Weekend In Tahoe

This past weekend I drove up to North Shore Lake Tahoe to meet up with my girlfriend who was on a work retreat. Turned out everyone from her company was leaving a day early so we had the whole cabin to ourselves. Saturday night we had dinner at Garwoods just north of Tahoe City. A buddy of mine recommended we try that place out and have a few "wet woody's ." I'll have to say the food was excellent along with the service. This restaurant had a warm elegant atmosphere thanks to the candle lit tables and the live music coming from the bar area. Both of us tried the wet woody which had all kinds of different alcohol mixed in it.....and I do have to say it was damn good. If I wasn't driving I would of had 2 or 30 of em :) The next time you're on the North Shore go get yourself a nice big "wet woody" ;) After dinner we walked out onto the pier right outside of Garwood and took a few long exposure photos of the pier itself. Sunday we woke up around 8ish to clean up the cabin and check on out. We both were dying for some cofffeeeee so we headed down to the "Dam Coffee Shop" to enjoy a nice cup of joe while sitting outside. After our wake up juice we jumped into the car and drove around the lake to Emerald Bay to hike around and take some scenic photos. All I have to say is that it was absolutely beautiful up there.

Ocean Speedway , Watsonville CA

Click Here to view some of the photos from Brads 4 banger race.  So last Friday night I was out in Watsonville freezing my ace off taking photos of my buddy Brad racing his 87 Honda Accord. What's damn funny is that my parents are the original owners of the car... then it was passed onto me and I sold it to another buddy who sold it to Brad.  My poooor old Honda!!! 

The race consisted of cars that were 1990's or earlier. The cars had to have stock 4 cylinder engines and also have  front wheel drive.  As you can see in the photos they were driving on a mud / dirt track. At times I'd get pelted with mud while trying to get a good shot in. At least my camera never got hit :)  Nothing like coming home to find mud in your hair. Good times!!

A Night Out With My Bro

Tonight my lil bro and I jumped in my car and headed to down town San Jose. The plan was to try and find a train yard with a view. Well since I'm lame and I don't know my own city.... nor where this train station is that I want to photograph we ended up on top of a parking structure. Wasn't really we were looking for but we did manage to get a few good shots in. CLICK HERE to check them out.

Easter Sunday

Isn't she just too cute ? I took this photo of my niece little Miss Maegan on Easter Sunday while she was on her very first Easter egg hunt. I've never seen a child as giving as her. She just loves to share everything she has with you. While on her hunt, at first she'd collect the plastic eggs and toss them into her basket. That is until she found out you can open the egss and well to her surprise there's candy inside. Once she'd open the egg up she would share the candy with everyone. Here some for you, a little for you and you..... Ha I don't recall doing that when I was younger. I think it was more like I was tossing elbows with my brother fighting over eggs or bragging that I collected more : )

Lanee's St. Patrick's Party

Click Here to view just some of the many shots I took from last nights party. I do have to say I had a blast last night and I also met a lot of great people. Now once again, for some odd reason the camera man got flipped off a lot while taking pictures.... But hey, I'm getting used to it now which is great :P Either way the party was awesome! There was beer pong going on in the garage and card games going on in the backyard. Mean while Lanee and her friends where tearing it up on the dance floor haha. When's the next party Lanee? Count me in!! Oh and next time perhaps you should invite the cool neighbor in the robe to your party. It looked like she wanted to join in the festivities :)

A Day Around The City

Click Here to see a few of the photos I took this past weekend while cruising around the City with my cousin. We started our adventure driving down hwy 1 and ended up stopping in Pacifica. Found a spot to park the truck and decided to climb this mountain side...... Oh man am I out of shape. I was out of breath and my legs were on FIRE! I could of used an oxygen tank :) Too make things worse when we finally got to the top of the hill the view was just okay. So we popped off a few shots and decided to hike down the beast and head into the city. After driving around SF for a bit we thought why not head back up to Twin Peaks and check out the sunset. Wow I forgot how windy and cold it can be up there. I thought my ears were going to freeze and fall off. After taking a few photos of the sunset we called it a day. It was just to damn cold up there.... Yah we're a couple of big sissies :P

Golden Gate Bridge

Okay, it's been way to long since I've photographed anything.... so yesterday I called up my cousin and informed him that we are going to make a trip up to SF and photograph the Golden Gate Bridge. Why not?? It's not like I have better things to do on a Sat. night... hmmm. So anyhow we found a great lookout point...... and well, so did a bunch of stoners. Even though we were a good 100 feet away from these guys it smelled like they were standing at my side. I think I got 2nd hand weed smoke. Well HERE ARE just a few of the photos I took last night. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
