Children

So I totally cheated when it came to selecting the topic for this month.  I knew that we would have a newborn, and its hard to go too far wrong with a subject as cute as this one.  I have tons more than this, but I figured I would keep it to just a few.

This is one of the first moments that Suzie got to see Callen after he was wisked away to get some extra medical care.  It speaks volumes.

 This one is just gorgeous.  There is nothing more beautiful that a mother and her baby.  It makes it even better when the mother and baby are beautiful themselves.

June 2012--CHILDREN

Summer is kids + water = loads of fun.

Splash Park.

 Help! These mad water drops are attacking me!

" Can I find my way through here without getting my hair wet?"

And below--Aren't babies' fat little legs the cutest things?

These last three pics were taken at the park by my office during a lunch hour.

Hopefully, the attending parents didn't think I was some kind of predator.

I really wanted to take some night time shots at a punk bar, but I didn't have the guts.

Denver Architecture --April 2012

A moderately interesting highrise becomes

very interesting when reflected in the slightly

wavy glass of another skyscraper--Gaudi-like!

                                            The West Portico of the Trinity Church in the morning.
                                             The light is reflected from the skyscraper across the street,
                                              adding a very interesting effect.

                                     

                                                    A detail from the Trinity Church, Denver

                                         Enormous light fixtures in the lobby of the Denver
                                          Convention Center.

                                                   
                                          Interesting bell towers on an old Spanish style church,
                                          downtown Denver. Shot in February

                                             Dizzying reflections in the curved glass of the
                                             Wells Fargo Bank building's atrium.  Nathan actually
                                             did the enhancements on this picture, shot in February.
                                               

Architecture (why is my life so crazy?)

So again, my month was on limited time.  I wan't to get into the city, but that never worked out for me.  Prepare for some awesome pictures from my dad.  However, I tried to take some good shots of his yard, which do it very little justice.  Oh well.  Maybe I will have more time next month to actually get out and take some pictures.

Meager Movement Attempts (and non-categorical shot)

So March was a busy month for me (as has April been as you can see by the post date).  However, I did take some pictures and will post them here.  The last one isn't really movement, but it turned out super cool... so we can all pretend that it has something to do with movement.

 They were moving faster than it appears in the picture.  Fairly boring, but hey, at least its there.

 I was trying to get the movement of the stars, but I couldn't hold my camera still enough.  This is a 30 sec. exposure.  It didn't turn out how I wanted.

This is my favorite.  I call it Neon Bloom.  Look at all that movement.

Movement

I have been moving too much! We have been so busy that I didn't really have time to take any photos this month, but here is what I came up with...enjoy!

 Two-year-olds are in perpetual motion...

 so is this one..."movement" has become a major part of my life lately.  I don't mind though...I could just sit back and watch for hours.

Here's Pele taking his best shot.  

Motion photography--March 2012

                                                I shot this at the local skate board park a few Sundays
                                                ago. Doctored to look like a water color.

                                          Shot with tripod and manual settings to capture the
                                          individual drops of water. The shot is of my Japanese
                                          Garden's stone basin.

                                          Niece Kate Mullin surrounded in the bubbles she is
                                          creating, with the wind styling her blond hair.

                                              a boys' soccer game competing for attention.
