Photography
Posts about my adventures as an amateur photographer. Usually one or two nice photos show up around these parts, but not enough in my opinion… because I’m a lazy photographer.
This Week in OB1og
Yeah, it’s been a little over a week since my last post and I apologize, but it is not like there has been any public outcry/outrage over it. I don’t even have a good excuse except that maybe I didn’t feel like sitting in front of the computer after getting home from work all week. Instead, I watched the Sox sweep the Mets, which is something I haven’t done much of this year. Well, no one had watched them sweep the Mets yet; I mean watch the Sox on TV. I think the Orsillo Cam is brand new and, quite frankly, it frightens me.
So, the idea of this post is to catch up on this week’s activity, much like This Week in Basball does and a bit like Ed just did over on The Ed Zone.
I guess I’ll start with last Saturday because I can’t remember further back than that and it’s also the... Continue reading »
Happy 06.06.06 Eddie
Gotta go with Eddie on a day like today, a day like no other.
I decided last night that I wouldn’t do a tribute to Ed for his birthday, but his post on his blog this morning changed my mind. As he said, “to keep the tradition alive,” I have decided to mark his birthday with pictures, but since he’s not nearly as cute as his kids or dogs, he gets the funny treatment.
For the record, I did keep the most embarrassing two pictures from seeing the Internet. He paid enough by having to wear one on his bachelor party t-shirt.
I’m sure there will be payback in December, if not sooner… 😈
Happy Birthday Aria
Continuing the new tradition, I have posted some pictures of Aria to my flickr photostream. Since she is turning one today, I don’t have a lot and I also had to *borrow* some from Ed’s flickr and a Kodak gallery Andi set up from Saturday. Of course, Ed has posted another excellent birthday tribute for his daughter.
Colin and Aria celebrated their birthday’s with friends and family and I was the designated photographer for cake and presents. As I joked in a flickr comment, I need to get some original copies for my portfolio that will eventually go under the Visual section of this here bloggy blog.
It was a fun party. I also had the pleasure of heading out there a day earlier to help Ed with some yard chores (no one lost a limb this time) and putting together some gifts. We had a tough time with a kid-sized picnic table and I said this was just like Christmas Eve except it wasn’t, I wasn’t anyone’s Dad and we weren’t half in the bag. We eventually worked it out in time to meet up with Joe to see X3.
Water Everywhere
In celebration of all the damn rain we have had around these parts over the past week, I decided to upload some pictures of waterfalls. I took these on a trip to Portland Oregon the Summer of 2002. There are numerous waterfalls along the Columbia River Highway which runs the Columbia River Gorge. I picked some of the best shots and created a photoset in my flickr photostream. You can leave comments here or on the pictures at flickr.
This kind of water beats it flowing into your basement any day. I have to pee now…
Happy Birthday Chatham
I’m a little late with her birthday tribute since it was on the 12th. Ed told me it was the 13th. Anyway, this will no doubt add fuel to the fire that I don’t like Chats, which is far from the truth. Chats is definitely the Ying to Abby’s Yang or however that works. She’s a great pup and I lover her too. I posted a few pictures to my flickr photostream to continue this emerging tradition. She’s tougher to photograph than Abby just because her black coat absorbs all the light. I have some good ones, but once again, the lead photo in Ed’s post trumps any of mine.
Happy Birthday Colin
Today is Colin’s third birthday. Colin is Ed’s son and he has posted a nice entry on his blog to mark the occasion. I have posted some of my favorite pictures I have taken of Colin over the past three years to my flickr photostream. I figured I couldn’t commemmorate Abby’s birthday without also doing the same for Colin! Next up is Aria I suppose, unless Chatham is in the middle. Busy month for birthday’s in the Humphries household…
Happy Birthday Abby
Ed has posted an entry about Abby’s birthday on The Ed Zone. He has a great shot of Abby at the top. In honor of the occassion, I added some others to my flickr photostream. You can see three of them in my header, but there are more on flickr. None of them touch his picture though.
