New Mexico Verde
Sunday, August 27th, 02006We've been getting record rainfall in New Mexico (8.74 inches for the year in Albuquerque) and things are damn green as a result. I haven't been taking a lot of photos, but I should be.
My usual walk into the Sandia foothills near our house is unbelievable with lush green ground cover and wild flowers:
It results in flowers for the dining room table:
A photo of the green hills in Magdalenda, New Mexico, taken last weekend:
You can get an idea of what those hills normally look like here and here.
Here's a photo of the Rio Grande from the Whiterock overlook, near Los Alamos, New Mexico taken yesterday:
Evidently it looked like this last year and like this in 1999.
It’s a lot of burger, but I’m a lot of man

Wedding Photos
Monday, August 7th, 02006All of the wedding photos have been posted here. The actual wedding starts on around page 10.
How were we able to do this? Well... we did our own photography. It's maybe not up to the standards of a multi-thousand dollar pro, but I think they turned our quite well, considering how frequently the groom had to dart out of a grouping to adjust the camera's settings. Even better than the large savings is the fact that we own all the high resolution (3504×2336) digital files, so we can make all the prints we want for pennies at Costco.
That said, if you want a large print, it's best to request it from me (with cash of course) so I can have it made from the highest quality source files, instead of with the somewhat lesser quality files that are posted here.
Enjoy.
