Celebrated my 30th b-day on Monday by enjoying a beautiful day in the city (San Francisco). Chad and I both had the day off and the kids stayed with grandma for the day. We spent the afternoon by the Ferry Building and walked out on the pier that over looks the bay bridge. There were not very man people around and when I asked a older gentleman to take a picture of us, it didn't turnout very well so i decided to prop the camera on my bag leaning slightly upward and had it timed for a shot. I love this picture.....
Here is a rule that I learned when cutting off people's body parts in a picture.
1. Never cut at the joints (elbow, knee etc.)
2. When cutting the head, never cut directly on the neck line.
3. When cutting the body, never cut exactly on the waist line.
4. When cutting a face, never cut half of the face, do less than or more than half. This works vertically or horizontally.
I have always followed this rule and most of the time I have a successful body cutting picture...ha ha. Also, try using this cutting technique when cropping photos... it works just as well.
On another note... just purchased Adobe Lightroom II, which is a great tool for digital photographers and love it. By using this product, you are able to adjust digital photos in a professional way.
Walked around campus last week and took some nice shots. The sun was shining so bright, I wanted to use the light to the fullest. 
My younger sister got married this past weekend (June 13th) and I snapped a few photos. Plan on putting some together for a book. On this page I combined the invitation words and a photo of them walking down the aisle. The brush on the side was also used on the invitation, which add a nice touch.
Headed out to Monterey for Memorial Day weekend and met my sister, her family and my mom and dad. The weather was cold and cloudy, but perfect for pictures.
The beach in Carmel was beautiful and the kids loved running around. It wasn't long until they splashed in the ocean, but I was able to catch some good shots before they got all wet.
Love this one of Megan, she was running around and as I pulled out my camera she stopped and gave me this cute smile.
