After last month's trip to AU (some photos in June's 10 on 10), I've had a pretty chill month in Portland. No crazy trips or wild parties. In between shooting a few weddings (wedding season is starting to ramp up quickly here in OR), it's been kinda nice to relax and have some time to catch up on life. So for this month's 10 on 10, I'm taking you through a typical Zerizef summer day in Portland. Dog parks, BBQs, and backyard fires, oh my! Did I mention the incredible weather that we've had lately?

Portland seriously has the best summers EVER. It's the whole reason we stay here. ...okay maybe not the whole reason, but it's definitely towards the top of the list. Next month I'll give you all something more specific to Portland. Hope you all had as nice of a June/early July as we did.

Now scroll back up and visit the rest of the 10 on 10ers so you can see summer all over the country.

Until next time...

10 on 10 - July 2013

It's that time!! Our 10 on 10 project is officially beginning. Since this is the first official 10 on 10, I'll do a recap for those of you who are sitting in your office chair a bit perplexed. 10 on 10 is a collaborative project from six photographers around the country. Basically this is our opportunity to show our clients, friends, family, future clients, etc. a window into our own lives each month. We post so many pictures of other people's events and momentous occasions, that it's easy to for get about ourselves.

On the 10th of every month I will post 10 photos from one day of my life that I've taken within the past 30 days. The best part is that five other photographers are also participating from around the country. I've posted their links below and I encourage you all to check them out because they are fantastic!

For this month's 10 on 10 I chose to take photos of an afternoon when we had some friends over at our house. The summer weather is finally here and we are soaking up as much as we can! It started as an afternoon of games and brews but morphed into a late night. One of those great nights that aren't planned but just happen. Aren't those really the best kind of nights?

P-Shoes anyone?

How about some Hammerschlagen?

One of Nabil's friends, Will (aka DJ TrickAssedMarxist) brought his equipment and morphed our gathering into a party.

It was about 75 degrees when the sun went down, but since we don't really have any light installed out back yet, we started a fire anyway.

Friends, games, music, good weather, good food, and brew. What more could you ask for? Did anyone else have a great summer night recently?

Now as promised, below are all the links to the other photogs participating in the 10 on 10 project from around the country. Make sure to check out their 10 on 10 and to check back next month for 10 on 10 - August.:)
