to think of it, this was the last time we rode) and then, a sunset storm.
Weaning myself off the fisheye with a standard wide zoom. Things are afoot. Time to get away from the computer.
I promise I am using my normal lens more now… but the fish is so fun.
So right before we all left for the plaza district, another photographer that was there took some of the girls out to shoot, and I sort of butted in and shot a few things too. Couldn’t help myself. Anyway, good photos. Now I have a chore to take care of. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m making little 4×6 prints of the actual fashion show to give to the girls and or their stylists.
