best sunset of the year

...was about two weeks ago.  as you can see, the sky was ridiculous.  i didn't take too many photos since i wasted all my taking-photos-during-sunset energy the night before when it was, as i know now, but didn't at the time, the 2nd best sunset of the year.  it was a great one to enjoy without the camera though, so i have no regrets.

i finally finished going through lily & ryan's engagement photos.  the entire set is posted here on my website and below are a few of my favorites from the last batch.  they are so cute!!

favorite sunrise of the year

a few months ago i woke up to this ridiculously low, beautiful fog covering the bay.  i probably took photos for 45 minutes before getting ready for work...  i just couldn't stop.  as the sun got higher it changed the color of the sky and the fog and made for some pretty great photos.  even the bay bridge was poking out from the clouds!

here are a couple photos of gigi. the first is last night's sunset and the second i think is from this past weekend at some point. we've been having some really nice weather. happy september!

i can't believe this event exists...

every year here in san francisco (apparently every year...  i've only been here for the last 2),  there is a race called bay to breakers which starts at the bay and ends at the beach (beach = waves - aka 'breakers').  i guess there's an actual race where people really run and register and wear a number and everything, but somehow this race turned into a huge 12K party down the streets of san francisco where everyone wears a costume and most people drink and dance and do pretty much anything imaginable.

here are a few photos i took of our day...
