A Foggy Night - Fisherman's Wharf

Walking around the wharf in San Francisco on a recent business trip. Didn't have any meetings or events that night, so I took advantage of the time by having a great dinner and a short walk around. I took this picture of a man playing the saxophone.

Balloon Glow

On Saturday night with wine, camera and kids in tow, we had a great time at the annual balloon glow at Crane Creek Country Club. The kids ride in the balloons, while the parents drink wine (and snap photos).

Camera/Settings: Nikon D50 - 18mm/f4.1

Seattle's Sun

Sometimes this is the most sun you will see when you are visiting Seattle (above the clouds). On a recent trip to Seattle, I took this shot out the window of the Horizon Air plane. I think the windows added a little to the color.

Camera/Setttings: Nikon D50 - 50mm/f1.4

It is fair season in Idaho

We took the kids to the fair this year. Instead of going and sweating with nothing to show for it, I decided to bring my camera this year. Although I got home and realized my ISO was really, really high which produced a lot of noise on my photos, there were a couple that turned out okay.

All Smiles

School started. Summer is Over. Yet it is still 90+ degree (F) outside. So summer images are still to be had, even if we have to do it all on the weekends.

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for our second grader. This was not only the first day of school, but a new school as well. Last night everyone (including Mom) seemed to be a bit nervous about the new school and how she would transition into the new school. After the first day, all nerves seem to be calmed and she loves her new school and teacher!!

Barn Hunting

The lovely Miss Clover G and I were without kids this weekend, so we both got up and went out early together to shoot some barns (specifically this one). This barn is located just off Jug handle Golf Course and one of the more iconic Idaho golf holes.

This photo made it totally worth getting up at 5:30am and standing in 3 inches of water and 40 degree (F) temps outside. There was a very interesting sound coming from the pond. Not sure what it was, it looked like a cross between a pelican and a goose (we decided it was a Gelican). It sounded like a really loud woodpecker.
