Marin/Reyes | Orange County Portrait Photographer

My good friends, Lizza and Rene wanted to do a mini portrait session of their family to get their Christmas cards ready for the holiday season. This was a last minute session where they basically called me up when we got a quick 30 minute break from all the rain over the weekend. We arrived at a near by park, photographed the session and finished just as the rain started up again. (more…)

Yosemite Valley

Posted by mboardman on Nov 14, 2011 in Personal, Vacation, Visual Exposure | 0 comments

What a fantastic (and much needed) mini vacation to Yosemite! I admit that it has been several years since I visited Yosemite. I probably did not appreciate the sights and breathe in the clean crisp air as much as I should have, but being a child during my last visit, I never really understood the beauty of Yosemite.

Vaughn Family Portrait Session

It was a gorgeous day to photograph the Vaughn family for their annual holiday photo session. After the recent rain, we were all nervous about what the weather would bring. Luckily, the sun decided to shine upon us. We found a nearby park which played the perfect backdrop for our shoot. We could not have asked for a better day and a perfect weather. (more…)

Tasty new Canon EOS-1D X

More details have emerged from sites around the globe as Canon releases the new Canon EOS-1D X. DPReview and Engadget provide similar information. I can’t wait until DPReview gets their hands on the camera, they always do a great job on camera reviews!

Since this bad boy isn’t scheduled for release until March of 2012, I am left to drool over the technical specs of the camera and the images of the camera itself. I am anxiously awaiting a chance to get my hands on the EOS-1D X!!

2011 Long Beach Marathon – Mileage may vary

Posted by mboardman on Oct 11, 2011 in Personal | 0 comments

On Sunday Oct. 9th 2011, I accomplished something that I never thought I would ever accomplish; I ran my first half marathon!!

On my previous post Running Scared, I mentioned that I had signed up to run in the Long Beach Half Marathon and with 81 days to spare to adopt a training program and to eat better as the race approached in hopes of being a lean, mean, half-marathon-running machine. In actuality, none of what I had planned even came close to what happened.

San Diego Comic-Con 2011

Posted by mboardman on Jul 24, 2011 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

The annual Comic-Con (or Comic Convention) quickly engulfs San Diego like a tsunami of Sci-Fi nerds, comic book geeks, wannabe superheroes (or villains) and hardcore Twilight fans. This year was no exception to the madness that is Comic-Con.

After a little hiccup with our lodging arrangements we were extremely lucky to have resolved the issues and have the following view every morning while at the Con. We could have not asked for a better view and it was within walking distance to the Convention Center. SWEET!! (more…)
