Erin and I headed up to Twin Peaks, San Francisco (at this exact location) with our good friend Sally Carson. She loves her bikes. Like, a lot. Especially this one. It's pretty rad actually. Here she is rockin out at the top of the hill.

strobist: 3 x SB-900 on a Lastolite TriFlash all @ 1/1 @ 17mm into Big Mama 3' away.

Erin picked up this fancy dress at a nearby block sale for a ridiculously good bargain. Here she is showing it off (and because I asked politely). She looks great, doesn't she? (the answer is yes ;)

This is Janelle.

Team Flash Bullet had a shoot this afternoon with Anthony of Metamorphosis Salon in San Francisco.

It was quite awesome. Here's one of the photos.

Details in the photo are worth checking out.

From the Cam/Lisa batch. This is Cameron on the way to his own wedding... on a boat. No post production. Just a polarizer and a SB900 at full power.

Happiness

man, expression, happiness, nikon, d3, 200mmf20g

I pulled this one out from Cam & Lisa's wedding set. I don't know who it is, but I like this man's expression.

I did, however, catch many other moments just like this during the wedding, but for some reason this one stuck out to me and I thought I'd share it.

Erin and I are delivering their photos to them tonight — our hope is that they'll like what they see :)

Bourbon Sidecar

This is a Bourbon Sidecar, Australian style.

I had to recite the ingredients to the bartender (Bourbon, Cointreau, lemon, syrup, bitters), but he refused to take measurements....

It was awesome.

Now I must continue to enjoy this vacation.
