Today

Get your picture taken with your alpaca! SCORE! The others are from a portrait I had to take of pastor Ralph Hughes. 94, author, and all around great guy. Slowly starting to get the hang of portraits, or at least I feel like I am.

100th POST!

Hooray, I have made a 100 posts now! Anywho, I shot swimming and diving for the first time today. Always kind of excited to shoot something new, and this challenged me for sure. It was way more difficult to shoot than I thought it would be, and on top of that I couldn't figure out the roster and had to chase people down like crazy to get names. It was still fun though, even though it got stressful at points.

Aztec ceremony

Got the chance to shoot an Aztec Ceremony of Harvest today. It was a really interesting experience, and really warm inviting people.

Almar Orchards

Hung out on an apple orchard today. Really nice guys that I got to hang out with. Really nice relaxing day.

Sleeping Bear Dunes

On a random whim I went with Emily and Hollyn to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was awesome, tiring, very cold, and beautiful all wrapped up into one quick trip. I think that is the end of all possible camping trips of the year, which is sad, but I am sure we will find more adventures to get into.

Dr. Bauer

I have been archiving lately. Digging through all my old pictures and hating myself for not making a workable intelligent archive until now. So there is tons of fun going through about 2 years worth of images that are scattered to who knows where. I have come across some goofy ones that I forgot about, the good files of ones I could never hope to find, and ones like the one above where I am glad I have a camera.

Its been right about a year now since Dr. Bauer died, and I am glad I have this picture to remember that night the entire school mourned his death. He was an amazing man in more ways than I could put into words, and was a solid foundation when I needed it most during my senior year at his school. I always regret never having taken a picture with him, but even though I don't have that, at least this can remind me how much he meant to so many people, and that I was not the only person whose life he affected so greatly.

Soccer time!

So I took all the pictures the newspaper wanted, and had a late deadline, so I put on the 35 and had fun. Might not be the best pictures of all time, but I had a blast shooting them.

Athens

Went to Athens for the opening weekend and drug Jared along for the ride. Got an opportunity to visit some great friends and meet some new ones. Chilled all day, rode bikes, jumped off a bridge, unicycled, found 20 bucks, danced like crazy, reminisced, and made new memories. It was a weekend that was a welcome change of pace from the daily grind of Michigan. Wish that it could have lasted longer.
