This past Sunday, I met up with Shelley and Dan at a very special place. They both worked at Six Flags Magic Mountain about 17 years ago and this was the first time they’ve been back since. It was so cool to hear them reminisce about their experiences at the park. They still have some park connections, so we were able to get in through the employee entrace, which was a treat in itself. We had a blast at the park and these two were just cracking me up the whole time. They are just so much fun together. You may have seen Dan’s work on TV before. He is also known as the Rocketman. Check out Dan’s site and his listing on Wikipedia. Quite the celebrity! :) They will be married this coming July in Pasadena. Highlights:
I felt like I was shooting for Sports Illustrated on this one. That’s them in the front row.
Dan found some boxes that had his writing on them from way back when. He was excited :)
My dearest nephew ~
Such magnificent photos! What a great talent you have become and we are all so very proud…!
I’m looking forward to viewing more of your work!
Such creativity! Your shots capture the emotions of your subjects so well, it feels like we’re actually there!
Congratulations…!

(Had some contact with you before when doing genealogy research and was randomly surfing the web today for that.) May the Lord grant you and Shelley much happiness in the years to come!
