fireworks on the beach.

It's kind of a given that anyone with even the slightest bit of shutterbug lurking within them will have their camera out and at the ready for their local fireworks on the Fourth of July. No one can resist trying to get a unique shot of something so fun and beautiful to photograph…and who can blame them?! Imperial Beach, the town I [still] reside in just south of San Diego, had their first firework show this year. They set off the rockets from the pier and everyone gathered on the beach to watch them light up the sky. I'll admit, it was one of the better shows I've seen in my time. I, liked every other camera-wielding individual out there, took quite a few shots of the show, but this one was my favorite.

This photo is from a batch I took while vacationing with a bunch of my old college friends last year in Florida. One of our friends rented a convertible for the week (best decision ever) and it made me absolutely snap-happy every time we got in the car. This is one of my favorite shots of my friend Don while we were riding around one night.

I couldn't resist posting one more from Dylan and Mylah's wedding. This was as they were waiting outside the reception hall before walking in and being announced.
