It’s so great to be back in sunny California! Our trip was looong, but wonderful. Helen and I always try to plan as much stuff as possible whenever we visit home or anywhere else. We got so much of our wedding planning done and I can’t wait to share the details, but you’ll have to stay tuned for that!
Here are some random photos from our trip. The first one below was all shot on our iPhone’s. Helen gets extra photos of herself, since it was her birthday on October 20th. We celebrated in Houston of course.
And I later found out in Houston, that my parents have new children.. their chickens! We’ve been replaced!
Ah, the endless search for the best BBQ in Houston continues. We tried out Rudy’s and it was so great! Yup that’s right, fill up your stomach and car. They had a gas station there too. How convenient!
This is typical me now. Photographed at Quincy Market in Boston.
It never surprises me now, when I come home and see my brother fixing a car.
And while he’s fixing cars, I’m photographing his tools for my own art!
Typical New England fall!
My friend Tom who is a season ticket holder for the Celtics invited me to the home opener. Go Celtics!

Usually on the last days of our trip, Helen and I will make the long drive to Carmel, NY to visit her grandmother. She’s been gone now for 6 years and we miss her very much. Visiting her, is always such an emotional day for both of us still. These are the stairs that lead to her final resting spot.
And these are the final resting spots for many loved ones, including Helen’s grandmother.

I’M BACK FROM CONNECTICUT!
BACK TO THE EAST COAST I GO!
There’s nothing I enjoy more than heading back to my home town, seeing some familiar faces and eating at the same spots i’ve eaten at for years growing up. This trip back home in a few weeks will be nothing different, but I sure hope it’s not going to be cold. You all know how much I hate the cold now. That’s the spoiled, 80 degree everyday, sunny California guy talking, don’t mind him.
I’m actually heading back East to photograph 2 engagement session with 2 special couples. 1 of them will be in my home town of Connecticut and the other 1 will be in my 2nd home town of Boston. Connecticut has certainly changed since I moved away as well as Boston, so I’m looking forward to it!
Here’s my schedule for those interested in meeting up for a little get together. I’m planning a lunch or dinner for my Connecticut and Boston peeps. Leave a comment below if you’re interested in meeting up. And yes, we’re going back home to do some wedding planning too. I hope we get something done this time around.

I know blog posts are boring without pictures. So here’s a photo of something I’ve been trying to finish off in the last few weeks. Thanks to my lovely clients Michael and Stacey for providing me with the fuel for my hyperness!
