Catchup Post #5: Babysitting

Ella
It’s hard not to be happy when in the company of my niece Ella. Amanda and I got to babysit her for an evening back in June. She has grown up so much in just a few short months.

Weird People Are Everywhere
Yesterday I saw a guy walking down the street with a huge parrot on his shoulder. No biggie.

Catchup Post #4: Dave’s Bachelor Party in Lake Tahoe
One of the reasons why I’ve been so busy this year is because of all the big events. Along with three weddings (mine included) comes three bachelor parties. As of this post, we’ve already gone through two of them, and they’ve both been an awesome time. I’ll get to the second one in a future post, but first things first.
Dave was the first to get married this year, so to celebrate we planned a guy’s weekend in Lake Tahoe. I’ve never been there before, but have seen Dave’s video from his trips and it looked amazing. It was as blue and awesome as I imagined which really lent itself towards taking a lot of very blue photographs. I invested in a polarizing filter for my relatively new dSLR camera. The weekend was filled with Kan Jam, wine, hiking and biking. I took a ton of pictures so check out a few below and a couple of sets on Flickr too:

Catchup Post #3: Angels & Airwaves at 9:30 Club

Angels and Airwaves at 9:30 Club
Back in May – one of my many favorite bands over the last 5 years is Angels and Airwaves. Couple that with my favorite local venue – 9:30 club, and you got a great night. As always, I locked down my position at the back bar right by the VIP area. Good vantage point with easy access to the back bar. That’s just how it goes in my old age. Check out the rest of the pictures here on Flickr.
