Music Man

Sage busted out an impromptu jam session with the music act playing in the coffee shop. I think he would have jammed with them all night.

Rainy Window

Through the car's passenger window on a rainy day. I like how you can't tell what anything is in the background. Mainly because the blue blob on the left is a trash can (woops, spilled the beans).

Luvvy Kisses

Just a great shot of Quinn loving her Momma!

Picture of Pictures

These are dried roses on our dresser with a picture frame sitting behind. The little one in yellow is Amanda in her dance costume and then there's "big" me with Papau (my grandfather) at our wedding rehearsal dinner.

Silver Bullet

Was playing with my shutter speeds and caught this car going by.

National Anthem...

The National Anthem was playing before the Colts/Jets game and Peityn ran over to stand in front of the TV with her hand over her heart. Too funny not to post.

Waiting to Be Worn

Almost forgot to take a photo today. Wound up finding Sage's shoes sitting on the floor and thought it would make an interesting close-up.

Catching Lightbulbs

Caught another sunset. This was taken near the Coffee N' Cream location in Allen. Thought it was cool how the sun came through the lights, while the structure is vignetted.

Little Precious

Her eyes hooked me (scraggly hair and all). Had a hard time choosing just one photo for today. Took some cool shots of Sage & Quinn playing on the hill next to Peityn's dance studio in the evening sun. My flickr page has the other shots if you'd like a look.

I C U

Thought this was pretty cool. I was waiting to pick Peityn up from school, so I decided to play with the camera. Caught little Quinn doing her finger suckin'. Probably one of the few times I'll actually be in a photo on this blog.

North Star Leader Badge

She has to be on "blue" (best behavior) for the nine week period to earn it. Proud of the kiddo.

Flippin' Sweet

Sage, doing what he does best - be a ball full of energy.

This is Not What It Looks Like

Is he cleaning up crayons that he dumped in the dog crate, or is she giving him a key to escape the crate his "evil parents" put him in for being a bad boy?

Toy Explosion

We were doing some after Christmas toy purging, so we told the kids to take all thier toys out of their room and put them in the playroom to be sorted. This is what happened.

Up to No Good?

Really like the colors in this one.

Little Dancer

OK, just have to say, I LOVE the new lens. Awesome to be able to get shots like this without being all in your subject's face. I think it's cool how you see the motion in her leg and the black/white gives it a classic feel.

Snoozin'

Who wants to play with a ball when there's sleeping to be done?

Setting Sun From a Moving Car

I took this pic from the car while I was driving. (They say don't TEXT and drive, nothing about shooting photos while driving) Anyhow, I like the distinct contrasts between the light and the dark with the sun as the focus. Just looking at it, you aren't quite sure exactly what is going on. Mystery is fun.

Hot Chocolate Treat

The kids got a hot chocolate treat last night, and I thought it would be cool to share with the rest of the world.

010 : 01.10.2010


Hooray for New Equipment!

Got a new zoom lens for the camera and was playing around with it. Looks like it will definitely be worth the $. Especially now that we can, "make the background fuzzy with the subject focused," as my wife said. In all seriousness, it will be cool to play with the f-stops to make some great pics by manipulating the depth of field.

Dinosaur ROAR!

Sage was having a blast playing with his new "bucket full o' dinosaurs" he got for Christmas. (Yes, we did have a Christmas on January 9th.)

008 : 01.08.2010


Electrified Cutie

This little one was rolling around being crazy on the couch. The couch decided it wanted revenge and gave her a bit of an electrical charge...

Story Time

As you can see, some are interested and some are not...

I Clean My Room

So after his nap today, he decided to take ALL of the clothes out of his drawer and spread them about his room. This is him picking everything up and putting it back in it's place.

Library Haul

Gotta love library trips. Where else can you get multiple doses of Wild Wild West Elmo & Barney for free?

Sing Us a Song, You're the Piano Man

Sage rockin' his new keyboard from Santa.
Thought it would look good in a sepia tone.

The Java Stop

The coffee shop in downtown McKinney where Amanda works on the weekends. Pulled a little bit of architecture in with the Grand Hotel looming behind.

001 : 01.01.2010

New year, new blog project. The aim is to post one photograph per day for the entire year of 2010. There is no specific subject matter, just whatever happens in our daily lives. It could be anywhere in the range of awe inspiring to the utterly mundane. Thanks for visiting.


Happy New Year Eggs in a Mug
