Disneyland Weekend

Just got back from a wonderful bachelorette weekend to celebrate K's upcoming nuptials. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, hung out at the pool, went on oodles of rides, ate amazing food, watched some World of Color, and had a great time with each other. Here are a couple of photos (for my favorite one of the weekend check out my 17/52 Photo Post):

I highly recommend the Bride Mickey ears - I think they got us a lot of things - like riding in the tail cone of the monorail (a first for all of us)! Anyway - a great time, and a great group of girls - can't wait until the wedding!

This past weekend was K's bachelorette party at Disneyland. More photos to follow, but here is this past week's photo for my 52 Week Photo Project:

1/52 - Taking the California out of California Adventure

Last year I really wanted to do a 365 project, but I'm not very good at stopping to take the time to do a worthy photo for a 365 project each day. This year I've decided to do a 52 week project - one photo per week. I'm not aiming to have an amazing photograph each week, and lets be honest, most of them will be from the iPhone (which, as I've said before takes pretty decent photos). To help keep me honest and fulfill one of my latest goals (being more active in the online communities I take part in) I've joined The 52 Weeks Project on Flickr!

Without further adieu - here's week 1/52:

Photo Friday - Shooting with the iPhone

A fellow Etsian turned me on to this video on fstoppers about shooting a full fashion shoot with the "worst camera possible". Aside from the great joke about Olympus, and the entertaining phone call interruption, its a pretty insightful look at how to do great photography without the greatest camera. Of course you have to have a good shoot set up and lighting, but that kind of goes with out saying anyway.

In addition to the video, I'm sharing some of my favorite photos that I've taken on my iPhone 3G (which doesn't have a flash or any type of manual focus):

Happy Friday everyone!

Back and fighting off a cold

I've been somewhat absent from my regularly scheduled life the last few weeks. We had a family reunion of sorts at my parents' house here in San Diego. The last couple of weeks have been incredibly exhausting but also incredibly awesome! With trips to the Zoo, Disneyland, the Del Mar Fair (yes I still call it that), and a family camping trip to Sequoia and King's Canyon life has been pretty jam packed.

I'll get photos up on facebook and flickr soon I'm sure. For now you'll have to be content with the photograph below of some of the family at Disney's California Adventure and at Disneyland. And yes, we had matching shirts...

The Boston portion of the family headed back East on Sunday morning, after which I promptly drove up for a vacation day in Long Beach with Tay, D, and C. Fireworks next to the Queen Mary, while sipping on Sangria on the sun deck at D's place overlooking Long Beach Harbor were the perfect end to a great couple of weeks.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Now back to my regularly scheduled programming...
