Brandon was totally oblivious that I had even taken his picture.
I just had to post this a little size than I normally do. I wish this better conveyed the wowness of this area of Yosemite National Park.
I'm in San Francisco this week for an IT Project Management seminar. For the first couple of days I was fortunate enough to spend a few days site seeing and having fun. This is Lombard Street, the crookedest street in San Francisco. I drove down it and several other crazy steep streets here. Pretty fun. You can't really get the scope of this street from my shot.
It's not as sharp as I was hoping, but the light was horrible and I didn't have a tripod (excuses, excuses, I know).
One of the little girls in our party at the Olive Garden decided to dance with our waiter.
I don't normally like these with the partial color and partial black and white, but today I break my own rules because I feel like it.
Happy Thanksgiving
More from Chicago downtown
These guys were really good. I was blown away.
We have emerged from a seemingly long, cold and wet winter. I pulled my camera out today for the first time in what seems like months. It felt good to hold it and hear the sound of the shutter. I hope they never get rid of that sound from cameras, there's something about it that seems to be an intricate part of photography. Anyways, when you add to this yucky cold winter the fact that I've been working hard at getting my MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification it adds up to no time for shooting. I hope to change this here after I finish my last test which is scheduled in the next couple of weeks. Thanks to you all who continue to visit despite my lack of posting!
It was really surprising to find this cool architecture as I was walking thru Central Park.
Stepping into Central Park from the noise and hustle and bustle of New York was quite a dramatic change. No more noise of the city, no more hurrying. It was just quiet and peaceful.
Watch this one Dad...ok, watch this one...ok, here's a good one...
So, I got to visit New York city this past week. Wow, it's a very different place from where I live. I'll expound more later, but for now, I'll just say Wow! Out of the noise and apparent chaos we found ourselves in Central Park. It's a huge and amazingly quiet and peaceful place in the middle of New York, Manhattan to be specific. The anxiety and craziness of the city seemed to fade away behind us, and I was glad! :)
Play-Doh is hours of creative fun for my kids. It's fun for me just to sit there and watch their little minds spin as they decide what to make and what shapes to form. Good stuff...
I shot this while wondering around the countryside near Las Vegas. The sun was setting behind the rocks which made the backsides light up. The countryside was way more interesting than Las Vegas itself! Man I'd like to get out and do some shooting! :)
One plastic cup, some water, some soap and a straw = babysitter for 6 kids for 1 hour.
I bought a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta last week. It's great to have a new car (except when the payment comes around). Our old car was costing me too much money.
