Summary

Experimenting with portrait photography.

As Jill would quickly point out, I’ve come into quite a bit of camera equipment lately. Through the generosity of others, I’ve added two lenses, an external flash, and a remote to my lineup and I have been having a lot of fun exploring all the new photos that I can take.

Most recently, I got bored and decided to take some portrait photos of Jill and myself. To be fair, we didn’t really dress up for any of these, they were more about practicing composition than actually trying to look nice in them. Although I do think that Jill looks awesome, as always.

Happy birthday to me!

Okay, so technically my birthday was yesterday but Jill didn’t get back from her San Francisco trip until late last night, so we decided to wait until today. Jill decided to mix it up a little bit this year and had us all go geocaching for my presents. For those not familiar with geocaching, she essentially hid my birthday presents all throughout the city and gave me a list of GPS coordinates that I had to use to find them. At first I was a bit skeptical but it turned out to be a lot of fun!

Later, Brigham and Stephanie came over to enjoy an awesome strawberry cheesecake that Jill had made for the occasion. While here, we busted out the Wii and all enjoyed some time snowboarding, skateboarding and golfing.

Asher and I have had a lot of fun with his trains.

Jill has been attending a mathematics conference in San Francisco for the last several days, so recently it’s just been me and Asher hanging around the house having fun and trying to keep out of trouble. One thing that has kept us busy is the new set of trains and tracks that Asher got for Christmas. I have to admit, it’s quite an engineering challenge to get all of these pieces to loop back on themselves!

Nevertheless, we have had a blast playing with them and it’s been fun just having guy time. Now if we can just figure out how to make the Scion ride the rails properly, we’ll be in business!

Playing with my new camera flash.

For Christmas Jill’s parents gave me an awesome flash for my camera. One of its many nifty features includes being able to angle the flash to bounce it off of the ceiling for a more natural look. Below you’ll see a series of three photos of Jill that show how much better photos turn out with this flash, followed by some photos that Asher and I took.

For most of these, I was holding the camera and Asher was triggering the shutter with a remote control.

Texas v. Alabama

Tonight the Longhorns played Alabama for the National Championship. Based on Asher’s expression, I’ll let you figure out how well it went.
