Busch Stadium

May 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Friday night Ana and I were able to make it to our first Cardinals game of the year.  The weather was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the Cards handily defeated the Royals.  What a great way to spend a Friday night.
I of course took my camera and grabbed a few frames.  This is my [...]

Kites

April 22nd, 2009 · Comments Off

I don’t know what it is, but Ana and I really enjoy flying kites.  Since it was finally warm when Ana and I got off of work, we thought it would be fun to take David to the park and introduce him to a kite the Easter Bunny left for him this year.

April 12th, 2009 · 4 Comments

This morning after searching our house for Easter Eggs and before going to church we decided we’d do a quick David photo shoot.  It had been a while since the “monthly photos” ended, and he was all dressed up for Easter.  As luck would have it, today just happens to be his 16 month birthday too.

I don’t know…

I started this project on the weekend of January 25th, and here on March 6th my camera cabinet sits completed and filled with my gear.  It turned out WAY better than I hoped and expected and I don’t have to hide it in a corner.   I normally wouldn’t have gone for the gold hardware, but [...]

8 Hours

February 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment

8 Hours.  That’s how long the project book said it would take to make the book case I designed my camera cabinet off of.  Ha!  I can’t even count how many hours I’ve put in on this thing now - probably another 6 or so this weekend.  I’m slow.
I made quite a bit of progress [...]

Organizing My Camera Equipment

January 25th, 2009 · Comments Off

In the nearly two years since I purchased my DSLR, I have accumulated quite a bit of stuff - lenses, flash, bag, cleaning supplies, etc.  My current organization “technique” has been to keep some of this stuff in my LowePro Slingshot 200, others in another bag, and the remainder on my desk or in a [...]
