Last weekend I had the weekend off, due to a couple of big personal events. First, my girlfriend Kara graduated from the University of Florida's grad school program, with a Masters in Speech Pathology. I'm super-proud of her because of the devotion, commitment and smarts it took to finish this program the way she did. Way to go, girl! You rock!

Then on Sunday I raced a sprint triathlon at my parents' hometown of Englewood on the Gulf Coast. I won my age group and had a great time racing. Great win for Team Godspeed to open the season!

Here are some sample photos from Kara's graduation, including a group shot of her fellow Speech Path grads, and a portrait session that we set up here at my studio.
