Almost 2 years ago, my daughter had a birthday party at Pollardville, an old greasy spoon on a large parcel of land, where kids can watch a shootout with cowboys and indians shout with glee and scream out loud. Hannah was in heaven and her friends and family had fun too.
My daughter just got her NEW Baseball Uniform and was eager to show it off.beautiful flower, the name of which I've totally forgotten, but I wanted to take some shots and post it anyway.I've been experimenting with the frames...would love to hear what you think about them, too.
I was wandering around my house trying to find the SIGNS...these are the shots I took...

Yesterday, I played the piano for a wedding that took place at Harmony Grove Church and was built in 1859. I want to go back there and take more shots.

Drove from to Santa Rosa today to pick up my son. Took some shots along the way, including from inside the car during stop and go traffic (mostly stop). The clouds were so billowy they seemed fake, and then the storm provided some great photo opportunities. Love the Napa Valley views...even McD's looked good tonight.

This one was taken near the foothills last week when the snow dropped to 1000 feet (it's been a doozy in CA this Winter).

Another one of my cousins got married in November (Renaissance style). These are some of the photos from the wedding.Mother of the Bride Kickin BackBride and Groom I Bride and Groom IIBride and Groom III Candles in the water
The lighting was very poor during the wedding so I had to keep the setting near 1600. I much prefer outdoor pictures...
I see a few flaws that need to be dealt with...next time
Last September I took my half-brother and my daughter to the San Diego Zoo. These are a few of the many moments I captured during that day. It's amazing to watch the faces of children at the Zoo...and the poses of the animals...Elephants Feed the Birds Gorilla Han's Bird Han's reflection in the tram window LionReachingRhinoWhat do you see Watching the Lions

One of the things I do is musical direct at various theaters. Last summer it was at SRT -- Santa Rosa Repertory Theatre. The two productions I worked on were Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE FULL MONTY. Here are a few Full Monty Pics.
