My sister Elizabeth and her boyfriend Anthony came down to SR for a wedding this weekend. We went wine tasting in the Dry Creek valley area on Sunday. The leaves were turning a beautiful shade of red.
But the best part by far was our visit to one of my favorite wineries, Preston where one of their many cats was sleeping on a chair on top of a pile of eggs!
This weekend my friend Rigel and I went out to Spring Hill Farms’ Peter Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma (say that 5 times fast!) with Rigel’s 1 year old daughter Akasha. Akasha loved the pumpkins and Rigel and I loved the homemade Pumpkin ice cream. We took the opportunity to take some pictures. I haven’t seen his yet, but here are mine!
This weekend was filled with friends old and new. I had a great time on Saturday night at the Section M reunion show at Daredevils & Queens, I took a lot of pictures, and made progress on my self-assigned task of getting less shy about taking pictures of people I don’t know. At the Section M Show a billion+1 people asked if anyone had taken my picture yet, I obliged several times and was surprised at the outcome.
On Sunday I spent most of the day at a memorial/wake for Dave Young, it was a sad day, but it was filled with friends, and I think it was as good as it could have been. I didn’t take any pictures at the wake, so these are all from Saturday’s event. Check out the rest of the set here.
The benefit show for Free Mind Media was fantastic and I had a great time hanging out with so many awesome people. There were about a million bands and artists and we raised over 2 months of expenses for Free Mind in one night. I was honestly overwhelmed at the support and can’t wait for the next event Terrence and the folks at Tonegazer put on. I took a whole bunch of photos. I was mostly experimenting with my portrait lens and shooting without a flash, so some of them came out sharper than others. The lighting inside Daredevils & Queens was fantastic though (they are seriously the coolest hair salon ever) and I ended up liking the effect.
My oldest sister got married down near Bishop 2 weeks ago. It was a great wedding and also served as a family reunion for both sides of the wedding party. I took a million photos, all of which are up on flickr.
