Maui ...

Ten years of wedding 'bliss' celebrated in Maui! Here are a few photos from various activities!

10 Year Wedding Anniversary

Friday, November 6, 2009 was my 10 year wedding anniversary. Susana and I were married 10 years ago at the St. Julian Eymard Catholic Church in Algiers. We had a traditional wedding with traditional photography. I received a traditional wedding book of 4x6 proofs and an order form ... we never ordered any of the proofs. A few years ago, I purchased the negatives from our photographer a few years ago hoping that I would be able to create an album for my wife. I am not a traditional photographer and of course the pictures were not at all what I 'needed' for my wife's album - a lot of flash and traditional, static poses. I'm not complaining about the photography, but ten years later, we do not shoot this way anymore. After scanning the negatives and a lot of color correctin', I finally put together a flushmount album for Susana. It's actually a 10X10 leather bound book with a canvas image cover and silver gilding. Ten years from now I will be criticizing my work, too!

A house full of kids ...

My brother-in-laws spent their birthday weekend in Miami for the Saints game and Marc Anthony concert. We 'took in' three of the big kids! We had a lot going on this weekend to say the least ... two soccer games Saturday morning, homework projects, Boo At the Zoo, (I had a shoot Saturday night, also), mass on Sunday, and another soccer game on Sunday afternoon.





Boo at the Zoo ... even though they didn't make it ... too many people!














Catherine's homework project ... it's an Indian pumpkin!

Mario, Luigi, and Miles!

Miles will be 8 on October 21st ... wow! He's been wanting a Mario party for some time and he's really excited. So, this evening after school, I fired up the camera, lights, and Photoshop to create his invitation.
