New Year's Eve..

yes. it's late. I'm sorry...


This is a cute baby. :) She smiles a lot so she's even cuter.


this is a face of dismay...because he's losing a game...


involving sticks! throw the sticks, depending on how many are overturned, flat, etc... you move along a gameboard. kind of like snakes and ladders but with sticks instead of dice.


that's my dad's amazing stacking throw...they somehow all come straight down and land on top of each other.


victory? dismay? unbelief?


this is definitely disbelief.


she's a handful


mmmm....they've gotten quicker with avoiding the camera.

2. Again, another shot from Julie's Chris/Steph shot last year

It's not cheating. seriously. :)

We all love to nail the exposure right on...but sometimes it slips by. And CS3 saves.
Where would we get our "look" without post processing?

I found a super macro tube in my dad's camera cabinet... and threw a 50mm on it, threw a quarter on the floor, and here's the best result I got.

I've never seen a quarter so close...

Time and time again I prove to myself that there is such a thing as way too much coffee. The last time I remember doing this was when I had a quadruple-shot venti drink at Starbuck's at around 10pm...and sat at my desk jittering and bouncy past 3:30AM wondering what I had done to do this to myself.

Last night in hopes of prolonging some alertness I had two very large cups of strong coffee...and I can feel my body still wired and jittery, and it's 9:08AM the morning after. Oh boy. Not going to be needing coffee for a while.

By the way. It's raining here in San Diego. Makes me feel good.

finals, papers and stuff.
