Farewell Samson

This morning Samson, our dog of 4+ years had to take a ride to the Humane Society. We've been trying for more than two months to find him a new home, but there isn't a lot of interest in an older dog. We feel we've made a good choice though because we just weren't able to give him the time and attention that he needed now that Emma is getting older (and more mobile). I'm sure that he will make another family very happy. Good luck in your new home Samson.

MacBook

Jill broke down today and let me get the MacBook Pro that I've been bugging her about for months.  I'm super excited to use it even though I've been a PC person for most of my life and I totally feel like a fish out of water with this thing.  It is amazingly fast, especially when it comes to working with photos.  The images above are a few from this weekend that I sucked off the camera just to try things out.  Sorry if they're huge-I'm trying to figure Aperture (the editing program) out and the resize feature was evading me.  Off to bed before Jill thinks that she's lost me to Steve Jobs!

Easter

Here's a few images from Easter. Everyone came over to our house for lunch and we had a great time. In the late afternoon, Jill and I tried to take Emma down to the park to get some pictures of her in her Easter dress. As you can see by the first picture, she wasn't in the mood to pose. She made a quick dash to the playground and her attitude quickly improved. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Playing

These are a few pictures from Saturday of Emma playing in the back yard and getting ready to go on a bike ride. Emma loves being on the bike and making her dad winded when he has to pedal quicker as she demands "vroom, vroom!"

Lin's Wedding-Film Images

I just got the negatives and scans back from Lin's wedding. Here's a few of the images. It was fun to shoot film again-it's been a long time. Film images have such a different feel to them compared to digital. All images were made on the Contax G2 with T-Max 3200 film.

Sick Again...

It seems like we just got over an ear infection and here comes another one. Emma had a rough weekend, so she spent most of today getting some sleep. Mom was her favorite pillow for the day as you can see. Too bad she's not this much of a cuddle bug when she's feeling well. Let's hope this is the last ear infection of the season. It would stink for her to get better after all of this beautiful weather has passed and we're in the 100-plus degree days.

Too Much Goin' On

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I've given Emma a little break from being the main photography subject for the last few weeks. I've had a couple of shoots lately that have kept me busy. There's a few new pictures in the albums on my website if you feel the need to see what I've been up to.

On another note, Jill and I celebrate our 4 year anniversary tomorrow. It's hard to believe that it has been that long already. The last couple have flown by courtesy of Emma. We both have jury duty tomorrow (long story) so we'll be having a killer time.

That's all for now. I'll get some new pics up sometime soon when life isn't so darn crazy.
