A Visit to Seattle, Washington

I visited one of my old hometowns, Seattle, to shoot a wedding in the Cascade Mountains. Well I didn't have nearly as much time in the city as I had hoped, but I did have a little free time to explore the city and check out some of my favorite hangouts! As always, coffee at Caffe Ladro is always a must! How it is so good I'll never know! Also I found a great knitting shop, So Much Yarn, and picked up some supplies for a new capelet I'm knitting! Saw some cool windows and of course the Space Needle. The iconic Space Needle! A new favorite knitting hangout!

Photo du Jour - My Honeymoon Part 1

I actually took my camera on my honeymoon to Cozumel and wanted to post a few images from time to time.  Of course the weather was AMAZING in October and the diving was even better!  I didn't have the time to put together an underwater outfit so I could shoot the actual dives but that worked out perfectly as we were mostly drift-diving and I needed to watch where I was going!  We saw amazing creatures including 2 sea horses, a pipe horse, spotted eagle rays, stingrays and my favorite - sea turtles!  We also saw at least 1 nurse shark on each dive.  

Our dive instructor Victor Brito was incredible - so visit his website if you plan on visiting Cozumel - he's got his own boat and takes you to reefs that the usual dive shops don't usually dive.  Actually getting a hold of Victor is a bit of work - he'd rather be diving than answer the phone.  But be persistent.  That's all I can say.

We stayed at the Wyndham which was right on the water.  We treated ourselves to a beachfront room so we could look out at the sunset every night and hear the sound of the ocean.

Here's a few images of the beach at the hotel.  Ahhhhh..

The pier in front of our hotel in Cozumel.

V. Sattui Winery

I was in Napa Valley a bit ago and shot at the V. Sattui Winery.  Here's some of my favorites from the day!
