erin and teo’s wedding • 10.12.08

soooo, i was asked to shoot lillis’ roomates wedding. it’s something i’ve considered once or twice over the last year or so (doing some wedding photography, not shooting her specific wedding). anyway, i agreed and asked brad to shoot with me. so, it was as simple as going to villa christina for a practice shoot, developing those, creating a map with shot locations, dividing those up into shot cards for him and myself and orchestrating “line of site” concerns. no biggie : ) anyway, i think the next one (if we are employed for another one) will be much easier now that we’ve been through it once. regardless, it was a good time and we enjoyed it. erin says she’s pleased with the results, so i’d call it a success. the full album is here, but i figured i would just post some shots from the album below.

erin’s new initials (in blue) being stitched into the dress, fulfilling the “something blue” requirement. very thoughtful.

mom, sister and bride look out as the guests are getting seated

her grandmother signs the guestbook

of course, i had to get a shot of my FAVORITE guest

and they drive off into the sunset…..actually it was midday, so they probably drove off to lunch : )

skiing in t-town • 09.27.08

it occurred to me late in the summer that i had not yet taken lillis skiing (actually, september is fall, right?) so i asked jason if we could head over to tuscaloosa for the weekend and hit the lake at his father in law’s lake house. we had a great weekend, getting in in time to watch the women’s volleyball team play, we spent the whole day on the lake the next day, and then watched bama whip up on uga, before going to my cousin’s “animal house” style off-campus fraternity party. we headed back home the next day. btw, the lake is freakin ridiculously posh…..mansion after mansion (including the one that belongs to coach saban). jason’s place has a incline that carts you down to the water. fancy.

here we are out on the inflatable tow-behind thing that jason pulled with the boat. michael’s in the middle, and those are lillis’ legs.

i caught this one in midflight as rocky actually got jason, lillis and michael into some MAJOR air. michael was the only survivor of this one.

here’s some video of the preceding.

here’s the view from the pool of the lake. really nice. i need to buy me one of these.

brad and charles take manhattan • 08.26.08

so, brad and i headed up to nyc for one reason and one reason only…..catch a yankees game before they shut venerable yankee stadium down. brad booked the flights while i was in asia (lots of things happened when i wasn’t around). we took off on a tuesday AM and came back the next evening. so, we expected to see the yankees and sox, but totally didn’t anticipate also getting to see the naked cowboy in times square – what a treat.

and we certainly didn’t think we’d run into matthew lesko (the guy from tv who “TEACHES YOU HOW TO GET MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT”) while at the uniqlo store…..btw, uniqlo is a japanese brand that has recently come across to a couple of US locations and has some pretty sweet cashmere sweaters and stuff at great prices. worth checking out when you go to nyc – if you’re into that sort of thing.

coming out of the store and heading south, brad and i went down to one of my favorite nyc spots, the trinity church, downtown. here’s a flag placed in front of alexander hamilton’s grave.

that night it was off to yankee stadium (as seen from monument park)

here is the video from the yankees game where a vendor tries to take brad down

here are brad, larry not the legend (who had been working nearby) and me at the game’s end.

that night we met up with bp (who was graciously allowing us to stay in his posh suite in times square) and were out eating sushi in midtown til well past 2.

the next morning, we had realized that the us open was in town. we didn’t have any big plans for the day, so we decided to walk over and scalp tix. anyway, ont he trip over we stopped by one of my other favorite views in nyc, st patricks from below the feet of atlas.

and then out to flushing meadows. we got center court seats and took in the number one ranked player in the world, jelena jankovic

then we saw the number 3 ranked guy (djokovic) before we headed over to the side courts to watch some of the lesser players

we then hopped a cab, hopped a plane and got home in time for a late dinner with lillis – a great two day tour.

and here are the rest of the photos from the trip.

    • Camping Weekend June 9, 2007
      sooooo, i was able to convince john and stephen that it would be a good idea for us to spend a weekend out in the woods with no food and no hair dryers (more a concern for stephen than for me - and less so every day). we found our way up to the greater […]
