Wedding Announcement!

My daughter, Angela, announced just recently that she is getting married! She and her fiancée, Dan, have set July 12th as their big day.

Two weeks ago I took Angie and Dan out to get pictures for their wedding invitations. Here are some of the images that we captured that day:

Smash Mouth

As part of the entertainment for the week, Sun Microsystems brought in Smash Mouth for a mini-concert. Here are some of the images that I captured:

JavaOne Day Three - Ben Galbraith & SFO Pictures

So far I've resisted any urge to pull the camera out during sessions. But yesterday Ben Galbraith, a friend to many of us who are here, was speaking and I couldn't resist grabbing a few pictures of him during his session.

Then later in the evening, I ran down to the Bay Bridge and took some pictures (should have arrived just a few minutes earlier to really take advantage of the sunset light):

Attending JavaOne

While I love photography, the reality is, programming was my first passion. And programming is what I do for a living. Today I am in San Francisco attending the JavaOne Convention.

Still... I couldn't leave the camera home. So here are a couple of images from yesterday:
