A Night at the Harbor

Night shoots are "like a box of chocolates."

I honestly never know what I am going to get.

So, obviously to get better at taking night photographs, I need to practice.

The other night I got to do just that with my friend and future media/film/photography colleague/guru, Fil. We headed to the SB harbor to see what might be worth shooting. Below are some of the images that came out of this little adventure.

Also, I thought I would give Fil a little prestige by plugging a hilarious video he made for coffee/latte enthusiasts. Check it!

The Full Life: YL Camp 2011

We all want to live an adventurous life. A life that is worth telling - a FULL life.

What many of us sadly do not realize is how adventurous and FULL our lives would be if we just said "yes" to Jesus. And two weeks ago, I said "yes."

I spent 6 days with over 300 young men and women with different special needs in a beautiful wooded-land known as Lost Canyon. My mighty team (Santa Barbara Young Life Capernaum) consisted of 6 friends and 5 leaders (me included).

We zip lined, "Mega -swinged", swam, water slide(d)?, danced, gamed, gazed, listened, and talked. It was a week FULL of opportunity for an exciting life. But, more than all of these activities, we were able to dive into relationship with each other and Jesus.

I walked away from camp blessed and humbled. It was a great reminder that Jesus does make our lives adventurous. We only need to say "yes."

So, thank you. Thank you for those who prayed. Thank you for those who supported and continue to support me and my friends in Young Life. And thank you Jesus for being constant, present, and powerful.

Enjoy the photogs. I am happy to share stories! Just ask.

Much love.
