08.09.08... a beautiful day.

... i was not the photographer at mandy and quinn's wedding, but i brought my little sony point and shoot camera to capture a few moments. these were two of my favorites...

we dance on grasses...

... there is going to be a wedding saturday in la conner... my lovely lady friend mandolin is the bride... we celebrated this evening, just the two of us, with a couple of feather boas and my pretty nikon... the following are my two favorite images because i can see her happiness so purely... thank you mandolin for letting me be a part of this beautiful journey, and for allowing me to stick my big camera in your pretty face...

somewhere... there was a beginning to all of this...

... i was born just outside of this small town, in a bed, in a room, in a house at the bottom of a gravel road named after my family.


this blog is my story of why i love this place, and all of its memories...
