At the post office. Baby was getting a passport. Imagine that passport photo! It was cute. He's obviously comfortable in front of the camera. Baby's stamps will probably put mine to shame. Eventually. Muwahwahhahaha

Don't say I didn't warn you

Should have been a finance guy; probably don't have the charm.

(This is what I'm referring to)

Getting close to getting this chiaroscuro type technique down pat.  If only the lab would comply and grant some nicer blacks.

Good white wine weather lately. Throw an ice cube in there or two and you're good to go for hours!

baby is hilarious

I didn't even get to see him yesterday-- 10 hours in the office and a three hour night class.  Brutal stuff.

Also, P invited me to be a blogger on her baby blog.  I probably take like 75% baby pictures but didn't want this site to be that repository, but that one is basically built for it.  So, if you're dying for more, use google fu, I guess.  I don't think she wants me to blow up her spot.

If anyone else out there is waking up at 5 am, there is a radio station out there that plays the national anthem at 5am every day.  My alarm goes off, and it's the beginning of the song.  Oh say can you seeeee //snooze//.  I think it's like 1330 AM, and I'm pretty sure it's a Christian/talk station.  So, hot tip I guess.  Start the day off right!  It's kind of hilarious how every day it's the same, the exact same time.  I think they might actually broadcast dead air before the song (one morning I awoke in a panic that my alarm wasn't going off), because every day I start the day off with the beginning of the national anthem.

Anyone out there buying Facebook stock?  In my amateur opinion, I don't recommend it.  Maybe it's because I'm not a member, but what a flash in the pan.  How's that Friendster stock treating you?  50backflips stock, on the other hand, I'm holding that close.

pots. These were supposed to be with the aid of the flash, but only that right little band fired along with it. Oh well.

camera don't synch

The SLR goes through batteries like crazy.  I think.  3/4 of this roll was blank.  :(

hangin by the river is automatically going to be fun, because you can throw rocks into the water. It makes the conversation so much easier. This was from a freakishly hot spring day. Scort and I were working on our sunburns.

spring

One thing I love about spring time is when all the trees and grasses and little plants growing out of cracks in the sidewalk and along the sidewalk are so tender looking. Their green is absolute.  This photo isn't of that.  This is from Piccolo park, P's favorite.

This might blow you away, but I'm endorsing Obama in 2012 for president.  Is he going to win?  If he doesn't it's like fool me 9 times, shame on me.  Right?

Babby is basically an adult now

burbs

we drove out to troutdale or further and bought a huge rug at the lowes.  Just buy indoor/outdoor carpeting-- we got 100+sq feet rug for like $60-- it had some sort of backing that even made a border unnecessary, which was a big dollar saver.  Our floors have massive splinters and the baby is scooting hard.  so no muss no fuss.  We also adopted a cow hide rug, which if dog still had his eyes he might love it more.  He's obsessed with cows when we're driving.  I always say "go hang out with your cow" now and he perks up a little.  It's not the same when you can't herd it though.  I'm not sure he's put it together.

NJ in the distance ha ha ha

I was pretty sure I could see times square from up there.  Manic bright lights, advertising insanity.  At any rate, it was cool to visit and great to get a bit of the lay of the land from up there.  Plus it was sunset and you know that's just pretty.  One time we flew out of SF at dusk, and it was the stuff dreams are made of.

blowin it

all the good shots off one roll in one post.  Acros doing its thing.  Although there have been some questionable pieces of data in my recent scans-- I don't know whether to blame the xth hand camera from 19xx or Pro Photo, supposedly the kind of place you pay $15 each roll for this kind of work.  Anyhow, nice whispers of Friedlander here.

spring is here.  all the way basically.

RIP Turkey cup.  Glad to have known you.

classic baby toys on the chair.

HCSP lol

baby is doing pretty good.  I think so anyways
