Top 10 Blog posts of 2008

12.29.2008

I think my favorite thing about blogging is the fact that I now have an archive of my life. It's so fun for me to just go through past posts and relive my experiences. Since May of 2005, my life is pretty well documented and available to the public. Although I didn't blog every day in 2008 like I did in 2007, I still had almost 500 posts between this blog and the [ b ] School blog and posted over 1,000 images. At the end of each year, between Christmas and New Years, I really like to rest, relax and reflect on the past year, as well as organize, plan and set some goals for the coming year. This post is about the past year and some of my highlights of 2008, stay tuned for my 2009 agenda early next week.

There are my top ten favorite blog posts of the past year, in order of when they happened:

On April 9th, my sister April gave birth to my niece, Miss Addison Jane.

Later that month I spend hours and hours pouring through my external hard drives to pick my 20 all time favorite wedding images. It's wasn't just about picking my favorites, but going through to see how far I have progressed and keep progressing each year. This "photography thing" is a journey for me and I am loving the ride.

Caden turned 3 in June and we had a blast in the bouncy house... not to mention quite a workout!

Also in June, I visited the Mothership in Cupertino. So cool.

A few days later I shot one of my favorite weddings ever in a Redwood grove near Carmel.

In July, I was back at the WSOP and ran into the one and only Poker Brat, Mr. Phil Hellmuth Jr.

Who could forget the night the light went out and we played Poker after Dark by candle light.

In August, I made a few stops on my friend DJ's tour. I went to Denver, NYC, Boston and Washington DC. It was a blast. Life on a bus takes some getting used to, but it was great hanging with some cool people and meeting some new friends.

After almost 2 years of planning, The [ b ] School launched in October. We are still working on a couple little bugs, but overall the vibe is great and we are so stoked on what we are building. 2009 is really going to rock!

And most recently, I celebrated Ten years of the [ b ] logo. It's been a crazy ride and I am looking forward to 10 more wonderful years.

Thanks again for stopping by and taking an interest in my life. I look forward to blogging every day in 2009 so make sure you stop by first thing every morning to check in.
