Resuming the look back - July's visit to Pike Place Market

I haven't decided if I'm going to slack on this until next year and do a batch retrospective again, keep it closer to real-time (around the end of the month that's ending), or stop doing this :), but in the meanwhile, I'm trying to finish...

June's selection

Looking at my pictures from June, it seems like they were mostly 'people centric' photo opportunities - a visit to the beach with family, wedding, etc. Since I'm mostly skipping "people" photos with this series of posts :), I'll...

Picks of pics from May

I'm back from visiting Oklahoma for Christmas, and so I continue on the survey of my favorite shots from the year. At the end of April and through the beginning of May, we were at the APA Nationals singles tournament. Clodagh qualified through local...

favorite photos from April

So far it's been a bit tough to pick out my favorite shots from the previous months - either because I just didn't take any, like in Feb, or nothing I took really struck me, like in Jan and March. April presented the opposite challenge so I've...

skipping Feb, and on to March - the photo retrospective continues

Resuming the quasi-random cadence of looking back across pictures from the year... It turns out that while I have pictures from Feb, I'm pretty sure that I didn't take any of them. So we'll just skip that month :). March also looks like a...

My favorite photo from January

I was looking back through pictures taken during 2009 and am posting a bit of a retrospective. This is my favorite picture from January and conveniently is a picture that I previously posted about back in January, though the links are now broken on that...

A local parks weekend

One of the great things about the Seattle / King County area is the number of local parks. This weekend we visited two cool parks. St. Edwards State Park , which it turns out is open for more than just the annual MicroBrew festival, and Juanita Bay park...

Aren't my dogs cute?

I've started reading (is that right term for what's basically a picture-a-day with no real text?) a few more photo blogs lately and so am feeling a bit inspired to post a random photo today... It's not great artistically or technically, but...

out of sight, out of mind

You know the old saying, "out of sight, out of mind"? Well, how true it is. We didn't get much flooding where we are in Redmond, and since we live about 5 minutes away from work, haven't been disrupted by all of the recent rain and flooding...

more photos from the summer online now...

I finally got around to going through the pictures from our trip to Ireland and Italy this Summer and adding a bunch of them to online gallery ... A big part of this was that I was trying out some categorization/classification stuff that Lightroom lets...

A very Bainbridge Sunday

If you're a regular reader of this page and have a good memory, you may recall mention of the Bloedel Reserve back in July. Heading into last weekend we had a forecast for nice(ish) weather and put out a call to visit the reserve... As the days progress...

accidental photography lesson: always remember the basics

Recently I changed a bit of my camera gear so I was pretty happy that part of my parents' visit included sites that were good for photography... Most of the pictures I took were from Volunteer Park ( wikipedia ). I highly recommend visiting the park...

It's the fifth of July which means that Lake Union's annual "big day" is over - the " WaMu Family Fourth of July ". It's the one day of the year that we have an amazing amount of traffic and parking restrictions in Eastlake...

arg! stupid shallow depth of field (experiments with photography)

Partway through Avi and Prasadi's going away party I switched from taking pictures with a slow(ish) lens to a fast prime so that I didn't have to use the flash anymore. Now that I've gone through the pictures I've seen a few of them where someone's shoulder...

Convenience photography (photos of 1/1/07 fireworks @ spaceneedle)

I've realized that at the moment I'm into "convenience photography". What does that mean? It means that I'm into photography - but I don't really go out of my way to get a better shot or overly delay myself or my travelling companions. Unless one of them...
