We had to get Koa ready for Easter Sunday so a little dog polo and a mango scented bath was called for. A few portraits after her spa treatment.

Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly
Noticed a sow bug on the ground while I was working in the yard… So I shot em. I can’t tell you how difficult this is. The front element of my lens (M-PE 65mm) is so close and every time it moves, I have to shift the tray then refocus. It’s a pain in the …
Samage
Just on a whim I asked if I could shoot Sam. Bill quickly brought him over.
Canine Model Shoot
Did our regular thing. Got Koa, lather rinse repeat, pick up her crap & shoot portraits. I wanted to get some grossly distorted wide angle shots, but she had other things on the agenda. She’s such a princess.
Buggy
I’ve been sick all week and I’m going crazy with nothing to do… Got some bugs from the backyard an asked if I could shoot a few portraits of them. They graciously agreed. This is so hard to get sharp focus as my eyesight is horrible these days.

Sylvia a family friend, asked me to photograph her glass art work. Thinking it would be a snap I quickly agreed. I found out the hard way that shooting glass is really difficult. Her work is beautiful so I wanted to do it justice. The wave sculpture below would not accept any side light as …
Blue Angels 2014
I’ve tried to shoot them a couple of times as they took off from the Oakland airport during their practice runs. Sunday after we got home from the wedding we made the last minute decision to ferry into the City to photograph the Blue Angels. Like an idiot I thought I would be the only …
Wedding Bells ♫
This past Saturday we witnessed the wedding of Mary Ann (Bunny) & Quan. The ceremony was at the Five Wounds Church. It was a full catholic mass… in Vietnamese. Not wanting to step on the hired photog toes I only shot a couple. Reception was held at the Dolce Hayes Mansion.
Jenn & Dodger
I haven’t shot a portrait in awhile so what better time than now! Luckily our neighbor Jennifer was willing and I asked her bring Dodger. I couldn’t have chosen a worse day. The wind prevented me from using any light modifiers on my speedlites. I was just about to send her a text message to …
Finally Humphrey
Up until recently I just had my camera handy near the back door in case Humphrey came along to feed. In an effort to elevate my photography, I started to light my Humphrey shots. Well of course when I set up my scene he never comes or decides to go elsewhere in the yard. Well …
