On Wednesday I washed my car and re-shot it with some better light.  I also ordered a canvas print of this for an example I am showing at a photo shoot even in November.  I hope it turns out cool!

Travis has done a lot to his Honda CBR600RR since you’ve seen it last. I don’t know if I can remember everything, but he’s put on an exhaust, removed the rear license plate/turn signals assembly and replaced it with a smaller setup, replaced the rear seat with a cowl, 4 frame sliders, gold levers, flush mount front turn signals, smoked front windscreen… I think that’s it.

Looks pretty effing sweet, doesn’t it?

I shot some photos of Travis’ motorcycle today and when I was done, I shot my car. It’s been ages since I shot my car!

We had so much fun at Song’s bridal shower!  It went off without a hitch.  There was food, there were games, and presents, oh were there presents!  Song made out like a bandit.  And Jeff did as well, I suppose, ha ha.  Here are some of the photos I took along the way.

There were more pictures but I can’t show those to you!

It’s only a month away, now.  As some of you know, I go to Vegas every year for the SEMA show.  It’s a week long convention of endless amounts of car parts, accessories, modifications and cars in general.  It’s basically my Mecca.  We’ll be driving out on November 3rd and coming home November 7th.

This will be my 5th show, with only one year off back in ‘05 because I had strep throat.  But this year is special.  My good friend, Song, is getting married while all of our friends are in Vegas!  She and her fiance are both car fanatics as well.  And she adores vegas so it seemed like the perfect time and place to to exchange vows.

One more thing, I am her maid of honor!!  It is really an honor to be part of their wedding.  I have a lot to do with planning and organizing things, such as; the bachelorette party!  Party in Vegas, it can’t get any better!

Vegas, here we come!

The happy couple.

The photography message board that I post on everyday had a thread asking you to show off your glasses.  So I took this silly picture of me.

Two Fridays ago, the daughter of the VP of sales at my last company (the car dealership) was found face down and unconscious in their hot tub. Her dad went in the hot tub the night before and was going to put the cover back on in the morning but he ended up leaving before the sun came up so he didn’t see the hot tub in the morning and totally forgot.

She was blue, her mouth was foaming and the fire department later told her parents that they didn’t think she was going to make it.

In the hospital she would wake up with blank stares like there was no life inside of her. The doctors told her parents that she had brain damage and would never be the same if she survived at all.

I think it was two days later, she went into a deep sleep and when she woke up, she opened her eyes, looked at her dad and said, “Dadda, up!”

And now she’s fine! I went over there last week and took some pictures of her for the family (and for myself).

Pictures I took from the pier and around the pier.

Over the weekend, I went to Santa Barbara to visit my mom and visit all my favorite places. And also to eat at all my favorite restaurants, ha ha. On Friday, after I rode into town, I drove up OSM, aka Old San Marcos, my favorite road, and hit ECC (East Camino Cielo) to Knapp’s Castle. This is one of my most favorite places to escape to.

Here’s a short history about the landmark:

These are some of the pictures I took while I was up there.

Played around in Photoshop for a while and came up with this. Is it too much? I like that it’s dramatic.
