Auryan's 10th Birthday Celebration at Skate Express

Happy birthday Auryan!!! Auryan celebrated her first double digit birthday of 10 at Skate Express. It was a challenge to photograph in such low light without resorting to using the flash. I am always up for the challenge. Here are a few of my favorite shots and the link to the entire album for you to enjoy, Auryan's Birthday Album.

Mountain Biking at Holy Jim Trail

Have you heard of the Holy Jim Trail? I have. Well I was told about this trail by my friend Paul David. Today we decided to try it out and climb the approximately 5 mile ride up to the top. It wasn't easy getting to the trail head. We met at 7 am and drove up the mountain to Modjeska Canyon and went off-road for 5 more miles. It took us 30 minutes to get to the trail head. Finally!!!. At 9am we finally got on our bikes to ride. Boy were we excited. Here are some of the pics for you to enjoy, Click Here.

Triple Crown Series MTB Race - Bonelli Park

Today was my first experience for mountain bike racing. Not to race, but to photograph. I joined my good friend RL and his team, MTN Bike Riders to take photos of the team and watch my first race. Be sure to take a look at their website. Watching some of these "Beginners" race, I realized that I need to be in better shape to participate in competition. Everyone on the team did fantastic! Good job to all of you. Here are a few of my favorite shots. You can also view the entire album, Here.

Pacific Islander Festival 2008 - San Diego

We enjoy traveling south to San Diego to visit the family so we packed the car and drove south this past weekend. There was a Hawaiian Festival with dancing, music and shows themes from many of the Pacific islands, booths with many collectibles for sale, and when there is a festival, there is always food. We arrived at the PIFA celebration just after lunch and boy were we hungry. There was an assortment of flavors to choose from but we were all craving some "Red Rice". So we chose the Chomorro Grill food booth. It happens to be the most popular food at the event with the line extending for hundreds of feet. Here is the entire album for you to enjoy, Click Here.
