Emma's graduating from South Carroll High School in June 2010. After rescheduling our session twice because of Mother Nature, we took advantage of a beautiful Spring day to get some pictures of Emma on campus. Here are a few of my favs.
This is Joe. Joe is our accountant. I'm glad we've got Joe, and from the looks of his desk, we're not the only ones.
To celebrate my birthday here at the blp blog, I took some of my favorite blog images and turned them into a shape collage. I won't tell you how old I am—I'll keep that my little secret. =)
If you're older than I am, click on the image above to see a larger, vision-corrected version.
The kids could hardly wait to play in the snow this morning, so we bundled up and headed out even as the snow was still falling and being blown around every which way. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or our Labrador Retriever, Atlas. Once the rest of the neighborhood kids wake up, I fully expect a second outing and a Nor'easter: PM Edition.
What do you do when your son spikes a 103 fever? First, you take him to the pediatrician. Then, once the doc says he's negative for strep and the flu and to treat his symptoms, you bring him home, dose the Bubblegum Blast Jr. Tylenol Meltaways, put a cold towel on his head and grab the camera.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME [I'm talking about the lie-in-front-of-an-eight-foot-high-quarter-pipe part]. Between Justin's launches, I almost ate a skateboard. To appreciate just how high Justin is, clicky on the pics.
My son loves to skateboard. And, since I am a better photographer than skateboarder, he rides and I shoot.
This cookie looked so yummy I decided to take a bite before I shot it. It tastes as good as it looks [and my mouth is really not that pointy]. Happy Valentine's Day.
Photographing this perpetual calendar is turning into a perpetual project.
Just for fun, I took all my blog posts from January and created a Wordle with them. Wordle generates a visualization of the source text, and greater prominence is given to words that appear more frequently. I sure am glad "Christy" is nice and big [and just right there I got my own back when it comes time for my next Wordle].
Christy never has to ask me twice to shoot one of her sugary creations—like these karate cupcakes for our nephew's birthday—because there's always a sweet reward when I'm done. So, you can imagine my tummy's disappointment when Christy told me that she had baked the exact number of cupcakes needed for today's party.
Though officially a snow day, by mid-afternoon barely one quarter of the four inches of snow forecasted had fallen [I need to get back into the weather prognosticating business]. That didn't stop the kids from dragging their sleds across the blacktop to the nearest hill in our neighborhood. Sadly, the lack of snow meant the kids only made it a few feet down the hill at a time.
My Dad, driving his new car and acting more like a twenty-something than the sixty-something he is. There are some advantages to a strong family resemblance—I know exactly what I'll look like when I grow up. Zoom-Zoom, Dad.
I've started shooting a personal project and have quickly realized just how out of practice I am at shooting inanimate objects [and how much more fun animate ones are]. This project also marks the start of my transition from Apple's Aperture to Adobe's Lightroom—so far, me likey. Only 39 more images to go.
My daughter was glued to the television today taking copious notes—my son not so much—that she then transformed into this graphical [and historical] timeline. Today certainly called for an extra big exclamation point!
