Peeking at evil, hearing no evil and saying no evil.



Laurie and I were playing with the camera doing long exposure times and multiple flashes. I would turn on the lights, set the focus, shutter speed and turn off the lights. Laurie would pose, I would release the shutter, set off a flash, Laurie would move, pose, I would set off the next flash, Laurie would move, pose and I would set off the final flash. I touched up the picture some as when you do long exposures with a digital camera you get “noise” red, blue and green dots. All that was done with this picture was blending the “noise” in with surrounding color to reduce the “noise”.

Family photo (Dec 2006)


Taken at my parent's home when we were down visiting for the baby shower right before Christmas.

Laurie above the Golden Gate


Shane took Laurie for a ride on a gorgeous weekend and took this photo of her with San Francisco in the background. We both think it's a great photo of Laurie.

Laurie and EJ


Laurie holds a stuffed Dachshund, a reminder of her (real) dog Cheyenne who lives with her family in Colorado.

Before and after...



Before being fed...



And the smile that comes after...

Start 'em early


Mom introduces Ander to motorcycles on dad's dirtbike. Shane has done his part by playing "dirtbike" with Ander, using his leg to "start" the moto, twisting his wrist to gas up and then zooming him around the house on a ride, taking jumps and bumps.
