LeighAnne and Richard Engagement - Scottsdale, AZ

I've known Rich for about 7 years now. Him and my old high school friend, Brian, were in the Navy together for something like 6 or 7 years. Having grown up in the Valley, Rich returned home after his stint in the military and Brian subsequently relocated to Phoenix as well. I joined them in Arizona a year later, moving to the desert in the summer of 2007. Our activities together were generally relegated to either playing video games at each other's houses or target practice in the desert. But then last year, Richard re-united with LeighAnne, an old high school friend, and the rest is history. I'm honored to be shooting their 9/10/11 wedding next month. Congrats, you two!

Another Haboob - Buckeye, Arizona

Drove to a friends place on the westside for dinner tonight and got caught in another wicked dust storm. This time I had a camera, though. Wasn't far enough away to show scale, but it was pretty decent-sized. Still no rain, however. Maybe tomorrow... Going to try and shoot lightning this summer. Lived here for 4 years and have never tried photographing lightning during the summer monsoon.

Bourbon Street - New Orleans, LA

Had the opportunity to fly to the Big Easy for the weekend (more like 36 hours) to help friend and fellow photographer, Jason Millstein, shoot a wedding at The Roosevelt New Orleans. We didn't have much time, but I did manage to snap a few photographs in the French Quarter. Bourbon Street was off the hook, and it wasn't even Mardi Gras! Fun times.

Playing Around at the Mesa Arts Center

My friend, co-worker and all around cool guy, Nathan Smiddy and I headed over to Mesa Arts Center earlier this afternoon to shoot a fashion show for a local high school class. But before the kids arrived we got to play around in the museum with the 35mm f1.4L. These are the results. Great portrait lens. Do want.
