Playing around over the Thanksgiving break.  This was an idea that we had for a Christmas card.  We like the image just fine and it was great fun making the picture but somehow it just didn't seem like Christmas card material.  This and other pictures from November are available here.

Man, I really thought the first time, that would be it. I mean I posed, everyone laughed. That wide angle shot really didn't cast me in the best light.

If you came a little closer, I'd chew that lens up so fast you wouldn't know what hit you, just like all those toys the kids keep leaving out. I hear you try to tell them not to leave them out or I'll get them. If you are anything like them, we'll be doing this picture thing for a long time. So yeah, I'm about as perked up as I'm gonna be now that I realize that.

Let me think about that for a minute.

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, no!

Practicing with some strobes out in the garage with Shiloh is always fun.  She makes the most wonderful expressions.  It is nearly impossible to get a shot where she isn't moving but if you ask the right question you can get her to pause and think about it for a moment, a very brief moment.

More film please

We are back from our trip out to Napa.  I stopped off at Wolf Camera to pick up a couple of rolls that I had developed and was greeted with some really nice 5x5 pictures of my kids.  I had forgotten how much fun it is to pick up a set of pictures and negatives.  I am really enjoying shooting with this old school TLR.  Batteries, we don't need any stinkin' batteries.  This camera doesn't have any light meter or well, anything as far as electronics go.  It is a light tight box with a lens and shutter, that's it.  Good times.
November pictures are here.
