"The sun sets over Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch, Colo. on May 25, 2008."
I know, I know, a photo of a sunset is so cliche but I just loved the color and it was all done in camera so I couldn't resist.
I had two tickets to the Rockies game today and took along a friend, Liz, to enjoy the great day and game. Not only are the Rockies struggling winning games but they are also struggling to keep their players healthy. Seven out of the eight usual starters didn't play today but yet they won. Baseball is a funny game and it just works out like that some times. Regardless we had a good time sitting in the centerfield sun enjoying a great day at the park.
After I dropped Liz off at her place I headed up to Louisville to meet Andrea and deliver my take from yesterday's wedding. I hung around to play with her two year-old son since I haven't seen him since last June. It's amazing to see the little personalities that kids develop in their first few years. I got to see another one of those little emerging personalities at my brother's soccer game when I saw Miya, my brother's best friend's little one. She's almost three and full of adorable attitude.
Jonathan, my brother, and Tommy, his best friend, are training and playing with their (former) club team over the summer before they head back to school for their senior season. They have some pretty good competition as their playing in a minor league against some teams from across the country. The boys played really well and they each delivered an assist during the game helping their team to a 4-0 win over the Des Moines Menace. Next week they play the Colorado Rapids U-23 team which should be a much better game. The club may hire me to shoot the game so I'm looking forward to shooting some images of my brother and the guys he has grown up playing with.
At this point I don't really feel like going into great detail about the amazing wedding that I shot yesterday because I have explained the story to at least 10 people by now. However I'll leave you some details and you can paint the rest of the picture. The ceremony was at the grooms house in Cherry Hills. The house and property were enormous but let's put it this way...their pool house was larger than my parents house. The actual ceremony was held in the backyard (which some might consider a park) in front of their own personal pond with water fountain that might as well qualify as the sixth great lake. There were over 300 guests and not a single one of them were unattractive. I swear that the pre-requisite for the girls at the party was a barbie doll look-a-like and a skin tight dress. The reception was in a huge white tent on their tennis court...if you can imagine a tennis court that big. The band, Jakarta, was AMAZING and by far the best wedding band I have ever heard PERIOD. Last but not least I have never seen so much alcohol consumed in my life. These people knew how to party and I found it hard to consider what I was doing was work because it seemed like I was at the party and just happened to be taking pictures. If that is was a wedding is supposed to be like everyone would be dying to get married immediately. Best of all the families and guests were amazing and treated us like friends and definitely not the help.
