I have been thoroughly enjoying the new Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. I’ve been running a game for over a month now and even though I started before the Player’s Handbook was actually out (been running the Starter Set) it’s so nice to actually have the PH. It’s a really fantastic book, with production values that are second-to-none.

For this photo, I used the Fuji X100S’s “Toy Camera” processing mode, which was extra fun.

Today was the Central Coast Cancer Challenge Race. I did the 10K and managed a personal record, coming in at 56:07. It was a great race for a great cause.

And just look at that awesome sea of runners at the start line!

The interesting thing about doing lots of photography is the way you start to notice light a lot more. Like the way the sunlight was coming down and hitting this flyer so perfectly. And the brick wall was such a fun texture as well.

Taken at The Sal Paradise sandwich shop in downtown San Luis Obispo.

Avjean/Parzanese Wedding

wedding

Last fall I photographed a wedding for my friends Lauren and Joe. It was quite exhausting, but a tremendous amount of fun too! It’s hard not to have a complete blast when at a wedding, especially for such great, stylish, fun people as Lauren and Joe :-)

While I made sure to get the photos delivered to them not too long after the wedding, I figured that it might be good to select a few of my favorites to share here as well. It was a wonderful event and I hope you enjoy these highlights!
