17-40 f/4 L

50 f/1.8
85 f/1.8
70-200 f/4 L
2 flashes (one for backup)
and a shitton of extra batteries and CF cards

I really need to learn how to pack better, I didnt even end up using the 17-40 or 50mm and I left my 100mm macro at home, which I coulda used on some nice close ups of the ring

a couple teaser/in progress shots for now (i have like 1300 pics to go through )



since it's on the beach, here are her shoes! haha


her mother, who passed away













A couple of cool things, the pastor (which was the brides brother) apparently is business partners with chuck liddell, and they need event photogs for some fights. Its a non paying job but I would get a media pass and get into the fights for free. Also, another couple approached me as we were walking to the restaurant and they said that they were planning on having the same kind of wedding on the beach at the same location in feb and wanted to know if I could do theirs haha

Want to take my son to one for the first time.
half moon bay would be fun.

I think i got some good pics though, my first gig as main photog

Anyone got leads on a treadmill? I burned out the one I got from Clint and I am not getting anywhere with the extended warranty on it. I keep getting transferred around because I don't have all the information.

sorta messed up. there were like 6? categories, with 1st and 2nd each...so 12 trophies

the shop owned cars were the ones winning everything. there were atleast 2 cars shop owned that one 3 different categories each...that knocks half the awards out of contention.

owned.

I think the DMG R35 is Glenn, the SS is Harry, and Chad with the R33. Looks like the usual 350Z/G35 group was there as well.

That's more trophies than Wekfest will probably have. I think they had 6 for the j-town show. Just best of's though.

Nice! If you ever need another shooter with a CF sensor, I'll tag along, haha. I still need to pick up some nice glass though since all I have is a 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 and 50 f/1.8.

I did manage to rent a 70-200 f/4 L for a Giants game a couple weeks ago and man that lens is sweet.

check out my new bike...been parting it 2gether for the past 3 months or so...just to give u an idea how long it is...im almost 5'11"...if i stand it up...its still taller than me...i had just rode it bak from the shop 2day...1st ride from dublin to pleasanton...i got sooo many looks...especially when i passed by Arlen Ness...then when i was almost home...i ran into some1 that and a stretched felt cruiser...stopped n chatted up a lil then went home...

this is what it looks like...its low(purposely lowered) enough for me to use the bike pedal as a kick stand hehehe...i can go lower too if i used 24" wheels instead of 26s...then itll b a pedal scraper with some magnesium pedals...
