Juney, Juney, June...

Dang, June has come and gone, and July is mostly out the door.  Feels like these photos are from so long ago.  Started off the month with an attempt at taking some skate photos again.  Was pretty fun poking the fisheye lens at some friends.  Could definitely use more practice (me, not them).

My family came to visit for over a week.  I made lots of photos hanging with them, but gonna keep those with the family.  Went to some BBQs, the Renaissance Faire, and did some skate trivia.  Fun times.

Derek, switch crooks.

Andrew getting blunted.

The one and only Based John.

Jake Neal did a bunch of these so I could nail the shot.

At the DIY spot with Dorian.

And then a bike ride with Dorian the very next day.

Followed shortly by attending a show with Dorian's band, Nug, playing.  Had me some quality Dorian time.  I've been making a lot of photos of them.  Check their IG for highlights.

Preston rigged up the old swing a wheel onto a truck game on his sweet back patio.

When at the RenFaire, you drink some mead.

And look at some cool raptors.

And throw some axes.

Back at the DIY with Templeton.

Skate Trivia was super fun!  Zack hoarding some prizes from their good finish.

And capped the month off with Sebastian premiering the video for his company, The Space Program.  Rad to watch some great skating and all the love and effort that squad put into the project.

May recap

A few days late... Here are some happenings from May.

Skating with Joey for his birthday.  Pictured here with Jake and Bosco.

Toby was there too.

And of course Garth and Zack.

Joey is good at games.

And I like how the lights made a heart over Joey for his birthday.

Hanging in Joe's yard.

Because Jai was here for a few days!

Of course Greg and I saw each other at the curbs.

Quick visit from Evan.  We miss him tremendously on our Simpsons trivia team.

Art show at One Grand.

Where all these friends were hanging.  Like Victoria and Niles.

And the Harper boys- Preston and Cameron.

Camera wars with Alex.

And Andrew.

Went and saw Loose make some tunes.

Some skateboarding too.  Andrew did a bluntslide and some other fun tricks.

And John did a switch back tail like it was nothing.

 

Aurora Borealis?!

At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen?

I know this event was everywhere on social media the weekend it happened in early May, but enough time has probably passed for me to share these.  It was very cool to see in Oregon from my backyard.  Though it really didn't look this good to the naked eye.  My phone camera did pretty good.  But the long exposure on the DSLR was the good stuff.

April

 Once a month is good, right?  Here are some snaps from April....
