Playing catch up!.. Just returned from a quick trip to Disneyland. This is a pic taken in Baker, CA just after sunset! Really like the glow of the horizon.

Finn McMissile is a pretty cool toy! Transforms from a car into an amphibious vehicle..

Even when you are all done with school, there is still studying to be done!... This is my wife spending some time this afternoon studying for her Internal Medicine boards. Have to be renewed every 10 years, can't believe it's been 10 years already!

Forgot my camera at work this evening.. which led me to use my iPhone for today's image... Then I tried out the new space filters in Picnic to see what I could come up with.. It works, I like it...

Reece got a Lego boat today.... and built it all by himself! This is a first! He was so excited and not sure if he could do it, but he did and he was so excited... So this is his creation.

Spent a few minutes watching the kids ride their bikes tonight! and of course had camera in hand... This was a favorite! I liked the tone in B&W...
07-20-2011
Managed to get J out of the bath and get most of her hair combed... I'm sure she'll just love this photo in 20 years, but oh well I liked the light on her face, wish I could have coaxed a bit of a smile, but sometimes you just roll with what you've got!

Fun art with Crayons made for today's addition to this project! Played around with the DOF and PP a bit..

Trying to capture summer is fun, so many ways to capture the fun times! This is a stitched soccer(or football for those anywhere other than the USA) that has become a pool toy!... When it's submerged and all the air is allowed to escape it fills with water and then when squeezed it sends water in all directions, kind of like a sprinkler.. Reece's hands are almost strong enough to get the sprinkler effect going.. He'll keep practicing and probably get it by the end of summer!

Ok, this isn't a Picture a Day of Reece.... but this was just too cute to pass up. Some kids fall asleep with a teddy bear and some kids fall asleep with their favorite baseball!
Who remembers running through the house with reckless abandon? I sure do and my kids have fun making those memories! Luckily I sort of captured this moment.. This is slightly cropped from the original and sharpened a touch and there was very little chance of catching her face in focus at 1.8! but I liked the joy anyways...

This is a fun daily photo for me... a week ago, this guy was in our office and noticed that I was taking some photos of another patient, so I mentioned that next week it's your turn... to which he responded:"I don't have my picture taken", so I didn't even think anything of it. So today he shows up for his appointment and says: "Is today the day I get my picture taken?" To which I replied: "Of course!" So this was spur of the moment and I think it turned out well.... and he was excited to have his picture taken...

Lettuce, went to my mom's house for dinner tonight and found these leaves of lettuce fresh out of the salad spinner! I liked the color and the textures...
07-27-2011
I decided to go check on the grapes tonight and look what I found...Their small, but I also haven't done a thing for them other than cut them back in the winter and water them...
07-28-2011
Crazy day today... with no time for photography, this is all I came up with at the last minute... at least they are colorful!
07-29-2011
Went for a walk in the mountains today and found these little guys.... Need to look up what they are sometime, kind of neat how they droop a little bit as they get older... Kind of like real life!
07-30-2011
Had an unusual day of rain...So I was wishing for a macro lens to capture the water drops on the leaves.... didn't have one so this will have to do. Where did July go?

Dangling feet in the pool! Caught J getting wet..... Hard to believe it's August!
08-01-2011
Decided to try some more photos of the grapes on the vine... I liked the DOF and feel of this image....
08-02-2011
Been a few days since i've taken a picture of a toy, so here's one to make up for that... It's a Lego K9 unit...

R has been learning about money lately and was asking if I had a $1000 bill. Which sadly, I don't. A few days ago I was talking to a patient that about old bills and collectable bills and he mentioned that he had a $1000 bill. So he offered to bring some of his collection so that I could take some pictures. He was also so nice to bring R 2 half dollar coins to have from 1945 and 1950 that are collectable today! So here's an image of his collection. I'm amazed at the detail on these bills... today's money is like play money in both look and well value!

This storm brought 2 inches of rain in about 45 min midday today... This is how it appeared rolling in... Taken with the iPhone as there wasn't time to run get my camera... It was pouring shortly after this was taken.
08-07-2011
Don't see this where we live...Field corn... The kids thought it was pretty cool

Fun family photo! The front two boys are my Nephews and the two boys in the back are my cousin's kids.. They are all the same age and have a ball when we get together...
08-09-2011
Had a great day at Sliver Beach in St. Joseph, MI. This is a fun water park that the kids had a ball running around in. Fun to see the sail boats out and about as well!
08-10-2011
Portrait at dusk.... R and Mom.... Really hard to believe this came out this well with almost no light... Sun was already down...
08-11-2011
Caught he moon rising over the trees!.... added a touch of PP and came up with a decent image.. One image I've taken of the moon that's half way decent. I've throw way more pictures of the moon than anything else I think.....
08-12-2011
I've been coming to this Lake in Southwestern Michigan since I was 4 years old and the view really hasn't changed much... a few trees are gone, but it's pretty much the same. It's fun coming back with my own kids sharing the same memories that I had as a child. This is sunset looking to the east after a day of storms...
08-13-2011
Flew home today.. back at tomorrow. Way to tired for anything photographic... Found a pile of M&M's on the counter... Ok I put them there... but found this ring of light surrounding them and thought looked interesting... yeah, it's just interesting.... ok it's a dud, and I'm ok with that.. ;)
08-14-2011
I don't remember Lego sets this cool when I was growing up.. Full on Police cruiser with hatches to hold criminals!
Fun to catch R playing with it too!...
08-15-2011
Some days you just need to smile.... This little guy makes me smile, hope it gives you a chuckle too!
08-16-2011
Cool clouds in the sky today!... and since I forgot my camera at work, the iPhone was all I had.... Ran it through a filter in Instagram for something different.
08-17-2011
End my work week with a couple of kiwis in sepia... purposely captured the image a stop down, for the low key light effect... It kind of worked...pretty hard to get the fuzzy details of the skin without a macro lens...
08-18-2011
J got a haircut today... She wasn't happy about having her haircut.... but she survived.
08-19-2011
Carefree on a swing! R has figured out that its much more fun to be pushed on the swing than to try and propel it by himself!... I always seem to get stuck behind him making him go.... but this time I had my camera ready when he looked back at me!
08-20-2011
Orange glow from the bounce house! J and R had fun at a friends birthday party this evening! I liked the glow on her face from the bright orange sides of the house!
08-21-2011
This is a portrait of one of our patients that just got a new smile! I'm still amazed at what new teeth can do to a smile and I do this for a living! Even though she wasn't thrilled with having her picture taken, she was a lot of fun to work with.
08-22-2011
Ok, so I made it 234 photos without a self portrait, so I figured it was about time... plus I wanted to test a couple of new plugins... So hello!

I'm not exactly sure what the heart of palm looks like, but this is the center of a palm in my yard! I liked the textures and dof...

Slots at the airport!... 08-25-2011

Both my kids are fascinated with flashlights.. In fact I think all kids are in some way. Or else nighttime and Disneyland or the state fair wouldn't be nearly as fun!... I caught J playing with this one mid day today. I think it's cute.
