It has been a busy month! Here is one from Julia & Andrew's session that is now up on the blog. It was hard to pick just one, but I love the pavilion and the light was just awesome this day. Check out the full session here: blog.christopherfphotography.com/2014/06/julia-andrew-eng...
Better large, where you can unfortunately see that the focus isn't all it should be but you can get a better look at the bee fly.
This little honeybee mimic appears to be rudely shaking his booty at me, but actually I think he's just touched down on the flower.

Preview from a great photoshoot this afternoon....presenting Chris and Bethany: a Yellowknife couple, newly engaged. This set was smoking!
Most Americans (and people in general) remember Pearl Harbor as the first shots fired by or at US ships, planes and people in World War II.
But the conflict had been ragging in Europe and the Atlantic since 1939 (as those who live there are keenly aware of), but few remember or are aware of the US involvement during this “pre-Pearl Harbor attack” period.
In an effort to help relieve the UK of some of the stress of escorting vital supply convoys to the UK, the US established the “Lend-Lease Program” in which we “lent” the UK 50 old US WWI destroyers, they badly needed for escort duties and they provided “leased” basing rights to the US on UK controlled islands in the Atlantic.
The US would then use these “Leased bases” to provide a “neutral escort” to these said convoys to near the mid-Atlantic, where UK and other allied ships would then take over escort duties.
While technically not at war with Germany, we were definitely putting our forces between them and their target convoys.
The Germany did not want to bring the US into the war as an active ally of the UK (fearing a repeat of WWI), so they tried to avoid conflict with US ships and planes but doing this in a combat zone is usually impossible to maintain and so combat did happen.
The first US ship sunk was the SS Robin Moor, a cargo ship stopped and sunk on May 21, 1941 on its way to South Africa.
The USCGC Modoc on May 24 1941 became entangled in the hunt for the Germany battleship Bismarck, while helping rescuing sailors from ships sunk from a nearby convoy. The Modoc radioed the Bismarck’s location after it had escape into the fog after its battle with the HMS Hood several days before. It was nearly fired upon by the Bismarck and also UK ships and planes during the hunt for the Bismarck.
Several US aircrews, who had been involved in ferrying US built PBY Catalina patrol planes to the UK, also flew as “instructor pilots” as the new UK crews were transiting to these new aircraft. US Ensign Lenard Smith was the pilot when his plane (now flying UK markings) found the Bismarck again on May 26 1941, before it was finally sunk the following day.
On September 4th 1941, the destroyer USS Greer became the first US ship to fire upon a German submarine, although still technically a neutral power. The US claim the German submarine had fired a torpedo at it first. Which may technically be correct, but a UK patrol plane had dropped depth changes on it minutes before and the German submarine may have believed it was attacked first.
And finally on Oct 17` 1941, some 51 days before Pearl Harbor, the USS Kearny sustained the first US military casualties of the war, when she was torpedoed by U-568 off the coast of Iceland. 11 sailors were killed and another 22 wounded (out of a ships crew of only 276 men)
This is a picture of the Kearny tied up along side a fellow US destroyer shortly after the attack. The hole from the torpedo can be clearly seen amidship at the waterline. By this point the US and the Germans were engaged in an undeclared “shooting war” although formal recognition of that war was still nearly two months away.
So, while the coming attack on Pearl Harbor was indeed a surprise, our coming entry into WWII was not. Each of these episodes was widely reported at the time, although some specifics remained unpublished until after the war.
On a personal note, I’ve nearly finished archiving my flickr stream and have trimmed it back by about 20% so far. I expect to trim further, as most of my postings have not been actively engaged with for several years by this point. Exactly how I will proceed is still TBD, but it will be somewhat different for sure.
My best to all of you, as we move forward in this still totally crazy and upside-down world.
PS I do plan to get out and about for a Holiday Party in the coming days. Whether it will create any input for here is TBD, but I at least will be doing ”my thing” yet again.
Be well, Hugs Becky

my dear friend Aaron... and his then fiance Christy... who is now also a dear friend.
They married this last weekend! Gorgeous couple! So lucky to photograph the wedding and these were some we did for the invites...will put up final when i get a sec...
i miss flicking!!
I got to photograph the proposal and some portraits of some new friends the other day. 58mm coming in clutch.
I attended a picnic at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona, which was sponsored by the Fred Astaire dance studios in Mesa and Chandler. But being a shutterbug, I decided to go to the park about 90 minutes early in order to get in a little photography. Among the pictures I took was this one of an engaged couple who were being photographed by a friend of theirs. The friend was equipped with a Kodak point-and-shoot. The first few pictures I took were all candid, but then I introduced myself to the trio, and they told me I could take all the pictures I wanted. (This one was not candid, although the couple was posing for their friend rather than for me.)
I learned that the couple is scheduled to be married on August 10 in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple. I said I had figured they were Mormons, and we talked about how easily members of our church manage to spot our co-religionists; it's a sort of sixth sense that we all seem to have. I can't explain it, although I know viewers of this photo who happen to be Mormon will understand exactly what I mean.
These two managed to get engaged a couple of months before our huge family trip to Maui. We managed to fit in snorkeling at Molokini, sunrise at Haleakala, time on Waiʻānapanapa beach, dinner at Mama's Fish House, a sunset captain's dinner cruise with Trilogy Sailing, zip lining, great meals, time on the beach, all of the Road to Hana, and squeezed in this sunset engagement shoot. They get married this summer and I cannot wait!
I loved walking around Pioneer Square with this couple. We turned out some fun shots for their engagement session.
Sierra and Kyle are so good looking it kills me - when I met Sierra I told her I wanted to photograph her. This summer when Kyle mentioned they were planning their wedding in Hawaii in November I made sure to put it in his head that I wanted to shoot their wedding. He was on board - and luckily so was Sierra. Today we played in the perfect weather out in the Gorge, and in November we’ll all be on the Big Island together for the Big Day. I. Cannot. Wait. She is beautiful, he’s a fox, they’re so much fun and so adventurous and we are going to have a blast as they make it all official.

It was a beautiful summer evening for a shoot and these two were a blast to shoot with! I have been busy with weddings and other sessions so I have been lacking on my flickr posting and looking at other's pics, sorry about that! Busy time of the year.
