2010 Grandpa Samuel Anniversary

we decided to have my grandfather's 1 year anniversary for passing on. everyone decided to get together a few months earlier. this is always a special occasion when you can hang out with your family. just 1 year earlier we were all together for the funeral and celebration for my grandfather. shot 10-22mm, 24-70mm L.

580ex II with diffuser, basic =)



  

The above photo will be my last time I see my Uncle Joe (Above). He passes away 1 month before the second year anniversary of his father Grandpa Samuel. Cherish time and cherish your family. Another reason why photos can be so important in our lives.

2010 Marathon Runner, Anton Garcia

Anton Garcia is my coworker. he is a great guy and friend to have. he's also into marathons! here was a chance to shoot an athlete who just finished their first marathon yesterday. i went with the 50mm 1.4 and 24-70mm. 580ex II on justin clamps and stand w/ basic umbrella were my choice of lights.

  

2010 June 28 Engagement Lunch for Des & John

Willow Glen in San Jose, CA. Bill's Cafe, engagement lunch for cousin Des and John. went with the 10-22mm and a 580ex II. the food here is great as always. when shooting this engagement lunch, i wasn't pressuredat all. it's mostly friends or relatives of the bride who attended, so it was very relaxed. it was a busy sunday and there were a lot of customers so it was loud, but we did enjoy ourselves. ended up going close and personal with the shots. i like the wide angle view and it works for every event i've shot. going wide just helps immerse the viewer in what is happening. i couldn't around much either so again it works in that situation (i was eating =))

    

Hey It's Patty! Again!

Couldn't wait any longer, had to try to get another shot of Patty. As Always she did great. Did outdoor shots with bare Elinchrom Quadra a-head. 50mm 1.4 and 24-70mm =)
