Nick the Grad

My nephew Nick graduated from Stone Bridge HS on June 12th. Like most HSs in NoVA graduation was held in the green and gold clad arena at George Mason. They had congratulatory speeches, reflective speeches and keynote speeches. And afterward there was cake.

Hot Leather

This past saturday I had the pleasure of shooting some pics for a motorcycle ride supporting Jill's House a short term care facility for special needs kids that my church (McLean Bible) is finishing up construction on. It's a remarkable facility designed to provide daytime and overnight programs for children with special needs and respite to the family regardless of religion, race or financial situation. It's an incredible picture of the church meeting the needs of the community all in the name of Jesus.

The ride - it was hot (90+) and there was a lot of leather. And denim. And black. The route covered 90 miles in northern VA commencing at our Prince William campus in Manassas and concluding at the site of Jill's House in McLean VA.

The Other LA

I was in New Orleans, LA recently. I realized you can't abbreviate Louisiana (LA) without confusing people as to which LA you were in. Great place for unique architecture and culture. Decent food - if you like everything fried. Excellent live music - and you don't have to wait until 10pm for the band to come on. Incredibly humid. Here are some photos from the french quarter.
