San Francisco Trip


About a month ago I expierenced what every person who works with photos dreads, one of my hard drives crashed. Or at least so I thought. Actually what happened was I didn't take very good care of it and the casing was shot, but the hard drive was ok. So several weeks and 30$ later with my hard drive installed in a new case I'm back up and running. Up until this point I knew backing up my files was important but the feeling of thinking all these photographs were lost was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. I'm thinking now I might invest in a Drobo or buying some server space that backs up in several locations. Does anyone have something like that they're happy with?

Anyway, in celebration of getting these files back, here are a few shots from a trip to San Francisco in March.

Air Force Graduation

Last wednesday I got the chance to photograph my first United States Air Force Academy graduation. With the lead up of a week of graduation activities I was excited for the day, although after a week of rain I was nervous with my assigment of being on the roof of the press box, photographing graduation and the air show from that vantage point. Bright and early on May 27th at 5:30am I looked out my window greeted by a cloudless sky. It couldn't have been a more perfet day weather wise and I made some images I really liked, let me know what you think.
