Solvang Sunrise

Here are some photos I took while in Solvang, CA about a week ago. I wanted to see the sunrise but it turned out to be a gloomy morning… Although I didn’t get the sunrise shots that I wanted, I was able to get something better… Every time I see a flock of birds or...

Summer 2010. Part III

A few weeks ago I decided that I would attempt to complete the P90X workout program. Ninety days of intense exercise. The word attempt is key here. I quickly learned that besides helping you get super fit, such program is designed to cause pain and suffering. But in a good way because the end result...

Yosemite Getaway, Part II

There was war this morning between my warm sheets and my new morning running routine. It almost didn’t happen. I lay in bed trying to convince myself that sleeping in for fifteen more minutes would be ok… But you always do that and then fifteen minutes turns into an hour. Yeah but it’s so cold....

Yosemite Getaway, Part I

Barking dogs, crying children, dirty air, rude people, drama, car troubles, feeling crappy, house cleaning, schedules, work, more rude people, bills, traffic…sometimes it’s nice to get away from it all and hit an imaginary reset button. So when Eddie and I planned taking my parents to a four day getaway to Yosemite National Park for...

These workshops and small GTG for portrait and wedding photographers are a perfect way to build a portfolio, connect with other photographers and LEARN, not just about photography, but yourself.
