I only have one little sister, and this was the absolute most perfect man and wedding for her! she was as bright as a 120W lightbulb all night long!
The ceremony was beautiful, the limo bus was awesome, and the reception was unforgetable! Please take a look!

the 4th of july this year was short and busy for me, yet i still managed to enjoy a weekend at the beach, and got some great photos!
it amazes me how well my sub-compact cameras preform when properly configured! all these images were taken using my samsung nv10, you be the judge of their quality!

Mary's wedding was beautiful, and i was lucky to get a bunch of great pictures, over 400 between two camera's, these are the real standouts, including some really great candids! some of the first few photos were taken during the rehersal and you can tell because of the position of the sun.
Sunday was a bit overcast, which was great weather for a good ole fashioned party!

this was Charlie's first year camping in Alleganey, we all had a great time and had great weather! No bears this year though... :(
most of the week was spent exploring accross the border, and learning what was over that mountian!

we went on our honeymoond in the most magical place in all the world, Walt Disney World! we were lucky enough to stay 10 nights in the Polynesian resort, in the Tahiti Longhouse!!
i only took three camera's and managed to snap 800+ quality photo's! so many of them turned out excellent that we had to order a second photo album to put all the prints into! here are just a few of my favorites.

if you were there you would know, this was by far the best wedding ever! it all seems like a memory now, but the pictures will always bring us both right back!
everyone will remember this one, because it was just so much fun. many of our friends and family took tons of great photos and they gave us them all!
these two are my favorites, the first because my wife needed a beer and i was happy to get hold her cool flowers! in the second picture my good friend Mark Z snaps a shot of the photographer rushing to get a shot of me taking a shot of my beautiful new wife! Recusive Photography is Good Stuff!

this was a VERY cool autotech project i did during the winter for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma XR. i took the stock grill and hacked it up, plastic welded it back together, smoothed it, had it painted and cleared by my good friend Russ and back on the truck by Spring!
lots of new methods were learned making this one-off grill, and i had a bunch of great community support! stay tuned for more original tacoma projects!

i was very fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to a presentation given by his holliness the dalai lama. religious affilations aside, his message was clear, direct, and encouraging giving me a great sense of accomplishment just learning that i am in agrement with his message.
these pictures were taken from the field, and turned out excellent for an amature. the lighting throught the speach was amazing, it actually rained around the entire stadium, yet not on the audiance! these were taken using my canon S3 IS and a polarizing filter.

first off no bears actually attacked us, they did come close, way to close! one nearly attacked my good friend Mike, but he scared him away with a cookie. only to find out that the bear likes cookies, and came back for more!
the park was really quite when we were there, and to make matters worse the dumpsters have been moved to a newly created Recycling Center. this made for some very hungry bears, and with not many options for them they really were all in our business looking for a handout. other than the cookie, we made certian not to feed them even a little. We kept our trash in the trunks of our cars, and all food inside, only liquor and drinks allowed to be left out. this didnt stop the bear from getting up on the liquor table and sniffing around. He also climbed up on my new truck to stick his head in the window, and he ended up sinking his teeth into the cooler and dragging it off the porch, only to find it full of beer!
