It was once rumored that Kevin Costner was able to Dance with Wolves.  Ever since that day I have been jealous.  Since there aren't any wolves here in Huntington Beach, I decided my next best bet would be dolphins.

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.

Capri_05.jpgShoes 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.

Even Samurai warriors like to be nautical.  Ladies, he is single and his room smells of rich mahogany.

Capri_21.jpgHW and the Sebra.  Gems in human form.

Capri_28.jpgI believe this was Diversity.

Capri_36.jpgOh Sarah....just loungin' on the starboard bow.

Capri_40.jpgB Parker.  Party.

Capri_56.jpgBrandon.  Party.

Capri_65.jpgPatiently gazing into the sunset, hoping for that chance to dance with dolphins.

Capri_72.jpgAnd 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.

Popping out of the water for a little face time.  Super rad to be that close.

Capri_75.jpgI shot this with my 24mm wide-angle lens.  That's how close they were.  Kevin Costner will be so proud.

I dig the new blog look. I also love catching glimpses of my tomodachi. Glad you're keeping him company. Say 'konnichiwa' to him for me, k? Oh, and nice shots.

When I was originally hired to fly up to Utah to photograph the Tooele High School 10-year reunion I was ecstatic.  I had high expectations of an awesome photobooth experience at a high school reunion.  I was not disappointed.  Tooele High brought the rain....literally.

Here's a few that I liked.  There's a little surprise even at the end....



So maybe I got a little bored at one point and had a few snapped of myself....what do you think??  HAHAHA

First of all, I must say these.are.awesome! I absolutely love the editing. They have a 'the image is found' feel to them and the image is found is one of my favorite photog blogs.
Second of all, I had no idea how fantastic your photography was. Your images are incredible. I give you two enthusiastic thumbs up! :)
