I am a sucker for end of year lists.
I don’t know what it is but no matter what the topic is, when I see that link or see a preview on TV, I have no choice but look at them. Last year I did a similar blog post and it was one of my favorite posts and to continue the tradition I give you my favorite photographs from 2010 you probably have not seen!
Off the Grid
I am in Key West Florida, maybe 15 miles or so north of Key West in the keys and I stop to take some photos. At that very moment this “boat” pulls out from the cove. I could try and explain what I saw. I could tell you on the side of the “boat” it says “Off the grid living”. I could try and convince you that this “boat” made it to the Keys from North Carolina. I could tell you that if you look really close the “boat” has a website on it. I could tell you the website is designed WORSE than his “boat”?
Or.
Just click this link for the whole story.
Nighttime Geocaching
If you have been around me for any period of time, you know one of my hobbies I do not get to do anywhere near as much as I like is Geocaching. Don’t ask, just click the link. There is a phenomenal nighttime geocache that my cousin Joel and my friend Hollywood went out and visited over the summer. The final stop takes you to well know graveyard that is rife with urban lore. Here is a link to the actual geocache if you are brave enough to attempt it.
Brown Pelicans in Mexico
I caught these brown pelicans cruising just over the water right before sunrise when I was in Puerto Vallarta Mexico shooting Nicole and Hector’s Wedding.
Oh Canada
There is just so much going on here, I really do not know what to say about it. Maybe I will leave that to Doug, Hector or Jose. Help me out!
Jayden
I can’t really get a grip on why I like this photo so much of Jayden but it is one of my favorite photos I took of him this year.
HI!
So I am shooting Jaci and Nathan’s wedding and from behind me I hear crazy laughing and “Oh my God, does it say “hi” on your a–?”. So I have to see what the heck is going on and well, just look at the picture. This needs to be a promo for hand held steamers that you can travel with. Now the questions is how this happened? Any theories?
Caption this photo.
I couldn’t come up with a good caption for this photo, so I will leave it up to you. Post a comment for what the caption should be and I will add it the blog 🙂
Me and you kid, we have something in common
This is soooo how I was a kid, I can’t imagine how I made it through my childhood with both my eyes and all ten of my fingers still working.
My sister can find them…
This is my brother in law, Drew. His hobbies include beating me at Guitar Hero, traveling with bands and riding motorized lifts at old churches.
One person is scared
Jayden, with Uncle Brian and about to plow into his cousin Kayla at Monkey Joe’s. I can’t help noticing that there is only one person who seems to not be having fun.
My start
Landscapes and my love of the outdoors is where I first fell in love with photography, so when I get the time to take these photos, I just gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling.
The 2 trouble makers
Tyler and Jayden. I can not believe the one liners that have come out of their mouth’s through the years. “I knocked my own tooth out while playing catch with myself!” and “Oh look at that bug that was in my hair, no wonder my head has been itching!” are my favorites.
Stressing
The truth is that I stress over every wedding I have ever shot. I do not know what it is about them that causes it but its bad. Sometimes I feel I could throw up before and even during the wedding. That is part of the reason I love to shoot them. There is just something about being under pressure that I have always thrived on. I took this photo right before I was to start shooting Hector and Nicole’s wedding Puerto Vallarta because I could just feel the “anvil” on my shoulders. Welcome to my world.
There you go, I hope these photos let you in a little to my day to day life. I thank all of you who spend time following my work and help make me better. A huge thanks to all the brave couple who have trusted me to be their photographer for the most important day of their lives!
Here is to hoping that 2011 will be a year that we can all laugh, love and smile more than we did this year!
