max and jake’s big race 2010

This is the second year I’ve been at our friends’ charity race. This year I had a more official role as photographer/videographer. They have done an amazing job raising money for Rady Children’s Hospital.

Even more amazing was that due to a police incident which happened over night, they had to move the entire race to a different location the morning of the race! I was amazed at how well they handled the unexpected move.

And for those of you from San Diego, yes that’s Derek Togerson from NBC San Diego 7/39 who emceed the event and did an incredible job.

You can find out all about the race on their website: www.maxandjakesbigrace.org

I expect to see all of you there for next year’s race!

high tide brunch

Since I didn’t have a wedding on Saturday, my family and I decided to go to the “High Tide Brunch” at the Marine Room in La Jolla. It was pouring rain, but the waves were big and pounding against the glass in their dining room. That was pretty impressive, but then all of a sudden a perfect rainbow appeared over the ocean. It was simply amazing! (The food was great too, BTW.)

The glass was dirty from all the waves, but the rainbow was spectacular

sofia’s first portraits

My sister and her partner just had another baby! But since they live in Northern California, and with my crazy schedule, I wasn’t able to be there when she was born. So, I finally just made time to fly up there for a day to visit and see the baby, and of course shoot some portraits.

Sofia cooperated beautifully. My sister was saying that she hadn’t ever been so awake before. I was amazed at how she had her eyes open the whole time.

We ended up shooting almost everything in one room. You can really do a lot with just a simple room and fortunately some great light from the huge windows.

Congratulations to Susan and Cristina!

my grandmother’s 99th birthday party

My wife and kids and I flew to Sacramento for my grandmother’s 99th birthday. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. We flew in the morning of the party and left the next morning.

It was great to see everyone!

Of course I can’t go to such a big party without bringing all my camera gear…

My Daughter is Better Than I Am

Who would have imagined that my 9 year old daughter was able to get a photo exhibited at the San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) before me.

OK, so I have never had anything exhibited at MOPA.  Some day perhaps, but unlikely.

But my daughter took a photography class at MOPA and then entered one of her photos into their photo contest. I am proud to say that they chose her photo as one of the photos to be part of their current exhibit.

Here’s Micah by her photo at the exhibit’s grand opening reception:

I am such a proud daddy!

Congratulations Micah!

my new associate “photographer”

I am training a new associate photographer. Unfortunately he won’t be ready for “prime time” for a while and he likes to shoot in his underwear…


He’s only 17 months old, but you can’t start too young, right?

I like how he “chimps” after he takes a picture!

US Navy homecoming

It’s really too bad I don’t have more time to do these military homecoming shoots for Operation Love. I love doing them, but with so much other work I should be doing instead, it’s hard to find the time to do them.

But when I got a call from Teri-Lynn for this shoot, I decided to take the morning “off” and photograph her husband’s  homecoming.

Teri-Lynn has four kids and three grand kids. I know it’s hard to believe that she has three grand kids! It was her husband’s last deployment so this homecoming was particularly special for her and her family.
