Christmas morning we went out sledding on 6 inches of fresh snow. This beautiful Shiba Inu was out with her family that day. What a beautiful pet.

It's Cozy Inside

0 comments



I fullfilled a childhood dream of builing  a fire in an igloo. It worked out pretty cool. Now on to climbing Mount Everest. If you haven't read Randy Pausch's book, you should. It helps turn on that "Yes you can" voice in your head.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi,  1/128 s f/5, ISO 800, 18 mm, Auto white balance, curves, color enhancement and manipulation, plus crop.

I took a break from shooting photos and produced this small video called "MTV Igloo Cribs". We built this igloo in the backyard. It this first time in my life that we actually had enough snow and good enough weather to build one. My wife posted some behind the scenes photos on her blog. See other photos here.

The kids made this cute snowman with a beak. They say it's a penguin, but it feels a lot like a chilly duck to me.

A Family Moment

At Thanksgiving we did this impromptu portrait shoot in the back yard for my wife's brother and family. I had a great time. The girls are a lot of fun and I wish we had more time to capture them, but I think the last photo says a lot!

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the CANON REBEL XSI, Settings varied, all natural light, curves, color enhancement, plus crop. I used my 17-55mm.
