The M8 about town

A few images from stores around town. I found a lot of interesting colors and textures.

You could count the beads just from this frame.



Though I usually put pictures in black frames, this rainbow of options reminds me of my website where the background frame changes to match the photos.



Two more playing with a more shallow depth of field:


This zebra ride is reminiscent of a carousel animal.

Riki and Nick's Wedding

Today I went to Tiburon to photograph the wedding of Riki and Nick who chose this city as it was where they first met and fell in love.

A closeup of the detail's on Riki's custom sash:


Here was the gorgeous view outside the Corinthian Yacht club that was the setting for both their ceremony and reception.


During this solemn moment of prayer one of the flower girls, Kennedy, at the left, was instead peeking out into the audience.


Enjoying their first dances as husband and wife, in both serious and fun moments.

Pangea Day

Today is Pangea Day, where films made all over the world were shown at the same time all over the planet. I was at JJ's Blues to watch the show locally, which for us in California was from 11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. My favorite films included "One Thousand Words" (fiction: a man follows clues to try to return a lost camera), "Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars" (documentary: people at a refugee camp improve lives by singing), "Elevator Music" (fiction: people use cell phones to play their own music, with a great twist at the end), "Walleyball" (documentary: volleyball games on a beach divided by a slat wall between Americans and Mexicans, and "I Remember Lebanon" (documentary: a woman who left her country explains what she remembered there during times of peace, and why the world should care as much during peacetime as during war).

The films were funny and sad, the music was great. I really felt part of the one world concept. For me visually, the best time to take photos was during the Laughter Yoga segment, where they had everyone get up and laugh as one, some favorite moments:
