photo flora

It's been a long time since I've used my camera. I finally broke out the film (that's right, I said film) while we were in San Diego last month. Here are a couple of shots I took of the plant life. I know plants are boring but I love shooting them. When the film is cross processed they become something completely different and there are so many new little details.




wedding bells

This is my beautiful friend Heather. She got married this weekend and it was amazing. Her rehearsal dinner was Friday at Tony Cuputos. I can't wait until the Italians go vegetarian.
We took the girls up with us. Here is a Cory and Priscilla waiting for the procession to start.

I was escorted down the isle by Heather's stud little brother Warren . Priscilla caught the bouquet. Now all she has to do is find a man (she looks young but she is old enough to have to have a 16 and a 13 year old).The beautiful bride and groom having their first dance.
It was a great wedding. Congrats to Heather and Jack!

the new web radio


So when time permits I am obsessed with finding new music. If I don't show some restraint I could spend an entire day listening to song fragments, filling up my shopping cart, and going broke $.99 at a time. I use iTunes but I am generally disappointed when I hear the whole song for the first time. Cory found a great alternative the other day. It's called Pandora the Music Genome Project and it basically the perfect radio station. You pick your favorite band and it plays music that is similar. You can tell it if you like or don't like a song-- You can see the artist, title, and album for each song -- You can click on the song playing and listen to samples from the rest of the album-- plus there are links to iTunes or your music site of choice if you want to make a purchase. If you've got some decent speakers on your computer it is your answer to the at home/office radio woes. Check it.
