“The Best Camera is the One You Have With You”

Who said that? If you know the origin of that quote, please let me know. A few minutes of internet searching could not answer that question. It is a very popular quote. Placed in quotes for an exact search, there are over 55,000 results in a google search.

But I digress. When I was a travel photographer, I had pro gear with me all the time. Now that I’m more domesticated, the one camera I am sure to have at all times is the one on my phone.

The thing is, I get some good photos with it! This one from last week for example.

So, I will periodically use this blog to show some of these photos, in no particular order.

The Photo above was spontaneous. We did not plan on referencing the Christ The Redeemer statue in Brazil.

All three of these photos were taken on Christmas Day, 2009 at Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur California.

Erin and Brian Silhouette wedding photo

This shot was taken on the cliffs of Jenner California, a coastal town north of San Francisco. We were on a cliff above the ocean, the sun was setting, they had just gotten married. What else could you ask for? I love being a wedding photographer.

I love a Silhouette

And just to round things off, here a few other photos from that set.

Below is a video slideshow of some of my favorite shots from Gary and Rose’s wedding. I shot Gary and Rose’s wedding in Yosemite National Park in 2008. (I shoot a lot of Yosemite weddings. I’m an official Yosemite wedding photographer)

Their wedding was at Glacier Point. There were a lot of fires that week, so the visibility was horrible.

As I posted earlier, Rose wore a brilliant red wedding dress.As you can see, they are Native American, and incorporated that heavily into their ceremony. (I love seeing all of the different wedding ceremonies from cultures the world over in my job.)

To make up for the lack of visibility at Glacier Point, we stopped in a lovely meadow. I’ve passed the meadow over 100 times, I was glad to stop there for a change.It’s so pretty.

I hope you enjoy the video sideshow. The song is “Where I’m Standing” by Schuyler Fisk.
