Jen & Chris
This past weekend ten.eleven.photo shot it's first wedding. And it was in fact my first wedding as well. It was a great day! And I can't wait for our next couple weddings in March. This is a bit of a longer post than usually but we ended up with A LOT of shots. Enjoy!

Work Shoot
Last week I shot a manufactering facility in LA for Lighthouse. One LONG day... six and a half hours of straight shooting before I saw a break or food. But I survived :) and am pleased with the pics, which makes it all worth while. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

LMFAO
Last night I was sitting at my computer minding my own business when a little window popped up, called "AIM". This window told me to visit a given link. Said link lead me to a little wesite called, Amazon.com. Once there I began to read a book review by Ari Brouillette. Book of topic was "The Secret", and the title for particular review was "'The Secret' saved my life!". I began to read, and instantly I was in a complete of confusion as to why 'the little window' prompted me to read this review. At last I reached the end... and I was in love. This writer completely captivated me. I clicked on the reviewers profile and began to read more and more reviews that were absolutely amazing. I felt compelled to share this enlightened and unique story teller with all of you. P L E A S E go read "'The Secret' saved my life". It's more than worth it. And if you happen to like it continue to read all of Ari's reviews. I strongly recommend it.

The Zoo
Busy week last week... that is before I got sick for 3 days. Which is why these are going up after the fact. But anyway, in addition to NYE and NYD we managed to go to the Tournament of Roses post-parade (see below) AND hit up the San Diego Zoo the next day. I haven't been to the Zoo since I was a kid and I've never been to the San Diego Zoo, so it was a great experience. In fact, I got a season pass (honestly even if I hated the zoo it was literally less than $10 more to get the season pass over the single day admission). But it was a lot of fun and I look forward to going back soon. Especially, to go check out the Wild Animal Park.
Tournament of Roses
Last week Bri and I cruised out to Pasadena to check out the floats in the post parade exibit. I haven't seen the floats in person as an adult so it was cool in that respect. BUT wow... SOOO many people... the pic below doesn't even begin to describe the amount of people there. It was crazy! The fact that I got ANY pics without someone pushing their way in amazed me. Anywho, here's a few pics to give you a taste of what we saw. Enjoy!

Love/bug
Soooo... I was on a blog and saw a post about "50 things I love and 50 things that bug". And a challenge to post things you love or that bug. Well, being as over zealous as I am I put together a list of 50 things I love and 50 things that bug... turns out the challenge was to only post one thing (mind you the competition deadline had long passed I just wanted to do it for fun) So, to not waste the effort and thought I put in here you go!
P.S. thanks Jessica Claire

Goodbye 08...
Well, it's been a great year and I wanted to take a little look back at some of my favorite photos and moments. I enjoy these pics for different reasons; some I enjoy the photographic aspect, some the humor, some the sentimental meaning, some the event or experience as a whole, and some just because. I believe it's 55 in all, and the first ten are my absolute favs (hence the larger format). So here they are, enjoy!
