Week 9 and 10 / 52

Where to start...

The past couple of weeks have been supppper crazy. Did an awesome photo shoot with Wendi, Liz, Cha Cha, and Laney. then after that, well... I got Married! Then we left for our honeymoon in the West Caribbean for a week, and now we are here... on my 23rd birthday! whoot!

So here's an update to the 52 project, at Shot of Wendi in the bad ass military jacket that Laney brought in, and Cha Cha did the hair and make up.

Week 7/52 San Diego is the Sky Limit

Rushed down to San Diego to get a a shot of the city sky line. The first stop we went I didn't really like, the Hyatt buildings were to straight on. Drove down the street a little further down and found this place behind a restaurant. (Which I really want to check out, cause it looked really good).

30 second exposure, cropped and processed in Lightroom and in Photoshop. (c'mon when does California really get blueish purplish skies???)

Start of a new 52

Well, I figure since I see a lot of people doing a 365 project, I figure I'll do a 52 project... since i really dont have to the time to take a photo a day, I'll do one for a the week...
So this week's photo is of my friend Julio. We went golfing at the Menifee Lakes Golf course on the Palms side... saw the sun setting behind the palm trees and I had him pretend to putt.

La Jolla Cove

Well this past weekend was pretty fun. Went with the wife and our friends Gaby and Brad to La Jolla. Well first we went to Mission Beach because my brother Evan gave me a 1 hour free session to the wave house. I must say, it is A LOT harder then it looks. It was definitely fun, and I really want to try it again... and I hope next time I can stand up longer! haha. Well after the session at mission beach we headed down to the La Jolla coves, we wanted to see the seals, and I wanted to get a shot of the waves crashing on the rocks, turned out that the sun didn't really want to come out and play, so the weather was really gloomy, but I decided to still get my shot, and I figured I would make it a black and white to give it that really "Gloomy" look. So here it is.
