Hot pepper

For a short time, I had this idea I would start shooting macro.  About 2-3 weeks into having Canon’s 100mm macro lens, I decided to sell all my Canon gear to buy a Leica M9 and lens.

I obviously didn’t have the opportunity to take many macro shots.  It was difficult to focus and I felt you really needed a flash dedicated for macro shots.  Here is a picture of a red pepper my wife was growing at the time.

Dog…

I probably should post more pics of our dog.  She’s a 12 year old border collie that has traveled from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and back to Indiana.  She is the most docile dog you would ever meet.  I only wish she was younger so that she would have many more years with our baby girl.  The title to this post is “dog…” because that is all we listen to all day from our baby girls mouth.

Lost pictures

Every couple of months I go through my pictures trying to find ones that I like but forgot about.  Today’s picture is one of them.

Last summer I was driving around looking for places to take pictures of and came across this old barn.  As I walked towards it, I glanced down and notices these flowers without petals (maybe they weren’t flower, never was very good at botany).

Sitting by the street

I really enjoy catching unique moments.  I don’t shoot too many “posed” shots because they have less meaning (at least to me) and also to be honest you have to be very creative, especially if you want to shoot something different from others.

This was a shot I took last year of some friends of ours with their kids.  I was trying to catch a unique perspective.

What’s next…

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.
