What a fitting tribute to 500 posts. I love to create and capture memories and these two happen to be the inspiration for many of my shots. There are many times they will be with me when I am out shooting and start taking …Continue Reading Here…
I am taking a break from my churches series to wish all the fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day. I am sure to take a lot of flack for not starting this sooner and missing Mother’s Day. However, I decided today shall be a good day to start this. After wishing everyone out there a Happy Father’s Day, I would like to wish my own, a happy and exciting day. One of the proudest day’s in my life was the day I became a father, and I have been blessed to have had two of those days.
I have posted a few photos taken by my wife over the past couple of months. However, I noticed that I had not posted any photos of my lovely wife. I shot this with my AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D. I really like that lens. I have been very pleased with the results that I have …Continue Reading Here…
I must say that I really love the new 50mm lens. There is nothing like spending time with kids and trying to capture what they are thinking with a camera. There has been some recent discussion in the photography realm about the future …Continue Reading Here…
I could not hold off posting this one much longer. This is another shot with my new 50mm lens. I have had so much fun with the new lens. My daughter has a habit of putting her headphones on and tuning out the world, or giving me that …Continue Reading Here…
I have now had the AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8D for a week. Frustratingly, I have only had the opportunity to test it out one day. What a fabulous portrait lens. I took photos of several people and was pleased to find this to be a very …Continue Reading Here…
I don’t know about many other kids, but mine do not slow down for anything. Especially when I have the camera. I had been trying to get a quick shot of the kids while riding, which was lots of fun, but only got this one shot of …Continue Reading Here…
I have to say, Chrome is a photographers second best friend, or at least somewhere near the top. I have found one of the best places to find chrome has to be at the car show. Everywhere I looked at this one, there was …Continue Reading Here…
I have been in a very cold mood lately. Not as in my attitude, but as in “I can’t wait for winter”. However, I have to confess, the weather was not too bad here. I can only have Irene to thank for our lower than usual temperature and nice cool breeze. On the other hand, my heart goes out to all those who have been affected by this massive storm.
I love to go fishing and I don’t get to do it as much as I want to. However, I must say that I hate to take the fish off the hook. I don’t know where this fear comes from, but it is there none the less. I guess that has to go along with my fear of heights, but I love to rock climb…go figure. I took my daughters for the first time several weeks ago and they were successful little fishers. Enough so that I had to take a few photos of the event. This is one of my wife and daughter sitting patiently. Of course, I think the shutter speed was cranked up to around 1/2000th of a second because I know they were not still that long.
Just after this photo, the little one actually caught a good size large mouth bass.

I decided late last night (Friday) that I would take the family on a museum trip. Today was the perfect adventure day to top off a very adventurous week. So, after being so busy this week, I will just leave you with the Daily Photo. Oh, by the way, of course I will be posting the photos soon.
As most of you know, I have two daughters. I posted the portrait of one yesterday and I think their grandparents would cause me great trouble if I did not post the other.
So, today’s photo shall be of the other. I got them both to pose in a similar fashion, which worked out wonderfully. I got the added self portrait with this one too. I love reflections.
To see this one big, click on the photo, which opens it in Flickr. Then, at the top right, you can select other sizes. Once that page opens, you can see it in full size.
I posted two photos of The Girls. While you are at it, check out last Sunday’s Daily Photo.
