Greg & Stan

Once a month for the past few months I have been getting together with two of my oldest friends( they have been my friends the longest, they are not old). We went to High School together, and hung out a lot through early college, when we started beginning families of our own. After a long time of sporadic contact, it is really nice to get together like this. Tonight we went to a resturaunt in Doylestown. I have never been there, but it always seemed appealing. We were surprised to find the largest menu of beers I have ever seen. We shared a number of obscure selections, all a far cry from the Coors Light, Bud, or Blue Bull we shared years ago. Double Chocholate Stout, who knew! Oh yeah, we had dinner too.
I started going with a black and white image to go along with February being b&w month, but the bottles needed some color.

Happy Birthday Dalissa

I had to post this for the crown, and to complete my wife's photo. For the 180 view, take a look at Dalissa's post!

Happy Birthday Chocholate fondue!

Anthony & Suzanne

One year ago today I photographed the wedding of a wonderful and happy couple. Anthony and Suzanne decided to relive the day a bit by doing a first anniversary photo session. It is such a pleasure to be part of the lives of such nice people. I look forward to capturing future events in their lives. This is what I love about my job!

The Best Part of Making Brownies

"BIG"

Once a year I get to play Tom Hanks. I spent the evening with about 12 8-12 year old boys. Our AWANA group has an annual Father/Son sleep over at the church. We spend some time working with power tools(not my specialty), making pinewood derby cars, and the rest of the time playing(the pictured cushin diving was an early evening event). Only 3 of the Dad's actually stayed, and two of them were asleep by 1:00. This left me playing capture the flag until 4 am. None of the boys went to bed before this. Capture the flag has become a much anticipated tradition. This is the 4th year in a row we have done it, and all the other Dad's basically rely on the fact that I am going to stay up and play with the kids. They say I am the resident insomniac. Fair enough. Capture the flag was one of my favorite games growing up, and it is fun to revert a bit. There is nothing like sneaking around a dark church in the middle of the night. It is quite big, and we use the whole space to play the game. Ahhhh to be 10 again. Jonah and I had a fun night. An extra added bonus to staying up is that the other two Dad's cook breakfast and let me sleep in a bit (9:00)! Now I am back to being the "old man" maybe a nap is in order.

AXED

This is the Broad Axe Tavern. It is hundreds of years old. I have never been there. I have driven by it many times. It is being demolilished. Next week they will probably start building a CVS, just like the one a mile down the road.
Chaya and Eve got haircuts! I need to stop telling Chaya when I am taking her picture. She is going to get stuck like that.

EAT ME

OK, so this may be concidered cheating because I didn't take these pictures today. They are both from weddings that I was working on today. I could not resist posting this example of interesting wedding fare.
