A couple favs!

As I sit here today and look back over some of the moments that I have had and been able to shoot I think I am a pretty lucky guy! I have been invited to some pretty cool events. I have been honored to get to shoot some cool things for some awesome kids!

Granted in the last bit I have not shot a lot. Obstacles will always arise if you let them I suppose. I am however trying to ease back into getting to put some shots in the books and see what happens. I have traded out some of my old gear for some new. Gotten rid of some heavy stuff for more practical gear. So lets see where we go from here!

I love music especially live stuff. You really can't beat it. So I am going to give  you one of my favs from a while back a long with a new photo from very recent.

50 Years!!!

I recently had the honor of photographing a 50th anniversary celebration for some very dear friends of our family. Its one of those times you really enjoy just being there in the first place. Surrounded by such positive people. Your also doing something for there family that will let them remember this wonderful event forever. They will always be able to look back on the occasion and remember what a happy day they shared.

Speaking of happy, for a photographer there is nothing better than getting to capture people that truly love life, love their friends and family. People that are just plain happy! Well this couple is that couple. You can see it in their faces, in their actions and all that they do. I was truly blessed to be able to take part in the celebration! Thank you for letting me share in your 50th anniversary!!!

Finally a bag I can live with!!

Ok over the last several years I have been through to many bags to count. It always ends the same way. While liking several aspects of a bag i find that there is more that I don't like than I do. Maybe its just me maybe I am to picky? I don't think so!!! After all have you purchased a camera bag lately? For what we are paying for a bag today you should be able to be happy with it. Well now I am.

So after that rant I want to say that I have found a bag I love. Yes you heard me correctly that I love! I was introduced to this company by Richard Bernabe who is a awesome photographer but more than that he is always in the outdoors shooting. If it works for him there has to be something to it was my hunch. Well I was correct F-Stop makes a great system. The first one that I purchased was the Loka. It is a mid sized bag that offers 3 different ICU bags that you put in the shell for different configurations. I find it to be a very versatile bag I can fit it to the many different situations that I work in.

To make the deal even sweater this company offers a program that they call friends with benefits that in my mind was a no-brainer. Instead of going through all the details here is a link to the site where you can read all about it F-Stop friends.
