  • Playa del Carmen Thanksgiving Wedding

    My best friend got married in Mexico over Thanksgiving. Epic. Good. Times. I love you, Mr. and Mrs. Schulien.

  • Joining the ranks of Neil Armstrong, Lewis and Clark, and Hillary and Norgay

    I went to my first bridal shower. As an invited guest. Also as a photographer. My best friend Wendy had her bridal shower this past weekend and I had the pleasure of being the only man (aside from the waiters) to be there for the entire time. I know there may have been other men before me that have had the privilege to witness the unique rituals of a bridal shower. But I got pics.

  • Happy fun times in San Diego

    The wife and I spent the weekend in San Diego hanging with Wendy, Jeff and Tess. Good times had by all.
