tomorrow early am, we are heading back down to the san diego area for rin's brother's graduation from marine boot camp. he will be accepting his globe, anchor and eagle on friday. rin's parents have made the long flight from bagdogra, india. her grandfather and wife have come from the east coast and many more relatives already live in california. a big gathering of family is going to watch as he goes from boot to marine. we are all proud of him and can't wait to see where this journey will lead him.

my friend, jason hunt, has lent me his HOLGA for the trip to san diego and disneyland. hopefully, i will be able to get some good shots. i am hoping to get some ocean / beach / surfing(er) shots as well. it's been a while since i've used a film camera, but that is some of the excitement of it...
