Shauna decided to throw another awesome party. Zach, our beloved friend highlighted by the orange arrow below, decided to have another birthday. Zach is a manly man, so Shauna made it a "man" themed party. I'm just glad the party wasn't all dudes, which happens around here from time to time.
Check out the decor and treats she came up with.
Sugar cookie fries, "ketchup" frosting, better than heavy petting cake, and a globe. Not sure how that comes into play, but Shauna will. Ask her. :)
A little something to wash it down. Scholars maintain Henry Weinhard was a Mormon, that's why his Root Beer is so good. That may or may not be a highly fictitious statement.
Some Cake and Brownie sliders, courtesy of our little Betty Crocker from the Far East - Dre.
I think they should call these "Cuban Pretzels." Fidel would love these.
Chocolate Meatballs. YUUUUUUUMMMM!
Just a quick reminder of how good the sugar cookie french fries were.
Some mustached gentlemen...
The birthday boy Zach. Fun fact - I forgot to take a good pic of Zach at the party so I had to pull this one from the archives. Shame on me.
Happy Birthday Zach.

Jeff Brown is not my uncle. He is; however, an uncle to some rad miniature humans. His nieces and nephews came down last week for his birthday party. We had a great time BBQ'in, watching the USA fall apart vs. Brazil and playing with the kids in the street.
Here's a few for Darrel and Lise :)

These two are not Jeff's nieces. Just want to make sure we are all on the same page here.
I'm pretty sure he learned this one from his Aunt Ashly, or maybe Uncle Drew, who probably learned it from Cody, but definitely not Uncle Jeff.

Thank you whiskeymilitia.com for supplying my closet with happiness. Happy Birthday JB. I'm already looking forward to next year's "over the hill" celebration.
Ashly:
Andrew learned it from Cody and then taught it to me who then taught Carter.

It was once rumored that Kevin Costner was able to Dance with Wolves. Ever since that day I have been jealous. Since there aren't any wolves here in Huntington Beach, I decided my next best bet would be dolphins.
I have this friend. Her name is Sara. Sara is awesome. Not only does she share my same passion for wolves, but she also knows how to dance with dolphins. She was kind enough to invite me on her "boat" (the Ritz Carlton on water) and show me the way to dolphin-land. This is our story.
Our ride. 80+ feet of Mari-good-times.
Shoes are not allowed on the boat. Can you guess which are mine? I'll give you a hint....they're not the Tory Burch knock-offs.
Shauna was looking rather Shavy.

HW and the Sebra. Gems in human form.
I believe this was Diversity.
Oh Sarah....just loungin' on the starboard bow.
B Parker. Party.
Brandon. Party.
On the big boat, passing the small boat.
Patiently gazing into the sunset, hoping for that chance to dance with dolphins.
And then they appeared. It was as if they had been waiting all day. The swam next to the boat for about 15 minutes. A very cool experience indeed. Did I dance with one? Negative. Those dolphins play hard to get. So typical.

I shot this with my 24mm wide-angle lens. That's how close they were. Kevin Costner will be so proud.

I dig the new blog look. I also love catching glimpses of my tomodachi. Glad you're keeping him company. Say 'konnichiwa' to him for me, k? Oh, and nice shots.

When I was originally hired to fly up to Utah to photograph the Tooele High School 10-year reunion I was ecstatic. I had high expectations of an awesome photobooth experience at a high school reunion. I was not disappointed. Tooele High brought the rain....literally.
Here's a few that I liked. There's a little surprise even at the end....
