Outside my window

I like mornings at my new place

Stoic Ryan is stoic

Ryan eats Camera

Bipolar Child

This made Mary and I laugh. These series of photos were all taken within 10 minutes of each other. A perfect example of how many mood swings and emotions a 9 month old can go through in such a short period of time.

B/W

I was messing around with some black and white conversions. Changes the mood of the photos for sure. Check 'em out.

Christmas is Super Amazing

Had a super amazing Christmas holiday. And I even got some new cool camera gear to boot! Check out our amazing Christmas eve!

Really bad at posting things

So here I am and somehow 3 months have passed. Since then a lot has happened which would normally be a lot of little posts; or at least they should have been. Instead I dumped them all into two galleries. One is a Ryan gallery as usual and the 2nd is Apple picking.

Enjoy!

Photoshop, After Effects and a creepy baby

I took a quiet spot I had this afternoon to play with after effects seeing its been 5 years since I used it in a production environment.

What I came up with is both awesome and creepy.... I know there are problems with it, but it was a fun first attempt. I think I am going to make an effort to create more of these cinimagraphs.

Big Weekend Coming up

I rented 3 lenses this weekend so it will be an interesting weekend. On top of that we moved on from rice cereal to real food. Carrot Mush!

I took the opertunity to take some new picts of Ryan to test the new gear!

We're onto solids people

4 months and counting so we moved onto rice mush for Ryan. He's getting better with it everytime we try it out. Also we bought a jogging stroller and a high chair from Kijiji. Worth $500 bucks between the two. I picked them up for $120! Should have done that with the stroller in the first place. Live and learn I guess.

Anyways, click here to see the gallery.

RollerCoaster Whirlwind

July has been a crazy month and already I can see in the distance summer coming to a close.
With that, I was getting antzy because we really havent done much this summer and I worry we are running out of time. Mary and I went to Canadas Wonderland!

Woot! I think she might start getting on board with the whole roller coaster thing.

Anyways, as always the only real reason I am posting is because I posted new picts of Ryan in the gallery. One album is random photos and the other is Bathtime fun. Enjoy!

Bad Feelings

I feel bad. I havent posted anything in a while. No pictures, no tweets, nothing!

I've been too busy. Weddings and its summer. Who wants to be cooped up inside posting on the interwebs.

Anyways, I posted a couple of random shots that sums up July so far. I will do my best to post more.

THE ZOO!!!

We went to the zoo on Friday. Rented a 70-200 lens from vistek and got to give it a whirl again.

One day kids... One day

Posted a gallery. Click the link to see!

Epic weather

Epic weather is more epic when filters are applied.

Summertime and the livings easy

It's finally summer Yay!

Time to go out and do things. A feel a zoo trip will be in our future soon. I posted some new picts of Ryan, check them out in the Gallery. I've been bad the last 2 weeks.. The weather has been garbage and it put me in a funk. I would rather play LA Noire than take photos but now its nice i'm back to it.

My dad bought me an SB700 yesterday out of the blue. Shocked I wuz. So I can finally start doing 2 point flash photography.

Im pretty stoked! Almost makes me wish I knew what I was doing.

Anyways.. It's saturday its sunny.. I should be out, not typing here!

Cheers,

Fixed the link with youtube. Never used it before so I didnt realize it defaults to private.

3 Weeks

So we made it to the 3 week point. Amazing up's, defeating lows but it's been an amazing experience overall. It's all about the little victories and taking it one step at a time. We bought a Bjorn which has been awesome. The travel system is big and bulky... The bjorn has been great because it allows us to do fun things like geocaching!

Yes, it's the geocaching time of the year and already Ryan has helped us find 4 geocaches!

He's a natural!

Below is a picture of the three of us. He's in a sweater grandma bought him.

I finally posted a couple of new picts. Check them out in the Gallery
