11. Mariachi Quinto Sol

I never thought I would get the chance to photograph a mariachi band.  Listening to them play made me want to go to Peru that much more.  The right music can take you anywhere, even if it's only for a short amount of time.  


Unfortunately this was just a rehearsal so no colorful costumes. 

This is a guitarrón.  It looks like a guitar but with a rounded back and acts as a bass. Very cool.

10. Gotcha!

It's-a-Mario! 

9. it just works

Today was strangely hectic. 

Good weather, a guitar, and sittin' under a tree just kind of go together.  This guy knows what's up.

8. CHEESE

Sometimes you gotta get the cliche stuff out of your system before any real creativity can kick in.  Please bear with me.

This was too good not to share.  For the past couple of days, Microsoft has been holding the Windows Phone Challenge where if your phone can perform a certain task faster than one of their phones, you win a laptop.  My friend Joon (Hi Joon! :3) convinced me to go with her to the challenge. The following picture sequence will tell the rest.

Picking a challenge.

Challenge: Show the judge the latest facebook status update of your best friend/significant other and send them a "hello" text. 

The "Vanna White pose"

Competitors shake hands.

Waiting for the call...

And they're off!

Brett shows Jon, the judge, proof of the first step in the challenge: the facebook status update.

Finished with his task, Brett sets down his phone while Joon still tries to finish.

"How did you do that so fast?!"
