Make sure to check out Eric's post ...

I just realized that with all of my photo posting, I've pushed down Eric's great post about taking Sophia to the Arburetum. Do not miss that post! Not only does it have some great photos of the young one, but Eric has a way with his descriptions that sum up Sophia's personality better than I ever could.

Rainier Picnic

Last weekend, Sophia and I got together my my folks, Steve & Erin and Steve's folks, and Kevin, his cousin, and Doug for a big picnic up at Rainier. Despite prognostications of cloudy, rainy weather, the day was stunningly beautiful.

It was also terrific to see Steve & Erin for the first time in years, and Steve's parents in a lot longer time than that. It was a great day.

Sophia's Colorful Toys

Inspired by Sophia's eye-poppingly bright toys, I resolved to try to capture some of those colors and turn a select few into really creepy black-and-white images.

Seattle Shooting

Hello, everybody! A few weeks ago I went out for some photography with my friend Ron. The goal? Capture both the historic PacMed Amazon building and the Seattle skyline at dusk.

Unfortunately, the weather was absolutely atrocious, so only a handful of the nearly 200 photos I took were even reasonably okay. So, if you're interested in some reasonably okay Seattle photography (and who could resist that description?), you've come to the right place.

Visiting Grandpa Lyle

Leigh, Sophia, and I headed over to Grandpa Lyle's house on the peninsula a few weeks ago and had a great time. The excitement included watching the Seahawks win, trying to get Sophia to nap in a strange house, me getting a haircut, shopping at Fred Meyer, and a spectacularly beautiful ferry ride home.
