Nessa, it is your birthday.

This weekend was taken over by Nessa's birthday celebration! It was something I was looking forward to ever since I received the Facebook invite because I knew it would be a fun opportunity to bring out the Mark ii.

First things first -- My brother surprised Nessa with a BBQ and show featuring John & DJ Sean Tee!

I had my brother pull everyone together at the end for a group shot. I stood up on a loading dock to get an interesting perspective.

That night, we took the party to Nessa's house where she hosted a black light party. Now that I look back, I should have purchased a UV filter for my lens. The photos would have been less blue. But the challenges of shooting in black light are endless. Next time, I'll be better prepared.

Chris and I made shirts with UV paint at home...

While others used highlighters to mark up each other's shirts.
