ING Half Marathon

well, today was sign up day. it was the last day to do so before the price increase. it is the last day of the new year and with the 1st coming tomorrow it would mean that practice has to start soon. i'm not too sure how i feel about it right now because i have a really hurt knee. the pain is caused by what we call runner's knee. it can get really painful at times, but i hope with better shoes and some good inserts the pain will be greatly reduced.

so now that this journey is about to get started i am excited to get it going with my wife. she has really been the inspiration behind me even trying to do this. after we watched another season of biggest loser and they ran a marathon we thought we should at least try to do 13.1 miles.

well as the journey continues i hope to use this blog to let you know how we are doing. here we go i guess.

Wedding Videography

so i started doing some video stuff a little while ago. today i am able to go to weddings and do my best to capture moments from a wonderful day for the bride and groom. it really is a special day and i love it.

there are so many great videographers out there these days and it makes me want to get better all the time to see other guys do what they do. i wish i was as good sometimes. i hope to get there eventually though.

anyway, here are some pics that i took with the mkII. remember i am not a photographer, i can simply push a shutter button.

Brett + Aynsley

two really good friends got hitched this last week and i got to enjoy the day and take my camera with me. it was awesome. i hope you enjoy it.

halloween @ riverside
