Officially my first wedding... I've learned that my shots have a bit of a gritty look to them. I prefer to not use flash when possible.

To be used in the tea ceremony at the bride's house.

Tie tying by the brother/groomsmen.

Prepping to go bride's house.

Update: stories and Kenya

A quick update... sorry no pictures yet.

I have two stories right now.

One that is finished and waiting to be published. (Elvis) I have to go into the paper tomorrow and finish the odds and ends of it. Then it'll publish, I'll wait 3 days (cuz they have exclusive rights for the first 3 days... then its shared) and then post it on the website.

The other is detailing the journey of Kipchirchir Bitok. From filing for a student Visa to going to Kenya. I need to find a home for it first...

Kenya. It is still pending whether we will be leaving the month that we anticipated or pushing it back a few months... Kip is part of the Kalenjin tribe and it is one of the tribes under attacked right now.

San Diego part 1

First adventures... the San Diego Zoo and the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

She was soo adorable!

Banging on it's chest... in front of a sea of people behind the glass.

And yet again another happy hippo!

I think my new favorite animal is the Koala bear.

When I was in HS they made us make a list of things we wanted to do during our lifetime. This was #33- "Visit San Diego zoo and take pictures of the panda bears!" #1 was to go to Alaska and take pictures. :)

Yeah, never take pictures of stuffed animals... I couldn't resist the grass was up to my calf... I'll find a real dog to throw in there!

Jo in warm San Diego sun.

Random portrait at the observatory.

Waiting in line to see the telescope... we eventually gave up!

Pretty artificial light.
