  • Calico Kitchen

    I am flabbergasted at the level of detail in the items created for the Calico Critters toy franchise. I’m not surprised it’s Japanese (although I wouldn’t have been surprised if it were German either). But what fascinates me more is how Scarlett uses the toys to approximate her life. It reveals what she pays attention…

  • Growth

    I took this photo back in August. I’ve said it before on the blog when talking about Scarlett, but it’s incredible how much the babies change in their first year. Sure, at this point it’s 100% of his life. But eventually you reach this age where you don’t really change all that much from year…

  • Waiting on the Wall

    Ever since I first took a macro photo, I’ve been drawn to the form. I think microscopic photography often turns the everyday into the abstract. Macro photography can do that at times, but more often than not, it just lets you have a good look at something that you don’t normally get such a good…

  • The Chase

    Some things are harder with twins – feeds, giving each one the amount of attention you’d like to give them, bed times, and more. But some things are pretty awesome – like the fact that they have a playmate that’s the same age. When we were little, I used to play with my brothers, but…

  • Ice Cream Time

  • Scarlett on some Coney Island Rides

    It’s pretty crazy how much Scarlett has grown since she first started going to Coney Island. Before, there were only a few rides she liked or could go on. Now she’s going on roller coasters! I wonder if she’ll want to go on adult coasters with me when she’s old enough. I guess we’ll see…

  • Off to make some home repairs

  • Fireworks at Coney Island

    I was surprised I was able to get a decent fireworks shot with my cell. Of course, compared to my DSLR, it was a lot more random and i had a lot more crap shots that I couldn’t use than I get with my DSLR where I have exact control of f-stop, shutter speed, etc.

  • Preparing the Door

    I don’t know how easy or hard it is to get a door frame in where all the pieces are at right angles to each other. The previous home owners failed at that and so the door could never close correctly. My father-in-law tried to fix it, but he shaved the wrong side. So when…

  • Tea with Great-Granddaugther

    Other than the generational portraits, probably the most meaningful photo I took that week.

  • A Panorama of the Double Rainbow from Dan’s Engagement Party

    So are there 2-4 pots of gold to find?

  • Family Portrait Black and White

    I just couldn’t decide which version I liked best.

  • Family Portrait

    We’re hardly ever dressed up so nicely. So when we all got dressed up for Dan’s engagement party, I wanted to get a quick family portrait before we left. The pose wasn’t perfect due to the rush, and I’ll be elaborating a bit more on that in a future blog post, but I do like…

  • A Doll in the Grass

    A Doll in the Grass

    After we were done doing our multi-generational photos, my mom put Stella on the grass to take some portraits. If you follow her on Facebook, you already know how those turned out. I took a few. These two were my favorites:
