Collide Youth Ministries

Pastor Rob Cox asked if I would come and shoot his Wednesday night youth service.  Being a former youth pastor and knowing some of the teens in his group it was easy to say yes.  Collide Youth Ministries definitely "ROCKS" and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Strike Team

Strike Team!

I was assigned to a strike team for structure protection at the Sesnon Fire in L.A. on Monday afternoon.  After a long drive we arrived early Tuesday morning in Thousand Oaks.  We were given the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch section of the fire for structure protection...My camera battery was dying, so I only have a few pics...

Now it's back to editing the photo shoot from Sunday with some beautiful models and a lot of talented photogs...

Los Angeles

Just got back from Los Angeles for Pictage Partner Conference or PartnerCon as it is known...
