Yup, it's another week in my photographic life, and this past week
definitely lived up to expectations! Plus, it's really heating up here
in the city of Angeles, so it finally feels like summer! Great times
indeed!!!
The week started off with a special invitation to the one and only Magic Castle in Hollywood. I've been living here my entire life and have never been able to go due to its members only status, but thanks to our friend Rumi, we were able to get an invite into the mecca of all things magic! As you might expect, there's no photography allowed once you enter, but we were able to get at least one shot of Helen and me right before we went into the magic bookshelf entrance (you even have to say "open sesame!" out loud for it to open! How cool is that?!)

We're here! Oh, and the gentleman behind us, Robin, was our host/magician.
Thanks Robin!
Helen, me, Rumi, Mimi and the Magic Castle.
What more can a guy want?
Thanks Robin!

Needless to say, if you ever get a chance to visit the castle, GO. Every famous magician you've ever heard of and haven't heard of have been through this place. Oh, and one interesting tid-bit is that Neil Patrick Harris, is currently president of the board! Yup! Look it up!
Thursday, my bestie buddy Bevo, was in town, and she wanted to go rock climbing. So we did.

Rock climbing sure is dangerous! Outdoors!
Yup, that's about 5 stories off the ground. Okay, maybe not 5 stories. How about 10 feet?
Be one with the wall Bevo. Be one with the wall.
She eventually made it all the way up to the top.
While I climbed, Bev was in charge of my life. Yikes.
Thank goodness for belaying equipment.
All in a day's work.
Thanks for the invite Bevo! Next time, I'll belay you!
What I love most about being a photographer is the chance to document a family's life, a couple's wedding, an important day, and on Friday, I was able to do just that with our friends Jean and Bryant. (Jean is aunt to Amelia, who has appeared here many times). Jean had asked me photograph her wedding reception at King Hua restaurant in Alhambra. I love Chinese weddings!!! Ten course meals, plenty of festivities, and of course, hanging out with a great couple and family. Thank you Jean and Bryant for letting me be there to photograph. Congrats to you both!
