What a great and busy week it’s been. One of the highlights of my week was attending the much anticipate launch of the Wish Upon a Wedding Charity. The group will match bride and groom couples, one of whom is terminally ill with vendor vendors for a small yet meaningful wedding of their dreams. While there I got to meet in real life fellow photographer Lisa Whalen, who I only knew as a Facebook friend. Here she and I are in a fun photo strip as taken by The Laugh Box. (The actual strip looks better than this scan, however, it does have interesting textual quality to it as a scan).
Inspired by the photo booth strip from above, I made a collage of Villa Montalvo shots I took with a Canon Elph so as to just take a few photos and leave the official photography to that night’s photographers, Alisha and Brook Todd. So here is the location as lit up by Got Light, music and music by Ken Constable.
Observant readers of my blog may recall that I’ve blogged before about my friend, Michael Denning, and his work with Art of Chaos. This Friday his group again did a show at First Street Billiards, this time for relief for Haiti. While I had brought my Leica to the first show, I decided to go low key on this one and took the point and shoot for this event as well. The group raised over $3,000 in one night.
Here’s Michael explaining his Zentangle, a piece of art made up of many symbols, that took him many hours to create.
He and the other artists featured live painting of their work in progress. I really enjoyed seeing the colorful displays and how into their paintings they all were. Here are in order, Lindsay Bryant, Michael Fowler and J.D.
On Saturday I was in Palo Alto and was treated to seeing volunteers planting trees part of a city beautification project. It was great to see people of all ages work together on this great cause as shown in these photos taken with my iPhone.
