I took down my gallery show today at the Library. I am so glad that I was able to get the exposure that I did. I am trying to secure space for my next show.
I photographed the wedding of Wendy and Matt last weekend and it was a lot of fun. I was able to capture a lot of images for my profoilio. This is my favorite one that i was able to capture.

A lot of people who I show this to just loves it. I have made it into my main image on my website.

Here is me on the left! The PRC had a pier view of portfolios and I went. I learned a lot and I am looking forward to the next one.
I did another wedding over the weekend and it was so much fun. I worked with Melissa again and we hit it off as a team. I have learned so much from her. I have come a long way. I cannot wait to start getting my own gigs. I will have them up on my web-page in a day or two. (Sorry, I make my selects and then go over them in a day or two. (It makes all the difference in what I select.) And for my fans of the wide angle, yes I did the reception again using my wide angle.

I cannot believe that it this is my 10th time being a father on father’s day! My little girl Carin is just awesome. She brings me such joy and happiness, it is not funny.
I do feel a little sorry for her, she looks just like I did when I was younger. I found an old picture of myself and I could not believe it.
She is the reason why I am doing this photography gig. My father worked at a job he could not stand and was miserable. He lived 3 or so years after his retirement before he died. (In his 60’s) I promised myself that I would not put myself in the same situation.
I have been very busy and forgot to annouce that my gallery show has been up sence last Monday. My buddy Shawn from CDIA came by Tuesday night to see, as he put it, “my cage.”* I have added the images to my webpage gallery as well as I have created a Blrub book as well.

I am donating 10% of all print sales and book sales to www.ctf.org. This is a non-profit that raises awareness of for Neurofibromatosis. This is a genetic disorder that I have as well as my lovely daughter Carin. (Put the Car In the garage.) I have done 3 events for them and hope to do more. (I have also donated prints for their fundraiser.)
*The reason why Shawn called it my cage, my prints are hanging from 5 double sided panels that are made of metal mesh.
Here is one of the TA’s from school’s photographs. (I uploaded it from his Flickr account.) He is the one that gave me the idea of using a wide angle lens.
