Art Photography: Photo Safari Alameda Naval Base
Yesterday, I spent a little time on the old naval base is Alameda, CA.
I love old abandoned buildings and the like, so this place is a dream come true for me.

Yesterday, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) hosted a talk by science fiction author Cory Doctorow. He gave an inspiring talk about how over enforcement of copyright could kill the freedoms we have on the internet. That might be a slightly glib summary. It is late.
The full audio of the talk is here:

I was the photographer for the event.
I got a nice shout-out from Cory here:

Debbie and Mike got married at the Saint Seraphim Orthodox Church, a Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Rosa. Their wedding reception was at the Fountain Grove Inn, also in Santa Rosa.
A few things stand out for me in this wedding. One, the Greek Orthodox Church was gorgeous (you will see below). Two, the bride’s dress was lavender, or maybe purple. And three, there was a moment during the wedding ceremony when the best man and the maid of honor had to hold crowns above the bride and groom’s heads. This lasted for at least 20 minutes. It looked painful, holding the crowns for so long. There was a receiving line after the ceremony, and every person there joked about it with them.

Julianne and Bret got married at the Mormon Temple in Oakland on a rainy day in February.
Weddings at the LDS temple are private. The guests and the photographer (me) wait for the bride and groom to come out. Mormon temples are gorgeous, so we always get a lot of photos in front of and around the temple.
After shooting at the temple, we went to the Oakhurst Country Club in Clayton, where we looked for spots that were covered from the rain but still had nice backgrounds for photos, before moving on to the photojournalistic shots of the reception.

Nadine and Stephen got married last winter at the amazing Chateau Du Sureau and Erna’s Elderberry House in Oakhurst California. (Oakhurst is 1/2 way between Fresno and Yosemite)
Chateau Du Sureau is exquisitely beautiful, and I’ve been told that Erna’s Elderberry House is one of the few 5 star restaurants in the country.
