So I have spent some time with my new marrying friends, taking their photograph and talking about everything. They're two good people. I know I've said it before, but I have very much enjoyed meeting the both of them. Along with the photographs I've made, I've also built them a website to work in conjunction with the wedding invitations. By no means am I a web designer/graphic designer, but I tried my best. I guess it kind of looks like my site. But what do I know about web design, really?! In the end, my friends are happy, which makes me happy. I have two more images to make that will be added to the formal gallery. Our schedules have been in two different directions as of late, but I hope the three of us can get together soon. Anyways, here it is.

An Old Photograph
I took this image in either June or July '07. It's of Mowich Lake, a small and fairly secluded mountain lake near the entrance to the Mt. Rainier National Park. A few years ago my parents moved to a tiny town called Carbonado that sits in the shadow of the mountain. They have a sick view of Rainier from their back deck and this beauty lake is right down the road.
Home
I spent the last six days back home in Seattle to a be a groomsman in the wedding of my best friend. I met Derek when I was in eighth grade and Keeb, quite literally, the first day of school the following year. These boys are my brothers. It was oh so nice to be back for a bit and see these two. 
First
Fun day today. I took my younger cousin Chris to the movies. We saw Hancock. Not much of a movie but it's definitely candy for the eyeballs. Then we went back to David's for dinner and hangouts. Anyways, after I got home I was going through my Lightroom album and came across a portrait I had taken of my dog Jack back in the Summer of '07. I had rented a bedroom in someone's apartment that was above an optometrists office on a commercial side street back in New York. A couple of months prior I had purchased my first Speedlight ever, after being a Strobist reader for a quite some time. After thinking about it for a second, I realized that this was the first portrait that I had ever taken with my flash OFF of my camera, a SB-600 camera right and bounced into the wall with a white curtain. I believe it was fired with that V2 Ebay trigger. I don't think I begun to explore the CLS system at that point. Up until that time, my whole life was spent shooting strictly with available light. This journey into learning about strobes and lighting has been pretty rad. I've become a better photographer because of it. It's the capture beauty/make beauty thing about images that I've talked about before. Anyways.
