Back to work

Posted on June 26, 2008

After far too few days in Sea Isle City, I’m back at work. The rest of my family is still at the shore sleeping in, getting sunburnt, sleeping some more, reading a lot, playing soccer on the beach, and washing sand out of hard-to-reach places… I came back early to shoot John & Kristen’s wedding on Friday, followed by Dawn & James’s wedding on Saturday, both of which I’m excited about!

For those of you who visit this blog in hopes of seeing some images (and that may well be all of you), I can’t imagine that you really care to see some vacation snapshots, but here they are anyway. Aren’t we all a good-lookin’ bunch?

[Note to all you photographers who are reading this… every image above was taken with my new 30/1.4 lens which, to be honest, I got for dirt cheap, and I think I’m in love…]

These shoes were made for crawlin’

Posted on June 12, 2008

One of the nice things about becoming a parent is that suddenly the gifts start pouring in. Even if you were the kid to whose birthday party no one showed up*, let alone buy you presents, all you have to do is have a child and you become gift central. It’s great.

Case in point: my Aunt Cindy dropped off a whole bunch of awesome stuff this week. Today I walked into our living room and saw this:



Now if I could just get people to give stuff that *I* want, we’d be in business. :)

* Totally hypothetical. I’m not saying has ever been at all true of myself. Really.

Over the Rhine at Sellersville Theater

Posted on June 6, 2008

Kelly and I don’t get out to see live music as much as we used to, every so often a band comes around that we simply feel compelled to see. That band is Over the Rhine, and it was at one of their shows a number of years ago that we first started dating.

Last night OTR came to the Sellersville Theater, a really cool restored old theater. I took along my camera, naturally, and snapped these from my seat.

The first act was a guy named Alfred James, and he was actually a lot of fun. He did one of the most beautiful versions I’ve ever heard of the most covered song in folk history.



Then OTR took the stage and knocked everyone’s socks off.
