Eight of us headed out to Red River Gorge this past weekend for some camping. We survived torrential rains, climbed massive objects, hiked many trails, jumped off of various things, locked eyes with venomous snakes, spelunked hidden caves, cooked over fires, played Euchre, and wore ourselves out thoroughly.
Good times.
Here are a few shots from a community fireworks event in our area. Lots of kids. Lots of fun.
Blurry photos are okay too.
My long-time friend Vickie’s son, Landon.
Cousin Laura with my sister-in-law’s baby, Lincoln.
Our friends Nathan and Erin’s boy, Levi. Good Lord this little kid is cute.
My father-in-law, Ted…smoking a schtogie.
Ted and Tracy’s daughter, my lovely bride…my baby mama, Allison.
The camera club dweebs.
Josh.
Andrea, my sister-in-law, got a new camera for her birthday. Cool beans.
Kelly —-> Check out her photos on Capture Cincinnati too.
And some long exposures…
Here’s an unedited video test using my Nikon D90 with a Lensbaby lens a friend gave to me. Interesting.
Our good friend was married this past weekend. It was a great wedding. Personally, I was excited about this wedding because many of my friends were going to be there and I had absolutely no important jobs to do. It was so nice to not OFFICIATE anything or be the OFFICIAL photographer.
[nearly all of these images were shot with my favorite lens, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4]
I was with my gorgeous bride, Allison.
Our housemates, Ryan and Carrie were there.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
I was going to shave…really, I was. I’ve been running late to a lot of things lately.
My beautiful sister-in-law, Andrea.
Andrea’s husband, Chris.
Sisters from the same mister.
Allison’s cousin, Laura. She looks so great I actually debated photoshopping out the beer bottle.
Our next-door neighbor buddy, Mike.
Our next-door neighbor buddy, Lindsay.
James with my brother-in-law, Chris. James is our cousin Laura’s husband. I’m going to beat his face in soon. We’re buying some boxing gloves and we intend to pound on each other…well…me more than him. James was a soldier in Iraq and I can’t wait for the bragging rights once I’ve smashed his face thoroughly. Watch your back James. Watch it. Man, I am going to hit you so hard.
The Bride and Groom:
Sarah and Brett. Sarah is 6 feet tall and I think she might be the shortest person in her family. Her dress was custom-made by a friend of hers in the wedding party. She looked stunning.
Sarah’s brother is 7 feet tall. Yes, I’m serious. He made me nervous just being in my proximity.
The above bridesmaid fainted during the wedding ceremony and hit the ground with an impressive thud. Later in the evening, the DJ didn’t show up to the reception as he had double-booked and didn’t realize it until that night. Other than those couple of snafus, a blast was had by all.
[the above 2 images were shot with my Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye lens]
Aww…look at Allison’s pregnant belly! Only 7 more weeks to go. Will it be Scarlett or Finley??
