A little catch up

It's been awhile since I've updated in here.  I've had several photo opportunities recently and just got around to processing and uploading yesterday.

I've shot fireworks for The 4th, more at 1st Wednesday, a baseball game, a small concert, and a church ice cream social.

Here's a teaser from a couple of my new sets.....

Garin Regional Park

Weekly photo outing to Garin Regional Park in Union City, CA.

this park has a lot of old, rusty farm equipment.  Not so fun for playing, but awesome for photography.  There's also a barn that's open on the weekends that I hope to visit some day.  And rolling hills and trees.  Lots of photographic variety.

Siblings....

Had a chance to take some sibling photos for a friend from church.  Despite both subjects' protesting to be there, I think they turned out pretty good.

Still working on figuring out the light reflector.
And how to pose my subjects.

But I'm pleased with these.

Landmarks: Flight 93 Memorial; Union City, CA

This is part of a new series of local parks and landmarks.

There is a Flight 93 Memorial in Union City, CA.  It's kind of in a random spot ... just at an empty lot at the corner by a bike path.  We used to walk by it every day on our walks and we watched it get built.  Each passenger on the plane has a stone on a pathway.  There are three stones at the beginning of the pathway describing the memorial.  At the end of the memorial is a flag that is surrounded by tiles painted by local elementary school students.

F & F Engagement Photos

Good friends recently got engaged and allowed me to take their photos.  I was nervous and excited all at the same time.

We went to a park that had some great playground equipment, structures, trees, water feature, and light.

Here are the best photos from the session.
