My Favorite Photographer

Last April, Kathy and I spent the weekend in San Diego to attend the annual Chicano Park car show. We got there early and found 50+ cars had already arrived with what seemed like 100 more vying for parking places. After the show we walked past a small market with an interesting and very colorful wall mural. I convinced Kathy to pose for just a few shots. She hates being in front of a camera but as usual, she looked lovely. If you'd like to see Kathy's photography head over to www.tweakedpixels.com

This is my beautiful wife Kathy. While she really doesn't like being on the lens side of a camera, she let me take this shot of her while we were waiting for our lunch to be served at the Prado restaurant in San Diego's Balboa Park. It was a beautiful day and Kathy looked lovely. An amazingly talented photographer and graphic designer, you can see her work at www.tweakedpixels.com

She Calls the Shots

My wife Kathy takes a break from schooling me and looks over her shots. While I tend to shoot wide angle, her favorite optic is a 20 year old Minolta Maxxum 100mm F2.8 Macro lens. This is a very sharp, fast and contrasty lens and she really knows how to use it to maximum effect. You can see her photographs here.

Kathy and I return to the site of our wedding a little more than one year later.

Dorothy, Kathy and Margaret in front of the OC Performing Arts Center's Sign for the Phantom of the Opera which we were all there to see. The scenery was great as always but the male leads didn't really have great voices like you would expect to hear from someone playing the lead roles in Phantom. The female singing was very good.

A change in my life

Kathy at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on our wedding day October 10, 2007! We were married about 10 minutes after this picture was taken right where she is standing. It was such a beautiful day even though it had rained all thru the previous night.
