I have this friend. Her name is Sara. Sara is awesome. Not only does she share my same passion for wolves, but she also knows how to dance with dolphins. She was kind enough to invite me on her "boat" (the Ritz Carlton on water) and show me the way to dolphin-land. This is our story.
Our ride. 80+ feet of Mari-good-times.
Shoes are not allowed on the boat. Can you guess which are mine? I'll give you a hint....they're not the Tory Burch knock-offs.
Shauna was looking rather Shavy.
HW and the Sebra. Gems in human form.
I believe this was Diversity.
Oh Sarah....just loungin' on the starboard bow.
B Parker. Party.
Brandon. Party.
On the big boat, passing the small boat.
Patiently gazing into the sunset, hoping for that chance to dance with dolphins.
And then they appeared. It was as if they had been waiting all day. The swam next to the boat for about 15 minutes. A very cool experience indeed. Did I dance with one? Negative. Those dolphins play hard to get. So typical.
I shot this with my 24mm wide-angle lens. That's how close they were. Kevin Costner will be so proud.
Here's a few that I liked. There's a little surprise even at the end....
Dude peeps are gonna love it! All my friends were loving you and your stuff!

Saturday mornings festivities began at the San Diego Temple in La Jolla at 9am. Mandy and Brandon planned out the perfect day for photos and we exploited it like no other. They were an absolute dream to work with. Here's a few teasers...and consistent with yesterday's wedding....they are pretty much straight out of the camera with a little contrast boost. Boom.
Mandy - definitely knew how to work it.
Brandon - a camera guru himself and an artisit in radness.
I love the way the above image turned out with the palm trees and the wedding party! I can't wait to see more pictures. Both Mandy and Brandon look great.....
(07.02.09)Once again mike, you did a wonderful job!!! These pictures are going to be amazing!!! jealous of the blue skies!! Would love to see if you got a good shot of the hair for me?? we'll chat later....party on..
