Another Tahoe Trip (3.25.05)
I went up to Tahoe and stayed on the North Shore with a bunch of friends. We boarded, ate, and gambled. Good times for all, except for the sick. Photo credit goes to Henry for many of the pics. He just went nuts using my new flash.

Karen & Willy Practice Engagement Photo Outting (3.5.05)
Since I wanted to work on my portrait-y photo skills, I offered my camera and a couple of hours of my time to take photos of my friends Karen & Willy. We visited many places throughout San Francisco and the weather was perfectly cooperative. Overall, a fun day, but I realize that portrait photographers don't have it easy. Out of the 250-some-odd photos that I took, I've chosen a photo or two of each place we visited.

Good Old Fashioned Napa Fun (3.5.05)
My friends and I decided to run the Kiwanis 5k Fun Run up in Napa, so we headed up a day early for some wine tasting.

Testing...1,2,3 (2.27.05)
So I decided to tag along to my friend Karen's hair & make up trial for her upcoming wedding. Of course, I shot nearly 200 photos during the 3 hours we were there, but due to the bride-to-be not wanting the future groom to have a sneak preview, I can't post the final "isn't she lovely?" photo. The makeup artist did a great job and indeed, she will be a lovely bride.

Xiao Lung Bao, Bowling, and Archery (1.15.05)
This year for my birthday, I organized an outting to eat Xiao Lung Bao, go bowling, and shoot arrows. It was definitely a fun and delicious time.
