A Photo Walk

Saturday (Aug 23, 2008) I was involved in a worldwide photo walk that was put together by Scott Kelby a best selling author on Photoshop and also a great photographer. It turned out to be a really fun day for me to actually meet other photographers around my area and just capture images of whatever caught our eye. There was a contest involved in all of this, but I didn’t care much for it, because for me it was an opportunity to just get out and shoot, which I hardly get the chance to do. The images are a little different from the norm of what I usually shoot, but I enjoyed the fact that it made me stop and really think about how I wanted to capture something even if I didn’t do to great this time. Photography is like any other art…it’s subjective so what make look pleasing to some may not to others. I’ve met a lot of great people that day and I hope I get to do this more often.

Kaylynn’s 1st year!

I’m blessed to have been around each stage of my daughter’s growth from birth to 12 months. I consider this an accomplishment for a military dad who’s probably been to more countries than US states. I’m also happy that I was privileged to photograph these stages. I say privileged because my daughter is a very beautiful baby and this is not just a biased opinion…God has blessed me with two gorgeous kids, but that was the easy part I guess LOL! Anyway here are the best pics in my opinion of my beautiful daughter.

She was only a week old during this shoot and it’s the biggest wall portrait I have in my home.

Her hair isn’t that long yet…her mother decided to dress her like Pippi Longstocking for an ’80s party.

And finally here is her first birthday cake!

Darius turns 5!

Last weekend we celebrated my son Darius’ birthday by giving him a little party with a few of his friends.

He was really excited about having the party, but probably more excited about getting new gifts and toys.

He wanted a Star Wars theme which to me was exciting since I grew up on Star Wars and he likes it too! Guess what we’re doing Halloween…

Rocking out with his friend Chad on Guitar Hero.

Little sis is enjoying the day too!

He was happy to get Pokeman cards.

The expression on his face when he saw that he got Mario Party for the Wii (from me) was priceless!

He’s still enjoying all of his gifts and it was a really fun day…’til next year.
