Green’s Day – Family Fun.

I went to the Green’s house today to do family pictures. They live in Hillsborough – near Burlingame. We had a fun time… but maybe I should have left the merry-go-round until the end. I was feeling a little sour to the stomach for the rest of the shoot. Good fun, I wish that we would have had more time. Here are a couple of pictures. Enjoy.

Artist Workshop

Mira Betz lives just down the street from me. She is an amazing belly dancer, and a wonderful artist (and a good friend). I cruised over to her place to hang out the day before yesterday. She is in town for a couple of days in between touring. Talk about one hard working lady. Just back from Canada, Venezuela, and I can’t keep track of all the places, she is off again tomorrow for I don’t even know where. We had a chance to catch up a bit, and I took a couple of pictures of her workshop (remember the artist bit). And then today, I went over and helped her on a fun project that she is working on for a friend (the rock pictures). Anyway, if you ever have a chance to see her perform, don’t pass it up. Here are some images. Enjoy!

Vancouver Vacation

After 5 weddings in 3 weeks between the end of September and the beginning of October, I thought it might be nice to take a little vacation. Loretta and I went up to Vancouver to hang with my father and step-mother. We chilled at their place on the West side of the City and then drove/ ferried up to Pender Harbor where we stayed at the Painted Boat. We ended up doing a lot of hanging out and playing bananagrams (a totally fun word game). Oh, yeah, we are some serious party animals. It was a nice break from the craziness at home. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Family Fun Time with the Murphy Brettell Clan

Facebook is good for more than funny little games that tell you about yourself and checking out pictures of people you don’t know.

Thanks to Facebook, I was reconnected with an old high school friend of mine, Leah Murphy, who is living in the UK with her husband and super cute kid. And, as luck would have it, her family decided to have me come out and do a family shoot while she was in town for a visit.

We met at her parents place in Marin County – in the San Rafael / Peacock Gap area, and cruised over to China Camp for a little fresh air and pictures with the fam. If you haven’t been to China Camp, do yourself a favor and check it out. It is totally neat. Okay, here are some pictures. Enjoy!
