These two warm my heart. It's difficult to put to adequate words, but I am simply enriched by their love for one another. 'Twas a great afternoon taking photographs in a damp but beautiful park, being escorted in a golf cart by a generous Eugene, and talking music and literature and philosophy.
I'm thankful my cameras are still okay.

One of my first weddings was Josh & Pips' Santa Cruz wedding three years back. During our trip to Northern California this past January, Katherine & Moses & myself stayed with Josh & Pips in their Modesto home. It rained the whole time. Within a half-hour break of slight sunshine I took a few portraits of my two friends. Happy Three Year Anniversary.

Natalie & Lukas. Figure skating instructor and perhaps-fireman-to-be. Snowboarders. Canadians. You might not see it, but this was shot over two days - the first day the gondolas going up Grouse Mountain weren't behaving, but the sun was. The second day, we made it to the ice rink. And ended with some mountaintop poutine.]]>
