My hometown is, well, kind of a big deal

So, if you didn’t know, I grew up in the beach town of Encinitas, just north of San Diego.  It’s always been a pretty big, yet sleepy, surf mecca.  Now at over 60,000 residents, it’s gaining some exposure as home to some of the best surf spots in the United States, including one of the most famous in the world, Swami’s.  Some of the best surfers in the world live there, including Rob Machado, who also went to my high school way back in the day.  Well, now it’s getting some fashion recognition, something you know I have been hoping we’d get for a long time.  *snerk*  The June issue of Vogue magazine features a cover photo shoot with television and movie star Blake Lively, shot on the beaches and streets of the town I love.  It’s pretty cool to see so many recognizable spots, including Swami’s Cafe and Moonlight Beach.  Enjoy this little behind-the-scenes video of the shoot, and check out the June issue of Vogue for the photos!

Sarah + Jason :: A Temecula Anniversary

It’s always an honor to be asked by another photographer to shoot portraits of their family.  On this day, we met up with Sarah and Jason for a few hours to celebrate their ten year anniversary.  Sarah owns Itsy Bitsy Photography, and we have watched her photography for quite some time.  These two are so much fun, and so in love, even after a decade and three little ones.  We explored the Santa Rosa Plateau and some beautiful green fields, enjoying the amazing weather and buttery afternoon light.  It was an incredible day and we can’t wait to shoot them again after another ten years!

The world, frozen in time

This looks like a really cool project, and I hope all of you, professional photographer or not, will participate!

On Sunday, May 2, 2010, at 15:00 UTC (8:00am on the West Coast of the U.S.), take a photo of SOMETHING.  All around the world, at the exact same time, people will be taking one picture of their surroundings, whatever it is.  Wherever you are at that moment, snap a photo.  Here’s more information from the New York Times blog: View full post »

Good times with Flash Mobs

Whether or not you watch the show Glee, and whether or not you’ve ever heard the term “flashmob”, you’ll find this video pretty cool!  Basically, a flashmob is a group of strangers who organize via twitter, Facebook, etc to all meet at a certain time, in a certain place, to do something specific.  In this case, it turned into a 600-person dance-off in Seattle!
