This is a photo of the Bride and Groom that I photographed a wedding for my wife’s cousin in Anaheim.  It was a beautiful ceremony and the shots were great.  This was my first wedding and I went out and bought a 580EX flash from Canon just because I wasn’t sure how my shots would come out without it.  It worked great except the battery couldn’t hold a charge so it didn’t last the whole night.  I took it back and got a new one.

This is a photo of Yosemite Falls.  My family and I went up there a couple of years back while there was still snow up there.  There wasn’t too much water coming off the falls but it sure was beautiful.

This is a photo of a mural that was put together with tile pieces inside a hotel in the middle of San Pedro Sulas, Honduras.  We went to have lunch at the hotel restaurant and I noticed the beautiful mural and how it had so much detail.  I snapped the photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

This is a photo from a village just outside of San Pedro Sulas, Honduras.  We went to visit this village and see first hand how some of the villagers live.  Some homes as you can see have no walls or roof.  We actually visited a young man who was working on putting some pieces of metal on the sides to provide shelter from the rain.  He didn’t have enough wood so we provided him with the wood that we had used to build the altar back in town. 

I took this photo while my daughter and I went to pickup my in-laws at the airport.  We drove to the parking lot and walked over to the Sheraton and took the elevator to the highest floor we could and walked to the end of the hallway and I snapped this photo.  The only bad thing was that building was in the way.  I will definitely have to go back and check it out.  

I took this photo back in 2006 when my pastor asked if I would go with him and some other church members to Central America.  We flew into San Pedro Sulas, Honduras and stayed there for a couple of days and then we traveled over to Guatemala.  I must say that it was a very interesting trip.  It actually gave me the a view of what the United States Citizens or Population take for granted.  We visited some churches in the area and actually hosted a church revival out in the streets a couple of nights.  Some moments seemed pretty intense when they told us the stories about revivals from the past.  They said the area is crawling with people that will kill you for no reason.  We actually encountered no hostile or violent experiences but there were some interesting characters that we came across.  I will try to put some more photos from Honduras and Guatemala soon but for now you can click on the Honduras and Guatemala categories to view them all.

This is a photo that I took while in Guatemala back in 2006 with my church.  We were on a boat cruising along The Rio Dulce.  Very beautiful place.  

I recently received an email from my good friend Johnny Grays.  Johnny and I served in the Marine Corps from 1996 to 2000 together.  I got out after my four years and so did Johnny but it seems that Johnny couldn’t miss the opportunity to serve our country right after 9-11.  He joined the Army Reserves and has been back and forth in Iraq a couple of times. 

Johnny has always been a great friend and I appreciate what he and all the other men and women in uniform do for our country.  From myself and all the rest of the people in this country I want to say thank you and God Bless! 

I hope that Johnny can send me some more updates on his life in Iraq.  I will keep you posted on his progress.  Take care and Semper Fi!

I recently finished creating the site for Mary Allen.  She is happy and it looks great.  I love her work.  If anyone is interested in viewing more of her art please check out her site.  We are still working on perfecting it some more but we are close.  

I pretty much had her purchase the domain name and I installed WordPress 2.8 on her host and we were in business very quickly.  I did some customizing and it is almost done.  I went over to their home last week and was able to install Windows Live Writer for them.  I love how easy the program is for updating your blog.  I showed them the Dashboard and how to manage the site.  We still have some work to do but that the hard part is done.

I also want to mention that her husband Dink does some very beautiful custom framing on photos, paintings and anything that you want to put in a picture frame.  Check them out!

I know this is late but it is really good information on how to photograph fireworks.  Darren Rowse has a step by step guide on how to photograph fireworks.  I am going to have to try this stuff.  Maybe I can try to catch a firework show somewhere either that or wait until New Year’s Eve.  To read more click here!

Anyone else have information or shots that they would like to share on their experience with shooting fireworks, feel free to share.
