Wide Open

Lens test with borrowed Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, shot at maximum aperture (wide open). Her ears are only a couple inches away but have a lovely blur. Dear Santa, it's around $100. Nerd-filtered caption: here's a nice picture of Claire.

Up Periscope

This is Claire's latest move. Normally she's four-on-the-floor, crawling everywhere. Now she's started this thing where she gets up on her hind legs like a groundhog to get a better view.

Got Toast?

Normally I'd worry about my 2-year-old eating lots of sugar. Since so much jam stays on the outside, I figure this is OK.

Four Generations

We're back from Canadian vacation, visiting with Grandma and Grand-dad. While there we also saw Joanie's grandmother and got the four generation chart in photons. They have bad traffic around Toronto, even at the playground, as you can see in the second shot.

Rock And Roll

Tonight in Cleveland I hit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No photos are allowed in the museum area, otherwise you'd be seeing here Michael Jackson's sparkly glove or John Lennon's spectacles. Before you turn in your camera you can snap a few things, like the decorated cars from U2's Zoo TV tour.
