this weekend offered, if no paying gigs, a variety of interesting people to shoot. first my good friends Andrew and Holly were back in town from Berkeley. i shot their wedding in Aptos. we strolled down Pacific Ave for a bit catching up. then Andrew and my two votes for beers out numbered Holly’s solitary vote for hot chocolate so we wound up at 99 Bottles. i’m friends with one of the staff and she hooked Holly up with some hot chocolate she found in the back. so everyone was happy.

Andrew is getting his masters, or PhD or something like that in advanced intelligence or superior genius or something or other. he is fascinating to talk and listen too. he also talks with his hands. despite how it looks he isn’t talking about a big fish that got away.

of course holly is simply amazing. this is her “Thank god school is out for the summer” look. she teaches up in the East Bay. they are both looking to move back down to Santa Cruz sometime in the future. which would be rad.
