Silverado Canyon Fire

So I get a few photos from my house, and from various other spots here in the RSM / Mission Viejo area of the fire that is burning in Silverado Canyon.

Here are some photos of the fire from my front yard. It looks close, but in reality, it is probably about a mile or more from my house as the crow flies. (Yea, I realize a mile is not all that far...but with no wind, the fire is not moving near as fast.)

From the front yard...

From the back yard...

From Los Flores which runs along the top of O'Neil Park...

From Mission Viejo looking towards the Portola Hills area...

Finally, a photo from today...no...the sky in not overcast...its smoky...

Updates to my Site and Some Wedding Photos

First off, I have finally updated my Website to reflect some of the newest images that I have taken over the past few months. Most of the new images can be seen in the Wedding, and Engagement galleries. Check 'em out! In addition, I updated the home splash page to reflect links that take you to my site, my blog, and the marching band photo page. (The 2007 Marching band show is next weekend...more on that soon)

Secondly...

As I mentioned in my last post, my two friends Nate and Sarah got married on the 6th of October. I was Nate's best man in the wedding, so I was unable to take all the photos that I usually take when I cover a wedding. Never-the-less, I did manage to tag along with Mandy, who was the official photographer of the day, and snap a few photos of my two friends after the ceremony

I admit, it took me much longer to process the images than I had planned on, but with time, I was able to finally get them done. Here are some of my favorites...

Engagement Photos...

So two of my really good friends, Nate and Sarah, are getting married tomorrow!! Its supper exciting and i have no doubt that the wedding will be amazing. Although I am Nates best man, I do still plan on having my camera there so that i can take photos as much as possible of the reception and details...but it might be a little hard to get those nice ceremony shots seeing how I will be in the wedding.

Anyway, its going to be so awesome...cant wait!

Now, onto the topic of this post. I took the engagement photos for Nate and Sarah about a week or so ago now, and i have been meaning to post them...since the wedding is tomorrow, I figured that today was as good a time as any. Here are a few of my favorites.










I need to update my website too to reflect the latest round of photos that I have taken...maybe I do that this weekend...Check the blog for update announcements to my website. Oh, and check back in a few days for some photos from their wedding!
