Adam and his family were so much fun to shoot with, although I did have to work now and then to get the kids attention. The little ones always seemed to find something that would peek their curiosity, their gaze would just drift away while I was taking pictures. It’s understandable though, there are so many crazy things going on down in Balboa Park. From live music to street performers, it’s hard for me to compete with that kind stuff.  I love how children are so interested in the little things, the stuff us bigger kids have forgotten. Whether it is a little red lady bug or a balloon, there is a simple magic in everything they come in contact with. I guess that is one of the reasons I love working with kids, they help me slow down and see how beautiful the world really is. How even the smallest insignificant thing can hold such wonder, a power all it’s own.

I love being able to go out anytime to just be creative, having fun shooting with different people. You don’t have to expect anything from the shoot, if you get an amazing picture then great, if you don’t then you probably learned something new anyways. A few weeks ago I was on my way to Fry’s with Nina when we decided it would be a good day to shoot. She wanted to shoot some stuff for fun before she moved to Mississippi. It looked like a perfect day to shoot, just enough cloud cover to give us some even lighting and the weather was amazing. At least the clouds were there before we had to run down to Mission Valley to get her dress, then to Fry’s for a hard drive and finally back to Lakeside where the clouds had all but disappeared. We had a lot of fun though, even with an overly bright sun. haha Just two people walking in the woods with a camera. sounds pretty inconspicuous if you ask me.

Can I just say I love photography!!! What other job can you have where you spend your days exploring new places, meeting new people, letting your imagination and creativity run wild, while still producing something that will be cherished for years to come? There may be a few jobs like it but probably not many. I got to shoot graduation pictures at SDSU a couple weeks ago with Deanna and her friend. We had a great time walking thru the almost vacant college shooting with anything that caught our eye. It may have been more fun for me, considering I have only been there few times and it was overly crowded. SDSU is really a beautiful school, I had no idea that there was so much within the campus. Makes me wonder what I may be missing at the other San Diego Colleges. I think I may need to take a road trip, throw a backpack, blend in with the students and just wander… I’ve heard great things about Point Loma Nazarene.  How could it not be gorgeous, its over looking some of the prettiest beaches in Southern CA…
