i love summer.

Yes, these were both shot last Christmas in Newport California.  Not exactly in summer, but the beaches, palm trees, couples, ocean and sun all remind me of summer.  And how excited I am for it.  I miss this place.  I miss the warm sun.  And as cliche as these images might be, I never ever get tired of shooting them. *blissful sigh

give me the green light

I don't often shoot in urban downtown areas, but I'm always so thrilled when I do.  I'm definitely going to do it much more this summer.  I love all three of the images together as a series, as it is a combination of my favorite things.  Bike rides, using my big lens, public transportation, sunset, John  Legend; doesn't get much better than this.  (I must admit the last image was in fact taken in March.. not just barely.. which is obvious because of the snow. silly me)
