My Amazing Night in Boston

August 19th, 2008

I am here in Boston on business and ever since I heard I am coming to Boston I wanted to get tickets to go to Fenway and watch the game. Just for the historic aspect of it and the fact that I probably won’t be back in Boston for a while and why not check out a game when I didn’t have to pay for any of the trip.

I was looking everywhere for tickets leading up to Tuesday but didn’t pull the trigger becuase the weather was getting bad and it had rained the past two days and didn’t feel like paying the going price for tickets and have it rained out and not be able to get my money back or attend the make up game since I leave today.

So as some of you read in my opening day post I managed to get some great shots to work on my HDR technique and slowly get more into photography. It’s one of those passions I have but don’t normally have the time to do so any chance I get I take full advantage of it. Here are some shots that I took that night. You will notice I have the original version followed by the HDR version that has been tone mapped.

Even though the baseball season has already started there is nothing like a home opener. It has such a different feel to it, almost like the playoffs in so many ways. I really wanted to go to opening day as I have for the past 5 years but I wasn’t able to get tickets till my business partner called me and said he was given a couple of great seats by our Budweiser Rep. I jumped on the chance and I was off to opening day.

So while reading some information about new cars coming out I stumbled upon these pictures of the new Mercedes Benz F700 Concept car. Personally I’m more of a BMW guy so the styling of Mercedes doesn’t sit too high with me. When I look at this car it looks to be a cross between their R class and the Maybach. I completly love the interior and the way it it but that is where it ends for me. If i seriously saw one of these on the road I would do a double take but not in a good way. Seriously I will have to pass. Read the rest of this entry »

So just like any other year I am participating in my fair share of fantasy sports. Right now I have just begun my fantasy baseball season and I guess im off to a bit of a shaky start. At the moment I am 3 different leagues two of them being money leagues. I guess I will give you a little background on the leagues since they are all so different. Read the rest of this entry »

The Proposal

April 3rd, 2008

The big question on everyones mind is how did I propose. Let me preface this a little bit before we get into it. Keeping anything from Kimi is almost impossible. She should have been a detective with the way she can figure things out and read you (honestly can be a bit scary how right she is at times). Read the rest of this entry »

April 1st. We all know it as April Fools day, but as of April 1st 2008 it will be known as so much more to me. On this day I proposed to the girl of my dreams. This day really showed both of us how our relationship has come full circle. Read the rest of this entry »
