Engagement Party...

... for Betsy and Aitor.  Beautiful people gathered to well-wish a beautiful couple.

It was fun to photograph... the white ceiling made a great bounce for the 580 EX... but the flash ran low towards the end of the event and took forever to cycle.  I did not know many of the people there but the hosts had a wonderful space and put on a great event.

Again with the Five Guys...

... i can't decide which fast food joint has the most photogenic employees... Five Guys or California Tortilla.

A Class in Movement...

... by the students of the Honors Conservatory at the Theater Lab.  I was not familiar with the space/light beforehand so i of course brought the wrong gear and no tripod.  These were with the 17-55 and 17-85 USM IS lenses... mostly at the 40D's auto ISO setting... usually around 400 to 800 and of course i over saturated the colours .  I was hoping to capture a lot of motion... maybe next time.

Flowers....

... just in case you did not get any for Valentines.

Valentines...

... always allow cake to cool before applying icing.  After i recovered from that error, i played a bit with the nifty 50 lens.

Cal-Tort...

... it looks like she had a headache that even a spunky Cal-Tort employee could not cure!
