Rhonda and Josh are cool folk that kick out fun kids. I’ve known them for many years. i could tell some crazy stories that go all the way back to the Westmont years. Unfortunately, if i start, they just may have some good dish on me that i don’t want out there on the interweb.

Do enjoy the pictures we made at a local Santa Barbara beach a few weeks ago.

liam and carolyn are now husband and wife!

it was a great evening of beautiful wedding and rockin’ party at the santa barbara zoo. not only can the two of them get down, but they hang with one crazy bunch of funky dancers. the band Senior Year kept the music cranked and movin’ for as long as the local noise ordinances would allow.

here’s a few iPhone pics i grabbed while getting my groove as the cameras rested at the table with my half-eaten dinner.

the film is still in the fridge, but keep an eye out for more from the fantastic day. they’ll be here soon!

last saturday was a beautiful clear day in santa barbara for kim and henry’s wedding. it was a great ceremony with lots of thoughtful touches. the pastor marrying them mentioned the unique privilege of officiating the marriage of two seminary graduates. kim and henry knew exactly how they wanted it to go. turned out great.

this is the dixon family. they live down the street from us. they have chickens. they look good on film. they care about our planet. they make great s’mores. they are one killer family!

when we were mostly done, the dixons sat in front of my brand new Nikon F3. first roll of film through the new machine. just making sure it works right. these black and white shots are from that first roll. i think the camera works well enough. edit: the camera is new to me, but was built back when i was in high school. still some of the best glass on the market. i picked it up so i can have access to all the fantastic nikkors out there floating around ebay and the consignment stores.
