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!
The iPhone + the Flashlight app make a rad portable light table! My Mom came across a box of color slides I shot more than 20 years ago. Back when you waited a week to see if what you shot came out or not. I'm surprised how many came out [and how many I took of my first car].
You may remember Noah, Kolton and Landon from a holiday mini-session in November. The detail on these 16 x 24 inch gallery-wrapped canvas prints is nothing short of awesome—even my reflection in Landon's eye is still easily recognizable—and the trio looks amazing against the orange walls of my client's home office [click on any blog image to see a larger version].
Not only do these cookies look good, they taste good! I cannot tell a lie, Christy. I ate one of them as soon as I was done shooting. There's a party going on in my tummy right now.
My daughter and I share the same quirky sense of humor, so I usually have no trouble making her laugh. Today, as we played around with an idea I had for the kids' Christmas thank you cards, she brought the funny all by herself!
What this dog lacks in discipline he makes up for in good looks. I'm still trying to remove all the nose prints on my lens.
My goal here is a simple one: shoot every day. And, I am not self-imposing any other rules.
Though I am looking forward to 2009, I do look back on 2008—and all of its images—and can't help but smile. Here's hoping that this year brings us all more smiles.
