Last weekend I took a trip out to Chicago to see my girlfriend. She's working out there for the next couple of months, so I thought it would be nice to go visit.  This was my first time in Chicago and I must admit I was very impressed. The culture,  architecture and people are unlike any city I've ever been to before.  The overall vibe was great and the food was incredible; if you ever visit Chicago, make sure to swing by Garrett's for some fresh popcorn.  I recommend getting a mix of cheese and carmel.

A few weeks back, I went to the Turquoise Bar with some friends.  The Turquoise is a tapas bar in north Pacific Beach, near the La Jolla Blvd.  It's a great place to hang out; classy, but not too trendy, with almost a dive bar-ish feel. They have a great jazz band come in on the weekends. They are an extremely talented group of people who have a natural ability to play together.

A while back, a friend asked me if I could take some photos of her practicing yoga.  The photos were for her website and we talked about what kind of look she was going for.  She wanted something that really popped, but still had a yogi-ish look and feel; we ultimately decided that the Cove in La Jolla would be an ideal place to set the tone of the images.

A couple weeks back I covered a wedding reception for the Cullen's family.  It was a fun night with a great group of people.  The actual wedding was held in Houston, but the reception was held for the folks who couldn't make it to the ceremony. The reception was beautiful; it was held at Marina Village, which is close to the Hyatt Islandia in Mission Beach.  It overlooked part of the marina at Mission Bay and allowed everyone to enjoy a perfect sunset.
