I enjoyed the 4th of July in Arcata. The day started a little mellow but as usual, the music and dance were fabulous. I loved the dancers in these photos. I was sitting on the wet lawn and was able to snap a few close-ups of Lisa's face. It is remarkable how relaxed she looks while in mid-air. Simply beautiful.

These photos were taken in Bakersfield California on the day that same sex marriages became legal. These are not wedding photos; they are a photo essay that focuses on the media, the officiates, supporters, and witnesses.
