laguna beach

i love photography because it helps me to remember and appreciate what a beautiful world i live in. briana and i decided to take a little walk through laguna beach the other afternoon and these are what i came up with. [and my favorite lollipop!] it was also one of the first times that i really started using my zoom lens. i learned on a standard lens so it was really great to try out a new bigger lens, the only problem is now i have such a hard time switching back to my little one!

the place: laguna beach, ca

pre-blogging photography. peps.

the next several posts are an accumulation of pictures i took before my blogging days. they span from football games, ski trips and spring break in the british virgin islands to weekends in palm desert, my brother's prom, and all of the other random things i do with my life.
