I've been off the internet grid for a few days because my computer was on the fritz. I'm ashamed to admit this, but it's such a relief being back. It also reminds me of my social dependence on the internet. We're so used to being networked in all these different ways on the web that more often than not we overlook the tangible, (dare I say it) real connections face-to-face. I am far more likely to shoot off an email than pick up the phone, which probably isn't the healthiest way to go about everything. Lesson learned. Can I have my computer back now? :) Just kidding. Sort of. Regardless, it was a real relief to see friends and family all weekend, therapy to my isolation bubble during the week. This weekend was a veritable eating bonanza, I feel like I need to work off at least a week's worth of food crammed into two days. I ended up photographing Jen and her fiance at the Getty, and even managed to convince my buddy Ricky to hold a few poses of his own.
 
"Nope, I can do better," was his response to the above picture. And then he rocked it out with this:
 
Awesome jumps, Ricky.
