I recently got a new sample album for the new line of wedding album I am providing, which I feel is more in line with my personal taste of having a classic, yet contemporary, look. The pages are printed on photo paper and mounted on rigid pages, and the cover is silk fabric. And the photos themselves are ok! Here’s a brief slideshow of the book, feel free to contact me for an in-person look.

Haven’t posted any travel photos in a while, so here are a few from the northern Portugal of Porto.  Porto is the second largest city and the region is home of port wine.  We made the obligatory visit to one of the port wine cellars.  As with some other places, it would have been great to have some more time to spend there, but it was great nonetheless.   

I got to meet my new nephew for the first time this past weekend.  He’s eight months old and was crawling around, trying to get to my camera.  Perhaps he’ll be a photographer like I am.  But it was fun meeting the little guy.  Here are a few shots that I got: 

This past weekend, I had the extreme pleasure of hanging out with Emily and Matt.  They’re Midwesterners currently living in the Boston area, and there was no way I could have said no to an opportunity to visit my home state.  In between visiting relatives, we got together for their engagement shoot.  Here are some of the highlights:

And what’s more Boston than the T? 

I’m reporting to you today from Logan Airport in Boston, MA, as I wait for my flight home from a weekend here in the area.  First of all, special thanks to Emily and Matt for hanging out with me for their engagement session, I had a lot of fun! 

The following photo was taken Sunday on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, which is the tallest point in New England.  If you’re afraid of heights, the drive up to the top is definitely not for you.  It’s an interesting place, with the summit being about 30 degrees cooler than at the base.  Anyway, it was fun driving through New Hampshire, it’s definitely different than Missouri. 

Went out to support my wife for her 2nd Race for Cure 5k (and her fourth 5k so far).  Didn’t take too many photos, since I was half asleep, but I did get this one as I was trying to take advantage of the awesome morning light.

Well Royals fans, you got what was coming to you.  After managing to win 4-3 on Monday and gloating obnoxiously, your team has lost the past two games to the Sox by the same score, 8-2.  Oh yeah, and you’ve lost 6 of 7 games to the Sox this season. 

As Stu Scott says, “Booyah!”

Well, last night’s Sox vs. Royals game didn’t go as hoped, with the Sox losing by a run, despite being within a single from winning.  I have no real problem with the loss because I’ve gotten a bit spoiled with my favorite teams winning.  However, I’d like to offer Royals fans the following bit of wisdom: don’t gloat like you’ve won the World Series when you’ve got a losing record (and when the Sox have won 3 out of 4 games against you this season, including a no-hitter).  That said, I made some half-baked attempts at photography; unless you have on field access and some super long lenses, it’s hard to take good photos of the action itself, so I just tried to do some environmental photos.

Here’s one of Arrowhead, since Kauffman is basically a big construction zone. 

If you visit regularly, you may recall an earlier post here where I captured Cindy during sunset.  Well I happened to catch Debbie in the same spot yesterday morning, so I grabbed the ol’ camera and got this shot.
