I’m without my laptop for at least another week or two, which means my photo editing, annoying creative videos, etc. are not making it to the blog. Hopefully I’ll be reunited with my loved one and it’ll be back to business. Until then…

Check out What the Duck. It’s a hilarious comic strip centered around a duck photographer. After the hundreds I’ve read, this is still my favorite.

Last week I was feeling in a bit of rut photography wise. Needless to say, the best way out of that is to take a bunch of shots. So I’ve been a snappin’ fiend over the last week while Sunette’s sister and brother-in-law have been in town. I’ll try to post a new image each day as I get them edited.

Here’s one of the ones that I ended up liking a lot. It was a cloudy, rainy Friday last week and I decided to take a bit of a walk-about during my lunch hour. I headed down to the Chattahoochee River, which runs through downtown Columbus and just happens to be a few blocks from my office.

I ventured out onto the rocks just below one of the mill dams and saw this Heron hanging out near the falls. Trying not to spook him, my goal was to use a slow enough shutter speed to show movement of the water, but also keep it fast enough so it would freeze the Heron. It’s not the most crisp image of a Heron that you’ll find, but overall I think it works.

Once shot, I did a little post-processing in Lightroom 2 to make the bird “pop” a little from the white background.

I’ve got a ton of Elliot video snippets that I need to get posted. Here’s a sampling from a few months back when he was just learning his Bible verses.

This past weekend was Elliot’s 2nd birthday party and he had a blast. We got an incredible cake from Columbus Corner Bakery. It was delicious and they went above and beyond the call of duty on the decoration.

We had a great turn-out as you can see. Thanks everyone!

Somebody must think Elliot’s ready for potty training.

Look at that look of fear.

Wow it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged anything.  Well I figured I’d breathe new life into a blog, whilst creating a photography specific site over at Innermost Image.  So if you’re getting here from there, this blog is fairly random and includes anything from music to tech to photography to fly-fishing to whatever else comes up in the day.

I’m still working on the layouts and what not so please be patient if something doesn’t look quite right.  Thanks!
