San Francisco Valentine’s Day | Wicked

On Valentine’s Day I took Christine to San Francisco to see the play Wicked. It was an amazing play and we also had some great seats too!!! We also got to meet some of the actors after the play. The weather was prefect too for the middle of the winter in San Francisco, which made walking around all that much better. I brought my new camera with us to take some pictures around the city. Gotta love the San Francisco!!!!

Mammoth Mountain Ski Trip

Last week I was down in Mammoth at my aunt’s condo for the first time this year. After finally getting caught up on all my work I was able to go down there for a full week, which was much needed!! I couldn’t have picked a better week to go to Mammoth from some skiing. My first day there I was skiing 2 ft of powder and it got better as the week went on. I ended up having 3 powder days out of the 5 days that I was there. Good times :-) Here are some photos that I took with my point and shoot camera.

Hasselblad & Holga Film Photos

This past summer I took my Hasselblad camera out of my closet to take some night exposures on our camping trip to Lake Tahoe. I’ve had my Hasselblad since I went Brooks and used a lot while going to school for projects. I’m finally making myself use it, some more which has been fun. A week ago I finally sent the film out to the lab to get it developed and just got them back. I also had some Holga rolls developed too from this past summer and fall.

The wedding didn’t start until the late afternoon so we pretty much photographed the whole wedding at night. Which was a first and ended up being super cool. Enjoy the photos!!!!
