After coming home from the Mammoth men trip and shooting two weddings this weekend, I'm just beginning to dig myself out of the mountain of work that piled up while I was gone.

A couple of weeks ago I shot Katherine and Jim's engagement pictures in Seal beach and had the best time. After the shoot they took me to Beachwood BBQ, right on Main St. It was awesome. If you're ever in the area you need to check it out. Make sure to try to Mac and Cheese if you go... its off the hook.

At the end of the shoot we were on the pier and I looked down to see these surfers just waiting to catch the last wave of the day back in. I don't know why but I really like this image.

The books are closed on day three of the most epic man-cation... ever. Here is my visual account of the day. Go look at the MAMMOTH MEN blog for a more complete view of our adventures.

The was a cougar on the prowl in San Miguel... Rene Russo! She took quite a liking to Fred. Presumably because he's the only single guy among us. Oh, and because... she's a cougar!

This morning we checked out the poll to see what our tasks were for the day.  The first one on the docket was to get to Solvang and eat some danish waffles in the Danish capitol of the United States.  We met up with the one and only Jose Villa, had an incredible breakfast and then set out on our next task... picking blueberries.

We had this idea for an image of someones face just covered in blue berries. So Justin volunteered, grabbed a handful of berries and buried his face in them. We all gathered around expecting to see him covered in blue juice. Turns out, blueberries... not so blue.

Last night we set off on the road trip to end all road trips. We got kind of a late start so we only got to stop to take pictures once but here are a few. I'll be posting the images here but you need to check out our RAD roadtrip blog where we'll all be collectively blogging images from the trip. You'll also be able to vote on what we're going to be doing every day.

I'm off to shoot a wedding this weekend in beautiful Tulsa. I'll be out of the office from tomorrow (Thursday) through next Friday. I should have internet access throughout the time I'm away but it might take me a little bit longer than usual to get back with you. Please be patient during this time, I promise to get back to you!

A few weeks ago I shot Jen and Ryan's engagement pictures. The day they picked seemed to be the first overcast day in months. I assured them it would be okay and we went out to one of my favorite new secret spots. We had a great time rolling around in the grass, hoping we weren't going to get attacked by mountain lions which is apparently a real possibility out in the OC wilderness. We made it out alive and I think we got some really great images... I just love them.
