Alviso Adobe Community Park - Pleasanton, CA (9/11/2017)

On September 11th, 2017, I did a photo shoot at Alviso Adobe Community Park in Pleasanton, CA. This historical park has the oldest house in the town of Pleasanton. The photos were shot during a thunderstorm so the lighting might seem a bit weird. Sadly, I didn't end up catching any lightning in the photos. As to why I went out in the middle of a thunderstorm, I really loved the look of the cloud cover! Yes, photographers can be a bit crazy sometimes. :) That is how you get the best shots.

I ran under here to get cover from the rain. When a thunderstorm comes down, it comes down fast. I waited out the worst part under here. Luckily the heaviest parts of a thunderstorm also goes by fast.

August Cellphone Photos

If you follow me here a lot, you probably noticed I've became pretty quiet on this blog and my social media pages. That is because I have been extremely busy this past couple months with travel, photography, videos, and most of the time, with some other things I've also been working on. I haven't had much time to write blog posts or interact on my social media pages. With that said, I finally found some time to do some blogging and posting. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

In this blog post, I will be showing you cellphone photos from my travels in August.

Once I have the DSLR photos, drone photos, drone videos from my trips posted, I'll link the blog posts here. As you probably guessed, processing them also got pushed back from how busy I have been.
