I love these little rascals! Nothing more really needs to be said. It’s Halloween and they had a great time – I love how the older ones were showing the ropes to spider-man, showing him how to maximize his trick or treating. Hope you all had a great night as well!
I can’t wait to take my boys camping and since it’s not quite summer, I thought I would take a trial run! Set up the tent in the living room and my little one hopped in was so excited! Grabbed Larry the Cucumber and watched a little Daniel Tiger. Now we are watching the Red… Read More
Today we celebrated my sister’s graduation last week (again, SO proud of her). But, during the party, I look over to see my son butt naked splashing around the fountain! My older daughter encouraging him on as he would climb up to the side and jump in. Nope, the acorn doesn’t fall far from the… Read More
I missed yesterday, so today has two posts. As mentioned previously, I’m working towards learning my flash. Before jumping to a ‘studio 3 point setup’, I want to master the on camera flash first prior to off camera flash. I’m learning about bouncing the flash so that on camera flash has the same quality light… Read More
Today was such a beautiful day! James and I headed to the park where there are tons of small turtles and ducks. There were several small baby ducks and we had a blast just watching them. They used to have koi fish and when my older kids were younger a few years ago, they found… Read More
Had a lovely evening with the wife and little one! Here they are, cruising up the escalator and enjoying the views around them. How I long for the days when I could wear my baseball jammies out in public! 🙂 Shot with Canon 5D3, 50mm f/1.2L @ f/1.2, ISO 100, 1/160″
Mommy and Li’l Jammers footprints side by side. We had a wonderful day playing beach volleyball with the family, walking along the beach, playing football, petting doggies, and eating a lot of food! As we were walking along the beach, my wife noticed our little one’s footprints and walked along side. It reminds of the… Read More
What a wonderful Southern California evening! We went to a birthday party for a cousin and what a great evening and great location for the festivities. The house has so many little private nooks and crannies and two of my kids happened to find one of them! They had a lot of fun up in… Read More
We took off the little seat that was attached to this scooter and this was his maiden voyage. We had a ton of fun cruising up the block. Shot with Canon 5D3, 50mm f/1.2L, f/5.6, 1/160″, ISO 800
I had to quickly produce a head shot today of myself and so I solicited the help of my assistant, James. It was such a blast with him. In order to capture an image of myself, I set the timer to 10″, would press the shutter, run to my seat and take the photo. Between… Read More
What a great day! It’s still hard to believe we were predicted to have a strong El Nino this year. Granted, winter isn’t over…yet. Today? Mid 70s or so, and the boys had soccer camp. As James said “I want to play with my friends!” and play they did. At the end, who doesn’t need… Read More
I love bath time with this little guy! He is so happy, loves to splash around and play with all of his little rubber toys. Did I say splash? Yes I did! He gets so excited to hop in the tub, doesn’t want to come out, but when he does, he loves to be dried… Read More
Today I tried to work with OCF (Off Camera Flash). Unfortunately, it was mid-day and I didn’t use quite enough flash power to ‘overpower the sun’ efficiently, so I moved on over to capture my two favorite young men hanging out in the tree! Shot with Canon 5DmkIII, 50mm, f/2.8, 1/250″, ISO 100
James and Momma Bear aren’t feeling too well – James woke up early so into bed with us he went. He then proceeded to practice his martial arts with a few swift kicks to the head, so on to the couch I went! 🙂 Then, he started pushing Momma Bear to the edge! In spite… Read More
What a great day! Got to spend a little time with my boy and his friends while they partook in a soccer camp today. I enjoyed being Mr. Mom and couldn’t resist firing off a few shots! He and friends were so cute! I don’t like posting pictures of other people’s kids, so these are… Read More
Today’s image is James kicking back watching a little Daniel Tiger! Shot with Canon 5DmkIII, 50mm f/1.2, 1/60″ ISO 400
Back to the pier! I love Santa Monica and my wife and I decided to take our little guy down to the pier to ride the ferris wheel and roller coaster. What a great evening! I used to come ride when I was a little kid so it always gives me a bit of nostalgia… Read More
I love my family. I’ve spent a lot of time climbing, scratching, and clawing my way in search of the proverbial mountaintop. I’ve succeeded in areas, failed in others, but none-the-less, I have continually moved forward and not always full of grace and dignity. I’ve always had hope, looking for the brighter days of tomorrow.… Read More
He’s only two and he’s ready to start driving. My daughter turns 17 and she’s in no rush to start driving (You can’t see her, but she’s in the back seat ready to be chauffeured). This was shot in our driveway as James and Kersten waited for me to get to the car. Youth Group… Read More
Today begins another daily challenge; the http://www.wholelifechallenge.com. I did the preliminary workout of 1 Minute pushups, 1 minute setups, 1 minute burpees, 1 minute squats, then 1 minute rest and repeat (I performed 182 total reps as my baseline). I also measured my hips and waist. I won’t report those numbers but as I’ve said… Read More
