I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and black Friday. We decided to do our shopping online. No crowds, no stress, same prices.
As I was walking around the Lincoln Memorial with a friend I was trying to find someone interesting to take a picture of. Eventually, I found this couple enjoying a cup of coffee while resting on the steps of the memorial. They seemed unaware of everything around them besides each other.
We had 2 official birthday parties for our baby girl. Her birthday was yesterday and we had a fantastic time. Last weekend we went back home to have a party also, and this pictures was taken after she began experimenting with her cake. She looks so content and ready for the next big thing.

I don’t like posting pictures of homeless people but I found this gentlemen to be very pleasant. I spoke to him for a few minutes and gave him a few dollars.

This was taken a few months ago. I really like the expressions on everyone’s faces and the focus on my mother looking at her grand-daughter.

Since starting this site in May I have not mentioned a whole lot about my self with the exception of having a newborn. I have many enjoyments in life, including spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter, playing basketball, lifting weights, working on computers, photography, and work which consists of fixing peoples ankles and feet. I guess I have to say that I’m very diverse in what I do.
My wife grew up in the country and her father put up a basketball goal in their yard. She never had interest in playing basketball but always watched me throughout high school (yes, we are high school sweethearts). Often times we would go out and shoot baskets for fun. I never thought much about the placement of the basketball goal but it sits out in the middle of a field with a small tree along side it. The solidarity of this structure interested me and thought it would be a great picture opportunity.
We have this really cool looking bowl sitting in the middle of our island in our kitchen. Soon after I received my Leica 50mm summilux I was playing around and took this shot. I’m not much of an abstract thinker and definitely don’t shoot many abstract shots but this one turned out ok.
