So, for those of you who I work with, please do not read any further; for I have skipped out on work today to participate in some scientific research within the Piedras Blancas Marine Protected Area (and, please, don’t mind the tecates we brought aboard; this is some real research going on folks):

Anyway, today was awesome. Instead of working, our day consisted of steaming for about 2.5 hours up the coast and doing some good old hook and line survey techniques within the Piedras Blancas Marine Protected Area. In total we brought aboard 208 fish, which were tagged, measured and documented, before being released back out into the ocean. Pretty successful, but Lulu mentioned that there have been days were 400+ fish were brought aboard. Whoa! But I gotta say, the highlight of my day was collecting the 5 bucks from Aaron and Travis after I reeled in the monster of the day. Aw yeah…..

Keith Dunlop

Through a wife of a friend, I met Keith Dunlop, a local wedding photographer (www.kdiphoto.com) on the central coast. Keith happened to be looking for a second shooter to assist him in some upcoming weddings after having more than one bad experience in the past. I decided to meet up for a cocktail with Keith so that we could share our photographic resumes, if you will. After a couple gin and tonics, it was decided that we would meet up at a later date and shoot Keith’s headshots for his website. I guess you could call it Phase II of the interview. So tonight we ended up meeting for a quick informal photo shoot here in San Luis Obispo. Keith admitted that it was definitely a different feeling being the subject, rather than the shooter; however, Keith took it all in stride and posted up for a couple quick clicks from my Canon (even though he’s a Nikon guy). After it was all said and done, it seems that I passed; Keith and I will be shooting a wedding this afternoon in Paso Robles.

Cayucos Beach House

07.05.08 Posted in Uncategorized


4th of July was spent celebrating our country’s independence and Greg Cherry’s birthday (which was the following day). Neither one overshadowed the other for this weekend. The added bonus was that Greg’s friend friend Mike gave him the green light to celebrate the entire weekend at his empty beach house in Cayucos. So , we gladly soaked up the views, grilled some meat (and veggi burgers), and even was able to slide into a couple little wind swell waves. If only we could come up with the 3,000 for the month, I think we all would have gladly stayed. Happy B-Day, Greg. Thanks for having us.
