California, I love you.

You know, I love California. It's come to be home. We've made good friends here, have family here, started our own family here, and you just can't beat the weather. This weekend my wife set up a great little outing. Perfect for me at least. I got to shoot something new, hang out at the beach, and see some good friends. Great day! Anyway, who would have thought that there would be a crazy big storm bringing epic waves on the same day as the Venice Surf-A-Thon. I had a great time, and met some fun folks. The funny thing is that a good friend of mine was a judge and I totally missed seeing him! That's what I get for keeping the eyes through the camera!

Anyway, enjoy some of the pics below!  Thanks again to my incredibly awesome wife, who made my birthday celebration so awesome! That girl is AMAZING!
